2017 INFINITI QX30 oil

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

The following tables show the standard maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric conditions, varying road surfaces, individual
driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent maintenance may be required. After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144 months, continue
maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS/LUBRICANTS AND
CAPACITIES
10-2Technical information

level roads, it is recommended you have an
INFINITI retailer correct the condition. Failure to
correct the condition is misuse of the vehicle, for
which INFINITI is not responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in knocking,
after-run and/or overheating. This in turn may
cause excessive fuel consumption or damage to
the engine. If any of the above symptoms are
encountered, have your vehicle checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer.
However, now and then you may notice light
spark knock for a short time while accelerating
or driving up hills. This is no cause for concern,
because you get the greatest fuel benefit when
there is light spark knock for a short time under
heavy engine load.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATIONS
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade,
quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure sat-
isfactory engine life and performance. For addi-
tional information, refer toRecommended
fluids/lubricants and capacities earlier in this
section. 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) certification or Interna-
tional Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscos-
ity standard. These oils have the API certifica-
tion 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
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.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or has
been previously used should not be used.
Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes
with temperature. Because of this, it is impor-
tant that the engine oil viscosity be selected
based on the temperatures at which the vehicle
will be operated before the next oil change.
Choosing an oil viscosity other than that recom-
mended could cause serious engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new vehicle is equipped with a high—
quality genuine INFINITI oil filter. When replac-
ing, it is recommended you use the genuine oil
filter or its equivalent for the reason described
in “Change intervals”.
