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.
