FUEL RECOMMENDATION:
VQ35HR engine
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded pre-
mium gasoline with an octane rating of at least
91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
you may use unleaded regular gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 87 AKI number (Re-
search octane number 91), but you may notice a
decrease in performance.
CAUTION
●Using a fuel other than that specified could
adversely affect the emission control sys-
tems, and may also affect warranty
coverage.
● Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, since this will damage the
three way catalyst.
● 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.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION:
● Engine oil with API Certification Mark
● Viscosity SAE 5W-30
See “CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED
FUEL/LUBRICANTS” in the “9. Technical and
consumer information” section for engine oil
and oil filter recommendation.
COLD TIRE PRESSURES:
The label is typically located on the driver side
center pillar or on the driver’s door. For addi-
tional information, see “WHEELS AND TIRES” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
RECOMMENDATION:
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of
vehicle use, follow the recommendations out-
lined in the “BREAK-IN SCHEDULE” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section of this Owner’s
Manual. Follow these recommendations for the
future reliability and economy of your new
vehicle.
