2018 INFINITI QX60 checking oil

Maintenance
The maintenance menu allows the user to set
reminders for various vehicle maintenance
intervals.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a sub-
stitute for regular tire checks, including tire
pressure checks. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Changing wheels and tires” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion of this manual. Many factors including
tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tirereplacement indicator for a certain driving
distance does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement indica-
tor as a guide only and always perform
regular tire checks. Failure to perform
regular tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may lead to
a collision, which could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.

If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
For additional information on the location of
the engine coolant reservoir, refer to "Engine
compartment check locations" in this section.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
An INFINITI retailer can change the engine
coolant. The service procedure can be found
in the INFINITI Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine overheating.
WARNING
∙ To avoid the danger of being scalded,never change the coolant when the en-
gine is hot.
∙ Never remove the radiator or engine coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
hot. Serious burns could be caused by
high pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator.
∙ Avoid direct skin contact with used cool- ant. If skin contact is made, wash thor-
oughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon
as possible. ∙ Keep coolant out of the reach of children
and pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
Check your local regulations.CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches operating temperature.
3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than
10 minutes for the oil to drain back into
the oil pan.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinsert it all the way.
