The vehicle information display shows a ser-
vice message for a few seconds, for example:
•[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 ad-
ditional maintenance work. If you notify an
INFINITI retailer of this display, you will re-
ceive a statement on the associated costs.
The maintenance service interval display
does not take into account any periods of
time during which the battery is discon-
nected. Maintaining the time-dependent service
schedule:

the vehicle information display before dis-
connecting the battery.

After reconnecting the battery, subtract the
battery disconnection periods from the ser-
vice date shown on the 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-

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

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
engine oil when it was built. You do not have
to change the oil before the first recom-
mended 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.
