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 they can have their INFINITI dealers do them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
ItemReference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station,
including the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check
carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.Ð
Wheel nutsWhen checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary.Ð
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles). MA-24
Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle pulls 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.MA-24, SU-6, ªFront
Wheel Alignmentº
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. Ð
Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the
trunk lid and back hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubri-
cate if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from
opening when the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check
lubrication frequently.MA-27
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.
ItemReference page
LampsMake 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.Ð
Warning lamps and
buzzers/chimesMake sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating properly. Ð
Windshield wiper
and washerCheck that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do
not streak.Ð
Windshield defrosterCheck that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioning.Ð
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play. Be sure to check for changes in the
steering condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)Ð
SeatsCheck 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.Ð
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters
and retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-28, RS-7, ªSeat Belt
Inspectionº
BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. Ð

Changing Engine OilNBMA0015WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
IProlonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Stop engine and wait for more than 10 minutes.
3. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
4. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.
Oil specification and viscosity
IAPI grade SG or SH, Energy ConservingI&IIorAPIgrade
SJ, Energy Conserving
IAPI Certification Mark
IILSAC grade GF-I & GF-II
ISee ªRECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTSº, MA-11.
Oil capacity (Approximately):
Unit:(US qt, Imp qt)
Drain and refillWith oil filter change 5.0 (5-1/4, 4-3/8)
Without oil filter change 4.8 (5-1/8, 4-1/4)
Dry engine (engine overhaul) 6.8 (7-1/4, 6)
CAUTION:
IBe sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
Oil pan drain plug:
: 29 - 39 N´m (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
IThe refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and
drain time. Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper
amount of oil is in the engine.
JMA122D
5. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil fil-
ter for oil leakage.
6. Stop engine and wait for more than 10 minutes.
7. Check oil level.
SMA097D
Changing Oil FilterNBMA00161. Remove oil filter with Tool.
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and engine oil
are hot.
The filter is a full-flow cartridge type and is provided with a relief
valve.
Refer to LC-7, ªOil Filterº.

: 20 - 29 N´m (2.0 - 3.0 kg-m, 14 - 22 ft-lb)
Use standard type spark plug for normal condition.
The hot type spark plug is suitable when fouling may occur with the
standard type spark plug such as:
Ifrequent engine starts
Ilow ambient temperatures
The cold type spark plug is suitable when spark knock may occur
with the standard type spark plug such as:
Iextended highway driving
Ifrequent high engine revolution
SMA773C
IDo not use a wire brush for cleaning.
IIf plug tip is covered with carbon, spark plug cleaner may
be used.
Cleaner air pressure:
Less than 588 kPa (6 kg/cm
2, 85 psi)
Cleaning time:
Less than 20 seconds
SMA806C
IChecking and adjusting plug gap is not required between
change intervals.
SMA099D
Checking EVAP Vapor LinesNBMA00181. Visually inspect EVAP vapor lines for improper attachment,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
2. Inspect vacuum relief valve of fuel tank filler cap for clogging,
sticking, etc.
Refer to EC-32, ªEVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEMº.

15. Apply multi-purpose grease to cavity at sealing lips of oil seal.
Install side oil seal.
Tool number: KV38100200 (J26233)
SPD513
16. Measure ring gear to drive pinion backlash with a dial indica-
tor.
Ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash:
0.10 - 0.15 mm (0.0039 - 0.0059 in)
IIf backlash is too small, decrease thickness of right shim and
increase thickness of left shim by the same amount.
If backlash is too great, reverse the above procedure.
Never change the total amount of shims as it will change the
bearing preload.
SPD664
17. Check total preload with Tool.
When checking preload, turn drive pinion in both direc-
tions several times to set bearing rollers.
Tool number: ST3127S000 (J25765-A)
Total preload:
P
1+ [0.3 - 1.5 N´m (3 - 15 kg-cm, 2.6 - 13.0 in-lb)]
P
1: Drive pinion preload
SPD561
IIf preload is too great, remove the same amount of shim from
each side.
IIf preload is too small, add the same amount of shim to each
side.
Never add or remove a different number of shims for each side
as it will change ring gear to drive pinion backlash.
18. Recheck ring gear to drive pinion backlash because increase
or decrease in thickness of shims will cause change of ring
gear-to-pinion backlash.
SPD524
19. Check runout of ring gear with a dial indicator.
Runout limit:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
IIf backlash varies excessively in different places, the variance
may have resulted from foreign matter caught between the ring
gear and the differential case.
IIf the backlash varies greatly when the runout of the ring gear
is within a specified range, the hypoid gear set or differential
case should be replaced.
20. Check tooth contact. Refer to ªTOOTH CONTACTº, PD-29.
21. Install rear cover and gasket.
