change. Choosing an oil viscosity other than
that recommended could cause serious en-
gine damage.

Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new vehicle is equipped with a high—
quality genuine INFINITI oil filter. When re-
placing, it is recommended you use the genu-
ine 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. Using engine oil and
filters that are not of the specified quality, or
exceeding recommended oil and filter change
intervals could reduce engine life. Damage to
engines caused by improper maintenance or
use of incorrect oil and filter quality and/or
viscosity is not covered by the new INFINITI
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
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:
•Repeated short distance driving at cold
outside temperatures
•Driving in dusty conditions
•Extensive idling
•Stop and go “rush hour” traffic
Refer to the “INFINITI Service and Mainte-
nance Guide” for the maintenance schedule.
AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioner system of your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-
134a and the lubricant INFINITI A/C System
Oil Type S or the exact equivalents.
