(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(5) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

NOTE:
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every        
     30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months. 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.
(2) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “General maintenance” heading earlier in this section.
