(2) When the filter becomes clogged, the vehicle speed cannot be increased as the driver wishes. In such an event, replace the filter.
(3) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(4) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
HMaintenance items and intervals with ª*º are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such maintenance in order to maintain the
