EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
The following descriptions are provided
to give you a better understanding of the
scheduled maintenance items that
should be regularly checked or replaced.
The maintenance log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item
requires service.
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Infiniti requires that some items be
checked during normal day-to-day
operation. You can find these items
listed under “General Maintenance” in
Chapter 8 of your Owner’s manual.
Items marked with “*” are recommend-
ed by Infiniti for reliable vehicle opera-
tion. You are not required to perform
maintenance on these items in order to
maintain the warranties which come with
your Infiniti. Other maintenance items
and intervals are required.
When applicable, additional
information can be found in the “Do-it-
yourself” section in Chapter 8 of your
Owner’s Manual.
For recommended fuel, lubricants,
fluids, grease, and refrigerant refer to
Chapter 9 in your Owner’s Manual.
