2020 INFINITI Q60 Owners Manual

NOTE:
Maintenance items with “$” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance under severe driving conditions” (P.9-10).
(1) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(2) Periodic maintenance is not required.
(3) After 40,000 miles (64,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found
damaged.
(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% antifreeze 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 coolant.
(6) If the oil replacement indicator is displayed, change the engine oil and filter as soon as possible. After replacing the engine oil, reset the
display.
(7) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
(8) Replace spark plug when the plug gap exceeds 0.043 in (1.1 mm) even if within specified replacement mileage.
(9) Inspect the clearance between the brake pedal and the switches.
(10) Refer to “Tire rotation” under “General maintenance” (P.9-2).
(11) If using a 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.
*: Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such
maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are required.
