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.
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.
10-6Technical information

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
recovery and recycling of any refrigerant dur-
ing automotive air conditioner system ser-
vice. An INFINITI retailer has the trained
technicians and equipment needed to recover
and recycle your air conditioner system re-
frigerant.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer when servicing your air conditioner
system.

When planning to drive your INFINITI VE-
HICLE in another country, you should first
find out if the fuel available is suitable for
your vehicle's engine.
Using fuel with an octane rating that is too
low may cause engine damage. All gasoline
vehicles must be operated with unleaded
gasoline. Therefore, avoid taking your vehicle
to areas where appropriate fuel is not avail-
able.
When transferring the registration of your
vehicle to another country, state, province
or district,it may be necessary to modify the
vehicle to meet local laws and regulations.
The laws and regulations for motor vehicle
emission control and safety standards vary
according to the country, state, province or
district; therefore, the vehicle specification
may differ.
When any vehicles are to be taken into an-
other country, state, province or district, its
modification, transportation, registration,
and any other expenses which may result,
are the responsibility of the user. INFINITI is
not responsible for any inconveniences that
may result. It is prohibited to cover, paint, weld, cut, drill,
