low oil pressure INFINITI QX60 2023 User Guide

• Keep your engine tuned up.
• Follow the recommended scheduledmaintenance.
• Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres- sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
• Keep all the wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil. For additional information, see “Engine oil
and oil filter recommendations” (P. 10-6).
If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent
AWD system while the engine is running,
messages are displayed in the meter.
If the AWD error warning message is dis-
played, there may be a malfunction in the
Intelligent AWD system. Reduce vehicle
speed and have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service. The AWD high temperature message may be
displayed when the oil temperature of the
powertrain parts increases due to the differ-
ence in rotation between the front and rear
wheels is large (wheel slip), such as when
driving on rough roads, driving through sand
or mud, or feeling a stuck vehicle. If this
warning is displayed, stop the vehicle with the
engine idling, as soon as it is safe to do so. In
these cases, the AWD changes to 2WD to
protect the powertrain parts. Then if the
warning turns off, you can continue AWD
driving.

4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tiretouches the ground. Then, with the wheel
nut wrench, tighten the wheel nuts se-
curely in the sequence illustrated (
OA,OB,
OC,OD,OE). Lower the vehicle completely.
WARNING
• Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tight-
ened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to
become loose or come off. This could
cause an accident.
• Do not use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts
to become loose.
• Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve-
hicle has been driven for 621 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 83 ft-lb (113 N·m) The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recommended
that wheel nuts be tightened to specifica-
tions at each lubrication interval.
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure: After vehicle has been
parked for 3 hours or more or driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label affixed to the
driver side center pillar.
5. Securely store the flat tire, tools and jack-
ing equipment in the vehicle.
6. Close the liftgate.
WARNING
• Always make sure that the spare tire and
jacking equipment are properly secured
after use. Such items can become dan-
gerous projectiles in an accident or sud-
den stop.
• The spare tire is designed for emergency
use. For additional information, see
“Wheels and tires” (P. 8-28). To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below must
be followed.
WARNING
• If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also dam-
age your vehicle.
• Explosive hydrogen gas is always pres-
ent in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the
battery.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corro-
sive sulfuric acid solution which can
cause severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything, imme-
diately flush the contacted area with
water.
• Keep battery out of the reach of children.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use of an improperly rated battery
can damage your vehicle.

5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle andlet it run for a few minutes.
6. Keep the engine speed of the booster ve- hicle at about 2,000 rpm and start the
engine of the vehicle being jump started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position and wait 3 to 4
seconds before trying again.
7. After starting the engine, carefully discon- nect the negative cable and then the posi-
tive cable.
CAUTION
Automatic transmission models cannot be
push-started. Attempting to do so may
cause transmission damage.WARNING
• Do not continue to drive if your vehicle
overheats. Doing so could cause engine
damage or a vehicle fire.
• To avoid the danger of being scalded,
never remove the radiator or coolant
reservoir cap while the engine is still hot.
When the radiator or coolant reservoir
cap is removed, pressurized hot water
will spurt out, possibly causing serious
injury.
• Do not open the hood if steam is coming
out.
If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by an
extremely high temperature gauge reading
and the Low Oil Pressure: See Owner’s
Manual warning message appears in the ve-
hicle information display), or if you feel a lack
of engine power, detect abnormal noise, etc.
take the following steps:
1. Move the vehicle safely off the road, apply the parking brake.
2. Push the park button to shift to the P (Park) position.
Do not stop the engine.
PUSH STARTING IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS
6-14In case of emergency

When performing any inspection or maintenance
work on your vehicle, always take care to pre-
vent serious accidental injury to yourself or dam-
age to the vehicle. The following are general
precautions which should be closely observed.
WARNING
• Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply
the parking brake securely and block the
wheels to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing. Push the park button to engage the
P (Park) position.
• Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
or LOCK position when performing any
parts replacement or repairs.
• If you must work with the engine run-
ning, keep your hands, clothing, hair and
tools away from moving fans, belts and
any other moving parts.
• It is advisable to secure or remove any
loose clothing and remove any jewelry,
such as rings, watches, etc. before work-
ing on your vehicle.
• Always wear eye protection whenever
you work on your vehicle.
• Your vehicle is equipped with an auto-
matic engine cooling fan. It may come on
at any time without warning, even if the
ignition switch is in the OFF position and the engine is not running. To avoid injury,
always disconnect the negative battery
cable before working near the fan.
• If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases to
escape.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is necessary
to work under the vehicle, support it
with safety stands.
•
Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks
away from the fuel tank and battery.
• Because the fuel lines on gasoline engine
models are under high pressure even
when the engine is off, it is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for ser-
vice of the fuel filter or fuel lines.
CAUTION
• Do not work under the hood while the
engine is hot. Turn the engine off and
wait until it cools down.
• Avoid contact with used engine oil and
coolant. Improperly disposed engine oil,
engine coolant and/or other vehicle flu-
ids can damage the environment. Always
conform to local regulations for disposal
of vehicle fluid. •
Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
• Never connect or disconnect the battery
or any transistorized component while
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
NOTE:
If the battery is completely drained the
transmission will not manually shift to other
positions.
This “Do-it-yourself” section gives instruc-
tions regarding only those items which are
relatively easy for an owner to perform.
A Genuine INFINITI service manual is also
available. For additional information, see
“Owner’s Manual/Service Manual order in-
formation” (P. 10-36).
You should be aware that incomplete or im-
proper servicing may result in operating diffi-
culties or excessive emissions, and could af-
fect warranty coverage. If in doubt about any
servicing, it is recommended that you have it
done by an INFINITI retailer.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION:
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of at
least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Re-
search octane number 96). If unleaded pre-
mium gasoline is not available, you may use
unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rat-
ing of at least 87 AKI number (Research oc-
tane number 91), but you may notice a de-
crease in performance.
CAUTION
• Only vehicles with the E-85 filler door
label can operate on E-85. Fuel system
or other damage can occur if E-85 is used
in vehicles that are not designed to run
on E-85.
• Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission con-
trol system, and may also affect the war-
ranty coverage.
• Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, because this will dam-
age the three-way catalyst. •
Do not use a fuel containing more than
15% ethanol in your vehicle. Your vehicle
is not designed to run on a fuel contain-
ing more than 15% ethanol. Using a fuel
containing more than 15% ethanol in a
vehicle not specifically designed for a
fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
can adversely affect the emission control
devices and systems of the vehicle. Dam-
age caused by such fuel is not covered
by the INFINITI New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
• Do not use fuel that contains the octane
booster methylcyclopentadienyl man-
ganese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using fuel
containing MMT may adversely affect
vehicle performance and vehicle emis-
sions. Not all fuel dispensers are labeled
to indicate MMT content, so you may
have to consult your gasoline retailer for
more details. Note that Federal and
California laws prohibit the use of MMT
in reformulated gasoline.
• U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be identi-
fied by a small, square, orange and black
label with the common abbreviation or
the appropriate percentage for that
region. For additional information, see “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities”
(P. 10-2).
ENGINE OIL
RECOMMENDATION:
See “Recommended fluids/lubricants and ca-
pacities” (P. 10-2).
COLD TIRE PRESSURE:
For additional information, see “Tire and
Loading Information label” (P. 10-12).
The label is typically located on the driver side
center pillar or on the driver's door. For addi-
tional information, see “Wheels and tires”
(P. 8-28).
RECOMMENDED NEW VEHICLE
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE:
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of
vehicle use, follow the break-in procedure
recommendations for the future reliability
and economy of your new vehicle. For addi-
tional information, see “Break-in schedule”
(P. 5-159). Failure to follow these recom-
mendations may result in vehicle damage or
shortened engine life.
