OE: 12010-JD20A Piston for Nissan Qashqai 2.0L | Nissan

Overview

The OE: 12010-JD20A piston supports stable engine operation in Nissan Qashqai 2.0L gasoline models.
It transfers combustion force efficiently from the cylinder to the crankshaft.
As a result, the engine delivers balanced power and smooth response during daily driving.
This piston follows Nissan factory specifications for dimensional accuracy and durability.

Compatibility

This piston fits Nissan Qashqai vehicles equipped with the MR20DE 2.0L gasoline engine.
Nissan applied this engine across multiple Qashqai generations worldwide.
Therefore, the piston suits vehicles operating in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
Its diameter, compression height, and pin position match original engine requirements.
Moreover, technicians can install it directly in standard bore applications.

Material / Mechanical Design

The piston uses a high-strength aluminum alloy body designed for lightweight performance.
In addition, the aluminum construction supports efficient heat dissipation during combustion cycles.
The exterior surface maintains dimensional stability under normal operating temperatures.
At the same time, the skirt profile supports smooth movement inside the cylinder.
This design helps maintain consistent engine behavior during extended operation.

Combustion Efficiency & Engine Performance

Stable piston movement supports smooth combustion and predictable throttle response.
Moreover, accurate piston geometry helps maintain proper compression balance.
As a result, the engine delivers steady torque during city driving and highway cruising.
The piston also supports reliable operation during cold starts.
Therefore, Qashqai owners benefit from consistent performance in daily use.
