GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Explanation of General Maintenance INFOID:0000000011284935

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 have their INFINITI retailers do them.

OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.

If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if you detect uneven or abnormal ti re we ar, there may be a need for wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrat es at normal highway speeds , wheel balancing may be needed. For additional information regardi ng tires, refer to "lmport ant T i re Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada) in the INFINITI Warranty Information Booklet.

Introduction of Periodic Maintenance INFOID:0000000011284937

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent maintenance may be required.

Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

NOTE:

• (1) After 40,000 miles (64 ,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 10,000 mile s (16,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found damaged.

• (2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions , more frequent maintenance may be required.

• (3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to the FL section.

• (4) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 60 months.

• (5) Use only Genuine NISSAN long life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture rat io of 50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life expectancy of the factory fill coolant.

• (6) Replace spark plug when the plug gap exceeds 1.4 mm (0.055 in) even if within specified periodic replacement mileage.

• (7) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.

* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are required.

MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS

The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be performed on the following items as shown in the table.

Severe driving conditions

• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).

• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures remaining below freezing.

• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.

• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long dist ances, such as police, t axi or door-to-door delivery use.

• Driving in dusty conditions.

• Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.

• Towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier.

Engine Oil Recommendation INFOID:0000000011284940

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 Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity 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.

JSPIA0014ZZ

API certification mark API service symbol

Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio INFOID:0000000011284941

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection. The antifreeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not necessary.

WARNING:

• Never remove the radiator or coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator.

• The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a genuine NISSAN radiator cap.

CAUTION:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to provide antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concentrate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufactur's instructions to maintain minimum antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine cooling system.

• Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue), including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non -distilled water will reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
