PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Explanation of General Maintenance INFOID:0000000011284935

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation

of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform

checks and inspections themselves or have their INFINITI retailers do them.

OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.

INSIDE THE VEHICLE

The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,

etc.

Item Reference page

Tires Check the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to long distance trips. Adjust

the pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified. Check carefully

for damage, cuts or excessive wear. WT-75

Wheel nuts When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose nuts.

Tighten if necessary. —

Tire rotation Tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles (8,000 km). MA-31

Tire Pressure Moni-

toring System (TPMS)

transmitter compo-

nents

Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap when the tires are

replaced due to wear or age. WT-70

Wheel alignment and

balance If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if

you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel alignment. If

the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be

needed. For additional information regarding tires, refer to "lmportant Tire Safety Infor-

mation" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada) in the INFINITI Warranty Informa-

tion Booklet.

the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.

When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubrication fre-

quently.

MA-36

Lamps Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and other

lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlamp aim.

Clean the headlamps on a regular basis.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

MA-5

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE

The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).

Seats Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to make

sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every position. Check

that the head restrains move up and down smoothly and that the locks (if equipped) hold

securely in all latched positions. Check that the latches lock securely for folding-down

rear seatbacks.

—

Seat belts Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and retrac-

tors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing

for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.

MA-36

Accelerator pedal Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch or re-

quire uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. —

Brakes Check that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —

Brake pedal and

booster Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance under

it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to keep the floor

mats away from the pedal.

BR-9

BR-16

Parking brake Check that the lever or pedal has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is

held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied. PB-6

Automatic transmis-

sion “Park” mecha-

nism

Check that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly and smoothly.

On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector lever in the

P (Park) position without applying any brakes.

—

Item Reference page

Windshield washer

fluid Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —

Engine coolant level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. CO-8

Radiator and hoses Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that may have

accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation, deterioration or loose

connections.

MA-17

Brake fluid level Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reser-

voir. MA-31

Battery Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines. Ve-

hicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require frequent

checks of the battery fluid level.

PG-114

Engine drive belts Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. MA-12

Engine oil level Check the level on the oil level gauge after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turn-

ing off the engine. LU-9

Power steering fluid

level and lines Check the level when the fluid is cold, with the engine off. Check the lines for proper

attachment, leaks, cracks, etc. MA-34

Exhaust system Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the exhaust

seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate the trouble and

correct it.

MA-23

Underbody The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those used on

icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances, otherwise

rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the exhaust system. At the

end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly flushed with plain water, being care-

ful to clean those areas where mud and dirt can easily accumulate.

—

Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has been

parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is normal. If you

should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the cause and correct

it immediately.

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

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 belts if

found damaged.

• (2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.

• (3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to the FL section.

• (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 will reduce the life expectancy of the

factory fill coolant.

• (6) Replace spark plug when the plug gap exceeds 1.4 mm (0.055 in) even if within specified periodic 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 perform

such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are

required.

Engine Oil Recommendation INFOID:0000000011284940

NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy.

Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubri-

cant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils

have the API certification mark on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label

should not be used as they could cause engine damage.

Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio INFOID:0000000011284941

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life

Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection. The anti-

freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not nec-

essary.

WARNING:

• Never remove the radiator or coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine and

radiator cool down. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radia-

tor.

• The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a

genuine NISSAN radiator cap.

CAUTION:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-

ant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to pro-

vide antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather

where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concen-

trate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN

Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufactur's instructions to maintain

minimum antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other

than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine

cooling system.

• Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue),

including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will

reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.

APPEARANCE AND NOISE

Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If malfunction is detected, replace propeller shaft

assembly.

VIBRATION

If vibration is present at high speed, adjust the propeller shaft phase first.

1. Check the propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

2. Perform a cruise test drive to check the propeller shaft for runout. If vibration occurs, separate propeller

shaft at final drive companion flange; then change the phase between companion flange and propeller

shaft by the one bolt hole at a time and install propeller shaft.

3. If vibration is still detected, measure propeller shaft runout after removing it. Refer to DLN-90, "Inspec-

tion".

1. Check the propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

2. If the alignment mark of the propeller shaft and the align-

ment mark of the companion flanges on the final drive are not

on an axis, re-install these parts to a closer position as possible.

3. Perform a cruise test drive to check the propeller shaft for runout

after installation. If vibration still occurs, separate propeller shaft

at final drive companion flange; then change the phase between

companion flange and propeller shaft by the one bolt hole at a

time and install propeller shaft.

4. If vibration is still detected, measure propeller shaft runout after

removing it. Refer to DLN-101, "Inspection".
