2017 INFINITI QX30 service schedule

Steering gear and linkage, axle and suspension
parts, drive shaft boots:
Check for damage, looseness, and leakage of
oil or grease. Under severe driving conditions,
inspect more frequently
Tire rotation:
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 miles
(10,000 km) for 2WD, every 3000 miles (5000
km) for 4WD/AWD according to the instructions
underTire rotation* earlier in this section“Ge-
neral maintenance” in this section. When rotat-
ing tires, check for damage and uneven wear.
Replace if necessary.
Transmission fluid/oil, differential oil, transfer
case oil:
Visually inspect for signs of leakage at specified
intervals. To ensure smooth, trouble-free, safe and eco-
nomical driving, INFINITI provides two mainte-
nance schedules that may be used, depending
upon the conditions in which you usually drive.
These schedules contain both distance and
time intervals, up to 120,000 miles (192,000
km)/144 months. For most people, the odom-
eter reading will indicate when service is
needed. However, if you drive very little, your
vehicle should be serviced at the regular time
intervals shown in the schedule.
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144 months,
continue maintenance at the same mileage/time
intervals.
ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
FOR SEVERE OPERATING SYSTEMS
Additional maintenance items for severe oper-
ating conditions; should be performed on ve-
hicles that are driven under especially demand-
ing conditions. Additional maintenance items
should be performed if you primarily operate
your vehicle under the following conditions:
•Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in
normal temperatures or less than 10 miles in
freezing temperatures.
•Stop-and-go traffic in hot weather or low
speed driving for long distances.
•Driving in dusty conditions or on rough,
muddy or salt-spread roads.
•Towing a trailer, or using a camper or car-top
carrier.
OIL CHANGE MONITOR
This vehicle is equipped with oil change moni-
tor. It calculates engine oil and filter change
interval base on driving conditions. Driving in
severe conditions will shorten the engine oil
and filter change interval. When the Engine Oil
– Service Due Now warning appears in the
vehicle information display, the engine oil and
filter need to be replaced.
NOTE
For vehicles operated in Canada, both standard
and severe maintenance items should be per-
formed at every interval.
MAINTENANCE SERVICE MESSAGES
The maintenance service interval display in-
forms you of the next service due date.
NOTE
The maintenance service interval display does
not show any information on the engine oil level.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
Maintenance and Schedules9-7

The vehicle information display shows a service
message for a few seconds, e g:
•[Service A In .. days]
•[Service A Due]
•[Service A Exceeded by .. days]
Depending on the operating conditions of the
vehicle, the remaining time or distance until the
next service due date is displayed.
The letter indicates which service is due. A
stands for a minor service and B for a major
service. A number or another letter may be
displayed after the letter.
Only for certain countries: the position after the
letter A or B indicates any necessary additional
maintenance work. If you notify an INFINITI
retailer of this display, you will receive a state-
ment on the associated costs.
The maintenance service interval display does
not take into account any periods of time during
which the battery is disconnected.
Maintaining the time-dependent service sched-
ule:
Note down the service due date displayed in the
vehicle information display before disconnect-
ing the battery.
or After reconnecting the battery, subtract the
battery disconnection periods from the service
date shown on the display.

Information about service
Resetting the maintenance service interval display:
CAUTION
If the maintenance service interval display has
been inadvertently reset, this setting can be
corrected at an INFINITI retailer.
Have service work carried out as described in
the Maintenance Schedule. This may other-
wise lead to increased wear and damage to the
major assemblies or the vehicle. An INFINITI retailer will reset the maintenance
service interval display after the service work
has been carried out. You can also obtain
further information on maintenance work, for
example.
Special service requirements
:
The prescribed service interval is based on
normal operation of the vehicle. Service work
will need to be performed more often if the
vehicle is operated under arduous conditions or
increased loads, for example:
•Regular city driving with frequent intermedi-
ate stops
•If the vehicle is primarily used to travel short
distance
•For frequent operation in mountainous ter-
rain or on poor road surfaces
•If the engine is often left idling for long
periods
In these or similar operating conditions, have,
for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil
filter changed more frequently. The tires must
be checked more frequently if the vehicle is
operated under increased loads. Further infor-
mation can be obtained at an INFINITI retailer.
9-8Maintenance and Schedules

Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for your
engine are based on the use of the specified
quality oils and filters. Using engine oil and
filters that are not of the specified quality, or
exceeding recommended oil and filter change
intervals could reduce engine life. Damage to
engines caused by improper maintenance or
use of incorrect oil and filter quality and/or
viscosity is not covered by the new INFINITI New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Your engine was filled with a high quality
engine oil when it was built. You do not have to
change the oil before the first recommended
change interval. Oil and filter change intervals
depend upon how you use your vehicle.
Operation under the following conditions may
require more frequent oil and filter changes:
•Repeated short distance driving at cold out-
side temperatures
•Driving in dusty conditions
•Extensive idling
•Stop and go “rush hour” traffic
Refer to the “INFINITI Service and Maintenance
Guide” for the maintenance schedule.
AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioner system of your vehicle must
be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and
the lubricant INFINITI A/C System Oil Type S or
the exact equivalents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil may
cause severe damage to the air conditioning
system and will require the replacement of all
air conditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehicle will not
harm the Earth’s ozone layer. However, it may
contribute in a small part to the global warming
effect.
Certain government regulations require the re-
covery and recycling of any refrigerant during
automotive air conditioner system service. An
INFINITI retailer has the trained technicians and
equipment needed to recover and recycle your
air conditioner system refrigerant.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer when servicing your air conditioner sys-
tem.
