CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED
FLUIDS/LUBRICANTS
10-6Technical and consumer information
Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes
with temperature. Because of this, it is
important 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 recommended could cause serious
engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new vehicle is equipped with a high-
quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. When
replacing, use the genuine oil filter or its
equivalent for the reason described in
change intervals.
Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for your
engine are based on the use of the specified
quality oils and filters. Oil and filter other
than the specified quality, or oil and filter
change intervals longer than recommended
could reduce engine life. Damage to engines
caused by improper maintenance or use of
incorrect oil and filter quality and/or vis-
cosity is not covered by the new INFINITI
vehicle limited warranties.
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 recom-mended change interval.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RE-
FRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioning system in your INFINITI
vehicle must be charged with the refriger-
ant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the lubricant,
ND-OIL11.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or
lubricant may cause severe damage to
the air conditioning system and may
require the replacement of all air condi-
tioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
INFINITI vehicle will not harm the earth’s
ozone layer. Although this refrigerant does
not affect the earth’s atmosphere, certain
governmental regulations require the recov-
ery and recycling of any refrigerant during
automotive air conditioning system service.
Your INFINITI retailer has the trained tech-
nicians and equipment needed to recover
and recycle your air conditioning system
refrigerant.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer when servicing your air conditioning
system.
