| NOTE: (1) After 40, 000 miles (64, 000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 10, 000 miles (16, 000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found damaged. (2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required. (3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to the FUEL SYSTEM . (4) First replacement interval is 105, 000 miles (168, 000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75, 000 miles (120, 000 km) or 60 months. (5) Use only Genuine NISSAN long life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life expectancy of the factory fill coolant. (6) Replace spark plug when the plug gap exceeds 1.35 mm (0.053 in) even if within specified periodic replacement mileage. (7) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance. (8) Maintenance items and intervals with "*" are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are required. |

MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS
The maintenance intervals shown in the preceding information are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be performed on the following items as shown in the table.
Severe driving 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 a car-top carrier.
| Maintenance operation: Inspect = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary. |

FOR MEXICO: Periodic Maintenance
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent maintenance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

- Visually check for any clutch fluid leakage around the reservoir tank.
- Check the clutch system for any leakage if the fluid level is extremely low (lower than MIN).
FLUID LEAKAGE
Check transfer surrounding area (oil seal, drain plug, and filler plug etc.) for fluid leakage.
Scheme 75
- Remove filler plug (1) and gasket. Then check that fluid is filled up from mounting hole for the filler plug. CAUTION: Never start engine while checking fluid level.
- Set a new gasket onto filler plug, and install it on transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to " «EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-660647-S12093460052014100600000) ". CAUTION: Never reuse gasket.
Scheme 76
Scheme 76: TRANSFER FLUID: Draining
- Run the vehicle to warm up the transfer unit sufficiently.
- Stop the engine, and remove the drain plug (1) to drain the transfer fluid.
- Set a new gasket onto the drain plug, and install it on the transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to " «EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-660647-S12093460052014100600000) ". CAUTION: Never reuse gasket.
TRANSFER FLUID: Refilling
