How Often to Change 2004 Infiniti FX45 Oil

Need more info about 2004 Infiniti FX45 oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Infiniti recommends changing your 2004 FX45’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Infiniti-recommended oil change intervals, your FX45 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Infiniti if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Infiniti FX45. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Infiniti has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 2004 FX45.

During an oil change, one of our techs will change your FX45’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your FX45 by taking into account your driving habits, weather and road conditions,

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2004 Infiniti FX45

  • Should I check my Infiniti FX45 motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your FX45’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Infiniti oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Infiniti FX45 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Infiniti FX45 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Infiniti FX45 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Infiniti FX45 oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Infiniti FX45 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my FX45’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Infiniti FX45 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
