Refer to the Repair Flow Chart above to determine the steps needed for this vehicle.

INITIAL ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK

^ This step should be performed only if you do not have verified Infiniti service history information indicating the vehicle mileage at the last oil change.

^ Go to step 12 (oil level check after 1,000-3750 miles) if you do have verified vehicle mileage information at the last oil change.

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.

2. Make sure the engine has been OFF for more than 10 minutes.

^ This allows the engine oil to drain back into the engine pan.

^ Engine OFF for 30 minutes or more is ideal.

3. Remove the oil dip stick and wipe it clean.
