CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED
FLUIDS/LUBRICANTS

Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes
with temperature. Because of this, it is
important that the engine oil viscosity be
selected based on the temperatures at which
the vehicle will be operated before the next
oil change. Choosing an oil viscosity other
than that recommended could cause serious
engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new vehicle is equipped with a high-
quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. When
replacing, use the genuine 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. Oil and filter other
than the specified quality, or oil and filter
change intervals longer than recommended
could reduce engine life. Damage to engines
caused by improper maintenance or use of
incorrect oil and filter quality and/or vis-
cosity is not covered by the new INFINITI
vehicle limited warranties.
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.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RE-
FRIGERANT AND OIL RECOM-
MENDATIONS
The air conditioner system in your INFINITI
vehicle must be charged with the refriger-
ant HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) and NISSAN
A/C System Oil SP-A2 (PAG) or the exact
equivalents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil
will cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and will require the
replacement of all air conditioner system
components.
The refrigerant HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) in
your INFINITI vehicle does not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. Although this refrigerant
does not affect the earth’s atmosphere,
certain government regulations require the
recovery and recycling of any refrigerant
during automotive air conditioner system service. Air conditioner system should only
be serviced by trained and certified techni-
cians to ensure proper and safe operation
(SAE J2845). An INFINITI retailer has the
trained technicians and equipment needed
to recover and recycle your air conditioner
system refrigerant. Only new and
SAEJ2842 certified evaporator(s) shall be
used as replacement parts.
A damaged or leaking air conditioning
evaporator shall never be repaired or re-
placed with one removed from a used or
salvaged vehicle. To replace a damaged or
leaking evaporator, use only new and SAE
J2842 certified evaporator(s). It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
when servicing your air conditioner system.
