*1: For further details, see “Engine Oil Recommendation”.

*2: Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and
automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the INFINITI new
vehicle limited warranty.

*3: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0

°

C (32

°

F).    

*4: Canada NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid or DEXRON™ VI type ATF may also be used.

*5: Available in mainland U.S.A. through your INFINITI dealer.

*6: The fluid capacity is the reference value. Check the fluid level with A/T fluid level gauge.

Engine Oil Recommendation

INFOID:0000000001679218

NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubri-
cant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.

Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio

INFOID:0000000001679219

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round, anti-freeze coolant solution. The anti-freeze solution
contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling
system additives are not necessary.

CAUTION:

When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant or equivalent with the
proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized
water/distilled water.
Other types of coolant solutions may damage your cooling sys-
tem.
