[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]. The fuel filter or fuel lines should be
serviced by an INFINITI retailer because
the fuel lines are under high pressure
even when the engine is off.
CAUTION. Do not work under the hood while the
engine is hot. Turn the engine off and
wait until it cools down.
. Avoid direct contact with used engine oil
and coolant. Improperly disposed engine
oil, coolant, and/or other vehicle fluids
can damage the environment. Always
conform to local regulations for disposal
of vehicle fluid.
This “ 8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself ”
section gives instructions regarding only
those items which are relatively easy for an
owner to perform.
A genuine INFINITI Service Manual is also
available. (See “ Owner ’ s Manual/Service
Manual order information ” (P.9-28).)
You should be aware that incomplete or
improper servicing may result in operating
difficulties or excessive emissions, and could affect your warranty coverage. If in
doubt about any servicing, we recommend
that it be done by an INFINITI retailer.

[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]CAUTIONBe sure to remove any old rubber gasket
remaining on the mounting surface of the
engine. Failure to do so could lead to engine
damage.
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·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·m)
Do not use excessive force.
9. Refill engine with recommended oil and
install the oil filler cap securely.
See “ Capacities and recommended
fuel/lubricants ” (P.9-2) for drain and refill capacity. The drain and refill
capacity depends on the oil tempera-
ture and drain time. Use these specifi-
cations for reference only. Always use
the dipstick to determine the proper
amount of oil in the engine.
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
15 minutes. Check the oil level with the
dipstick. Add engine oil if necessary.
After the operation GUID-28B45484-D2E9-4712-897E-4EBAD29B4BC7
1. Install the engine undercover into
position 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 properly.
WARNING . Prolonged and repeated contact with
used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used
oil. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
as soon as possible.
. Keep used engine oil out of reach of
children.

as illustrated and
pull out the filter element
* 2
.
The filter element should not be cleaned
and reused. Replace it according to the
maintenance intervals. See “ INFINITI Ser-
vice and Maintenance Guide ” for mainte-
nance intervals. When replacing the filter, wipe the inside of the air cleaner housing
and the cover with a damp cloth.
WARNING . Operating the engine with the air
cleaner removed can cause you or others
to be burned. The air cleaner not only
cleans the air, it stops flame if the
engine backfires. If it isn ’ t there, and the
engine backfires, you could be burned.
Do not drive with the air cleaner
removed, and be careful when working
on the engine with the air cleaner
removed.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle body or
attempt to start the engine with the air
cleaner removed. Doing so could result
in serious injury.

COMMENDATION GUID-5DAF484B-5225-4882-BA4B-DB4830EFE0AF
Selecting the correct oil GUID-7E56B07C-FA31-476B-909A-6FD2C08A7626
It is essential to choose the correct grade,
quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure
satisfactory engine life and performance,
see “ Capacities and recommended fuel/
lubricants ” (P.9-2). INFINITI 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) certifi-
cation or International Lubricant Standar-
dization 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.
Oil additives GUID-11AD1E70-8EAE-4D70-880A-3AA3882862D5
INFINITI does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not
necessary when the proper oil type is used
and maintenance intervals are followed.
