WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check fluid level with engine stopped.
Make sure that fluid level is between MIN and MAX.
Fluid levels at HOT (A) and COLD (B) are different. Do not confuse them.
