Oil Maintenance & Service Tips
Follow these best practices for Infiniti Q60 oil maintenance:
- Check oil level every 1,000 miles or monthly. Park on level ground, wait 5 minutes after engine shutdown, then check dipstick
- Change oil filter with every oil change. Never reuse old filters as they contain trapped contaminants
- Use only full synthetic oil meeting API SN or later specifications
- Reset oil change reminder light after service using the vehicle information display
- Inspect oil drain plug washer at each change. Replace if damaged or leaking
- Torque drain plug to 25 lb-ft to prevent overtightening and oil pan damage
Normal vs. Severe Driving Conditions
| Condition Type | Definition | Oil Change Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Highway driving, moderate speeds, clean conditions | 7,500 miles or 12 months |
| Severe | Frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, towing, dusty conditions | 5,000 miles or 6 months |
Severe conditions require more frequent oil changes. Turbocharged models operating in extreme heat benefit from shorter intervals regardless of driving type.
FAQs
What kind of oil does an Infiniti Q60 use?
The Infiniti Q60 uses full synthetic engine oil. Models from 2014-2016 require SAE 5W-30 viscosity. Models from 2017-2022 with the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 require SAE 0W-20, while 2017-2018 2.0L turbo models use SAE 5W-30.
How much oil does an Infiniti Q60 take?
Oil capacity varies by engine. The 3.7L V6 (2014-2016) holds 5.2 quarts with filter. The 2.0L turbo (2017-2018) holds 6.6 quarts with filter. The 3.0L twin-turbo V6 (2016-2022) holds 5.7 quarts with filter. Always verify your specific engine code.
What is the recommended oil type for an Infiniti Q60?
Infiniti recommends full synthetic oil meeting API SN or newer specifications. Use SAE 0W-20 for 3.0L twin-turbo models and SAE 5W-30 for 3.7L V6 and 2.0L turbo models. Avoid conventional or synthetic blend oils in turbocharged engines.
What is the oil change interval for an Infiniti Q60?
The recommended oil change interval is every 7,500 miles or 12 months under normal driving conditions. For severe conditions including frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, or dusty environments, reduce the interval to 5,000 miles or 6 months.
Can I use 5W-30 instead of 0W-20 in my Q60?
Using 5W-30 in 3.0L twin-turbo models specifying 0W-20 is not recommended. The manufacturer specifies 0W-20 for optimal fuel economy and cold-start protection. Using thicker oil may void warranty and reduce efficiency. Stick to the recommended viscosity for your specific engine.
Conclusion
The Infiniti Q60 requires specific oil capacities, viscosities, and types depending on the model year and engine configuration. The 3.7L V6 models (2014-2016) need 5.2 quarts of 5W-30 synthetic oil. The 2.0L turbo models (2017-2018) require 6.6 quarts of 5W-30 synthetic oil. All 3.0L twin-turbo models (2016-2022) use 5.7 quarts of 0W-20 synthetic oil. Using manufacturer-approved full synthetic oil with the correct viscosity ensures proper engine protection, maintains warranty coverage, and preserves performance. Follow the recommended oil change intervals and maintenance practices for reliable operation and extended engine life.
