2018 INFINITI QX30 air filter

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
otherwise lead to increased wear and dam-
age to the major assemblies or the vehicle.
An INFINITI retailer will reset the mainte-
nance service interval display after the service
work has been carried out. You can also ob-
tain 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 interme-
diate stops
•If the vehicle is primarily used to travel
short distance
•For frequent operation in mountainous
terrain 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 in-
formation 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.

10-2Technical information

Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new vehicle is equipped with a high—
quality genuine INFINITI oil filter. When re-
placing, it is recommended you use the genu-
ine 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. 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 en-
gine 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 Mainte-
nance 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 condition-
ing 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
system.
