NOTE:
(1) After 40,000 miles (64,000 km) or 48
months, inspect every 10,000 miles
(16,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the
drive belt if found damaged.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions,
more frequent maintenance may be re-
quired.
(3) Periodic maintenance is not required.
(4) First replacement interval is 105,000
miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000
miles (120,000 km) or 60 months.
(5) Use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent
with proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-
freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled
water. Mixing any other type of coolant or
the use of non-distilled water may reduce
the life expectancy of the factory fill cool-
ant.
(6) Replace spark plug when the plug gap
exceeds 0.053 in (1.35 mm) even if withinspecified replacement mileage.
(7) Periodic maintenance is not required.
However, if valve noise increases, inspect
valve clearance.
*: Maintenance items and intervals with “*”
are recommended by INFINITI for reliable
vehicle operation. The owner need not to
perform such maintenance in order to
maintain the emission warranty or manu-
facturer recall liability. Other maintenance
items and intervals are required.

“Maintenance under severe driving condi-
tions” (P.9-13).
(1) Periodic maintenance is not required.
(2) If towing trailer, using a camper or car-
top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy
roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every
20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24 months.
(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” under “General
maintenance” (P.9-2).

The maintenance intervals shown on the
preceding pages are for normal operating
conditions. If the vehicle is mainly operated
under severe driving conditions as shown
below, more frequent maintenance must be
performed on the following items as shown
in the table.
Severe driving conditions
.Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles
(8 km).
. Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles
(16 km) with outside temperatures re-
maining below freezing.
