GENERAL MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCEPFP:00000
Explanation of General MaintenanceNLS0007A
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their INFINITI dealers do them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherw is e spec ifie d.

necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Wheel nutsWhen checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missi ng, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary.

If the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal hig hwa y spe eds, w heel
balancing may be needed.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
ItemReference page
UnderbodyThe underbody is frequently exposed to corrosi ve substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and aroun d
the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate.
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately.

one or more of the following driving conditions:
● Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
● Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temper at ure s
remaining below freezing.
● Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour ” t raffic.
● Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances , suc h as poli ce,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
● Driving in dusty conditions.

NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Comm ittee (ILSAC) certification and SAE vis cosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.

contains rust and corrosion inhib itors. Therefore, add itional cooling
system additi ves are not necess ary.
CAUTION:
When adding or replac ing coolant, be sure to us e only genu ine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant or equivalent with the
proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized
