Infiniti G35 Coupe (2007) [291/328] Engine oil and oil filter recommendation

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER

RECOMMENDATION

Selecting the correct oil

It is essential to choose the correct grade,

quality and viscosity engine oil to ensure

satisfactory engine life and performance.

See “Capacities and recommended

fuel/lubricants” earlier in this section.

INFINITI 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) certifi-

cation or International Lubricant Stan-

dardization and Approval Committee (IL-

SAC) certification and SAE viscosity stan-

dard. 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.

Oil additives

INFINITI does not recommend the use of

oil additives. The use of an oil additive is

not necessary when the proper oil type is

used and maintenance intervals are fol-

lowed.

Oil which may contain foreign matter or

has been previously used should not be

used.

Oil viscosity

The engine oil viscosity or thickness

changes with temperature. Because of

this, it is important that the engine oil vis-

cosity be selected based on the tempera-

tures at which the vehicle will be oper-

ated before the next oil change. Choosing

an oil viscosity other than that recom-

mended could cause serious engine dam-

age.
