2006 INFINITI G35 technical specifications

O Waste oil must be disposed of prop-
erly.
O Check your local regulations.
4. Loosen the oil filter with an oil filter
wrench
q B
. Remove the oil filter by
turning it by hand.
5. Wipe the engine oil filter mounting
surface with a clean rag.
Be sure to remove any old rubber
gasket remaining on the mounting sur-
face of the engine.
6. Coat the gasket on the new filter with
clean engine oil.
7. Screw in the oil filter clockwise until a
slight resistance is felt, then tighten
additionally more than 2/3 turn.
Oil filter tightening torque:
11 to 15 ft-lb
(14.7 to 20.5 N z m)
8. Clean and re-install the drain plug
with a new washer. Securely tighten
the drain plug with a wrench.
Drain plug tightening torque:
22 to 29 ft-lb
(29 to 39 N z m)
Do not use excessive force. 9. Refill engine with recommended oil
and install the cap securely.
CAUTION The dipstick must be inserted in place to pre-
vent oil spillage from the dipstick hole while
filling the engine with oil.
See ªCapacities and recommended
fuel/lubricantsº in the ª9. Technical
and consumer informationº section for
drain and refill capacity. The drain and
refill capacity depends on the oil tem-
perature and drain time. Use these
specifications for reference only. Al-
ways use the dipstick to determine the
proper amount of oil in the engine.
CAUTION When filling oil, do not pull out the dipstick.
10. Start the engine and check for
leakage around the drain plug and
the oil filter. Correct as required. 11. Turn the engine off and wait more
than 10 minutes. Check the oil level
with the dipstick. Add engine oil if
necessary.
After the operation 1. Install the engine undercover into po-
sition as the following steps.
a. Pull the center of the small plastic
clip out.
b. Hold the engine undercover into
position.
c. Insert the clip through the under-
cover into the hole in the frame,
then push the center of the clip in
to lock the clip in place.
d. Install the other bolts that hold the
undercover in place. Be careful not
to strip the bolts or over-tighten
them.
2. Lower the vehicle carefully to the
ground.
3. Dispose of waste oil and filter prop-
erly.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Sedan Ð Automatic transmission
models Use unleaded regular gasoline with an oc-
tane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock In-
dex) number (Research octane number 91).
For improved vehicle performance,
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of
at least 91 AKI number (Research octane
number 96).
Sedan Ð Manual transmission
and Coupe models Use unleaded premium gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane
number 96).
If premium gasoline is not available, un-
leaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 AKI number (Research octane
number 91) may be temporarily used, but
only under the following precautions:
O Have the fuel tank filled only partially
with unleaded regular gasoline, and
fill up with unleaded premium gaso-
line as soon as possible. O Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso-
line is recommended.
CAUTION O Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission con-
trol system, and may also affect the war-
ranty coverage.
O Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, because this will dam-
age the three-way catalyst.
O Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed to run on E-85
fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel
system components and is not covered
by the INFINITI vehicle limited warranty.
Gasoline specifications INFINITI recommends using gasoline that
meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter
(WWFC) specifications where it is avail- able. Many of the automobile manufactur-
ers developed this specification to im-
prove emission control system and ve-
hicle performance. Ask your service
station manager if the gasoline meets the
WWFC specifications.
Reformulated gasoline Some fuel suppliers are now producing
reformulated gasolines. These gasolines
are specially designed to reduce vehicle
emissions. INFINITI supports efforts to-
wards cleaner air and suggests that you
use reformulated gasoline when avail-
able.
Gasoline containing oxygenates Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline contain-
ing oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE
and methanol with or without advertising
their presence. INFINITI does not recom-
mend the use of fuels of which the oxy-
genate content and the fuel compatibility
for your INFINITI cannot be readily deter-
mined. If in doubt, ask your service sta-
tion manager.
If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline,
please take the following precautions as
the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle

When planning to travel in another
country, you should first find out if the
fuel available is suitable for your vehicle's
engine.
Using fuel with too low an octane rating
may cause engine damage. All gasoline
vehicles must be operated with unleaded
engine gasoline. Therefore, avoid taking
your vehicle to areas where appropriate
fuel is not available.
When transferring the registration of your
vehicle to another country, state, province
or district, it may be necessary to modify
the vehicle to meet local laws and regula-
tions.
The laws and regulations for motor ve-
hicle emission control and safety stan-
dards vary according to the country,
state, province or district; therefore, ve-
hicle specifications may differ.
When any vehicle is to be taken into an-
other country, state, province or district
and registered, its modifications, trans-
portation, and registration are the respon-
sibility of the user. INFINITI is not respon-
sible for any inconvenience that may re-
sult. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
(VIN) PLATE The vehicle identification number plate is
attached as shown. This number is the
identification for your vehicle and is used
in the vehicle registration.

IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION Unfortunately, accidents do occur. In this
unlikely event, there is some important
information you should know. Many insur-
ance companies routinely authorize the
use of non-genuine collision parts in
order to cut costs, among other reasons. Insist on the use of Genuine
INFINITI Collision Parts! If you want your vehicle to be restored
using parts made to INFINITI's original ex-
acting specifications Ð if you want to
help it to last and hold its resale value,
the solution is simple. Tell your insurance
agent and your repair shop to only use
Genuine INFINITI Collision Parts. INFINITI
does not warrant non-INFINITI parts, nor
does INFINITI's warranty apply to damage
caused by a non-genuine parts.
Using Genuine INFINITI Parts can help pro-
tect your personal safety, preserve your
warranty protection and maintain the re-
sale value of your vehicle. And if your ve-
hicle was leased, using Genuine INFINITI
Parts may prevent or limit unnecessary
excess wear and tear expenses at the end
of your lease.
INFINITI designs its hoods with crumple
zones to minimize the risk that the hood
will penetrate the windshield of your ve-
hicle in an accident. Non-genuine (imita-
tion) parts may not provide such built-in
safety features. Also, non-genuine parts
often show premature wear, rust and cor-
rosion. Why should you take a chance? In over 40 states, the law says you must
be advised if non-genuine parts are used
to repair your vehicle. And some
states/provinces have enacted laws that
restrict insurance companies from autho-
rizing the use of non-genuine collision
parts during the new vehicle warranty.
These laws help protect you, so you can
take action to protect yourself.
It's your right! If you should need further information
