2017 INFINITI QX30 Engine oil

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
outside 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.

FUEL INFORMATION
Gasoline engine
CAUTION
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded
gasoline will damage the three-way catalyst.
2.0L gasoline engine model
:
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
number (Research octane number 95).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating
of at least 89 AKI number (Research octane
number 93) may be temporarily used, but only
under the following precautions:
•Have the fuel tank filled only partially with
unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with
unleaded premium gasoline as soon as pos-
sible.
•Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt accel-
eration.
Use unleaded premium gasoline for maximum
vehicle performance.
CAUTION
•Using a fuel other than that specified could
adversely affect the emission control sys-
tem, and may also affect warranty coverage.
•Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, because this will damage
the three-way catalyst.
•Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-15 or
E-85 fuel. Using E-15 or E- 85 fuel in a vehicle
not specifically designed for E-15 or E-85
fuel can adversely affect the emission con-
trol devices and systems of the vehicle.
Damage caused by such fuel is not covered
by the INFINITI new vehicle limited war-
ranty.
•U.S. government regulations require etha-
nol dispensing pumps to be identified by a
small, square, orange and black label with
the common abbreviation or the appropri-
ate percentage for that region.
