When you maintain your Infiniti regularly, you can make sure your vehicle is at the peak of its performance. While your personal model may have specific service requirements, in general, most Infiniti owners should adhere to the following basic maintenance schedule.
Every 5,000 Miles or Six Months
Replace your Infiniti’s engine oil and filter and lubricate the propeller shaft. For most Infiniti owners, this period is also the time to have your tires rotated, with some exceptions. If you own a performance or sports model, such as the Q60 Coupe Journey with Sport Package, your car will have different tire rotation specifications. Refer to the owner’s manual when in doubt.
If you tend to drive in stop-and-go traffic; do much off-roading; have driven in deep sand, water, or mud; or regularly tow a trailer, you’ll want to have these basic services performed every 3 months, or every 3,750 miles. However, every 5,000 miles is a good rule of thumb for most drivers.
In addition, have your maintenance technician inspect the vehicle’s exhaust system, brake calipers, pads, rotors, axle and suspension parts, steering gear, and steering linkage ball joints if you use your vehicle under more strenuous operating conditions like those noted above.
Every 10,000 Miles or 12 Months
Each year, you’ll need to bring your Infiniti to your service technician for a thorough inspection. This inspection checks CVT fluid, manual transmission oil, brake lines and cables, automatic transmission fluid, differential oil, transfer case oil, drive shaft boots, and other aspects of your vehicle to make sure everything is working properly. In some cases, you may need to have your brake fluid replaced. This type of inspection will visually look for any signs of leakage.
Ask your certified Infiniti technician about performing a Multi-Point Inspection each time you bring in the vehicle for regular maintenance, as the regular maintenance period is the best way to spot potential issues before they lead to problems.
Every 15,000 Miles or 18 Months
At the 15,000-mile mark, you will already be bringing in your vehicle to have the engine oil and filter replaced and the tires rotated, but this 15,000-mile mark is also the time to replace the in-cabin microfilter. This component is your car’s air purification filter, and it tends to become clogged with allergens, dust, pollutants, and other particles over time. Skipping this crucial replacement could mean dealing with allergic reactions inside your vehicle.
If you tend to do a lot of off-roading or drive in dusty conditions, you should have your in-cabin microfilter changed more often.
Premium Maintenance Upgrades
Infiniti owners can also opt for Premium Maintenance Upgrades, which include services such as lubricating locks and hinges, replacing the radiator cap, replacing drive belts, inspecting all lights, replacing wiper blades, and more. Your technician can offer these services at any of your regularly scheduled maintenance appointments.
