INFINITI vehicles are designed to provide an upscale driving experience for years, but to keep your daily driver in top condition, keep to the recommended INFINITI maintenance schedule intervals. While the exact intervals can vary from vehicle to vehicle, here are some general recommendations from INFINITI of Sarasota.
INFINITI Maintenance Schedule Recommendations
Brake and Drive Systems
With normal use, you should have your brakes and drive systems, including the transfer fluid, coupling oil, and differential gear oil, inspected every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. If you drive a lot and your vehicle requires severe use maintenance, you should have these systems, as well as the steering gear, linkage, axle, and suspension parts, inspected every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement
The engine oil is one of your INFINITI’s most important fluids. Its role is to keep the engine cool, and if it is too old or its level is too low, the engine can be damaged beyond repair. To prevent costly damages, you should check its level at least once a month, preferably more often. You should also replace the engine oil together with the engine oil filter every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
Tire Rotation
Tire rotation is essential to prevent uneven tire tread wear, which can lead to wheel alignment issues. Worn-down tires are also more likely to get damaged as you’re driving, and they can reduce traction. You should rotate the tires each time you change the engine oil and filter, which is every 10,000 miles or 12 months.
In-Cabin Microfilter Replacement
The in-cabin microfilter is an HVAC filter that blocks impurities and allergens, keeping the air in your cabin cleaner and fresher. This filter should be replaced every 15,000 miles or every 18 months, whichever comes first.
Intelligent Key Battery Inspection
Your INFINITI’s Intelligent Key provides much more than keyless vehicle access. You can use it to personalize stereo presets or log into your infotainment profile automatically when you enter the vehicle. To keep it in good working order, you should have its battery inspected every 15,000 miles or 18 months.
Brake Fluid Replacement
Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid essential in transmitting the braking signal from the pedal to the brake pads. When its level is low, air can build up in the system, leading to a spongy feeling when you press the brake pedal as well as inefficient braking. To prevent accidents, the level of this fluid must be inspected every 20,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first.
Air Cleaner Filter Replacement
Not to be confused with the microfilter, the air cleaner filter is part of the engine system, cleaning intake air and stopping eventual flames if the engine backfires. It must be replaced every 30,000 miles or 36 months, whichever comes first.
