CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface andapply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches the normal operating tempera-
ture.
3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than 10 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil
pan.
4. Remove the dipstick
1and wipe it clean.
Reinsert it all the way.
5. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be within the range
2and
3. If the oil level is below
3, remove the oil
filler cap and pour the recommended oil
into the opening. Do not overfill
2.
It is normal to add some oil between oil main-
tenance intervals or during the break-in pe-
riod, depending on the severity of operating
conditions.
CAUTION
The oil level should be checked regularly.
Operating the engine with an insufficient
amount of oil can damage the engine, and
such damage is not covered by the
warranty.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL
WARNING
•Prolonged and repeated contact with
used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
•Try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
and plenty of water as soon as possible.
•Keep used engine oil out of reach of
children.
CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself. The engine
oil may be hot.

CAUTION
•Be sure to remove any old gasket mate-
rial remaining on the sealing surface of
the engine. Failure to do so could lead to
an oil leak and engine damage.
•The dipstick must be inserted in place to
prevent oil spillage from the dipstick
hole when filling the engine with oil.
6. Coat the gasket on the new filter with clean engine oil.
7. Screw on the oil filter until a slight resis- tance is felt, then tighten an additional
2/3 turn.
Engine oil filter tightening torque: 19 ft-lb,
25 N•m
8. Start the engine and check for leakage around the oil filter. Correct as required.
9. Turn the engine off and wait more than 10 minutes. Check the oil level. Add en-
gine oil if necessary. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer if checking or replacement is required.
CAUTION
•Use only Shell DCT-M1 or equivalent.
Do not mix with other fluids.
•Using automatic transmission fluid
other than Shell DCT-M1 may cause de-
terioration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may dam-
age the automatic transmission. Dam-
age caused by the use of fluids other
than as recommended is not covered by
the warranty.
WARNING
•Use only new fluid. Old, inferior, or con-
taminated fluid may damage the brake
systems. The use of improper fluids can
damage the brake system and affect the
vehicle's stopping ability.
•Clean the filler cap before removing.
•Brake fluid is poisonous and should be
stored carefully in marked containers
out of the reach of children.
CAUTION
•Do not spill the fluid on painted surfaces.
This will damage the paint. If fluid is
spilled, wash with water.
