2023 Infiniti QX60 Maintenance Schedule
Maintenance is an important part of keeping the 2023 Infiniti QX60 running well, lasting a long time, and keeping you safe. As part of their commitment to making cars that are both elegant and sophisticated and also reliable and useful, Infiniti has a strict repair schedule. The QX60 gets oil changes, filter replacements, brake inspections, and tire rotations as part of its regular maintenance. Each of these tasks is carefully carried out to keep the car running smoothly. Inspections of the car’s important parts, like the engine, transmission, and suspension, on a regular basis help find and fix any problems before they get worse, making driving smooth and trouble-free. Also, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s suggested maintenance plan. This will keep the QX60 in great shape and up to standards for performance, safety, and looks, showing that Infiniti is committed to giving owners a great experience.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
To help ensure smooth, safe and economical driving, INFINITI provides two maintenance schedules that may be used, depending upon the conditions in which you usually drive. These schedules contain both distance and time intervals, up to 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144 months. For most people, the odometer reading will indicate when service is needed. However, if you drive very little, your vehicle should be serviced at the regular time intervals shown in the schedule.
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144 months, continue maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.
ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS FOR SEVERE OPERATING CONDITIONS
Additional maintenance items for severe operating conditions should be performed on vehicles that are driven under especially demanding conditions. Additional maintenance items should be performed if you primarily operate your vehicle under the following conditions:
- Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
- Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures remaining below freezing.
- Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
- Extensive idling and/or low-speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
- Driving in dusty conditions.
- Driving on rough, muddy or salt-spread roads.
- Towing a trailer, using a camper or using a car-top carrier.
If your vehicle is mainly operated under severe conditions, follow the severe use maintenance intervals shown in the maintenance schedule.
OIL CONTROL SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with oil control system. It calculates engine oil and filter change intervals based on driving conditions. Driving in the following severe conditions will shorten the engine oil and filter change interval.
