Can Infiniti drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

What are signs my Infiniti drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Infiniti I30? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Infiniti I30 differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is my I30 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your I30 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can my I30 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your I30's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your I30.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my I30?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your I30, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my I30’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your I30’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your I30 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

1998 Infiniti I30 Drivetrain Service

Your I30 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your I30’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1998 Infiniti I30 to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Infiniti's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
