Can Infiniti service save me money?

How do I know if my Infiniti drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Infiniti M45, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Infiniti M45 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.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a M45?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your M45’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the M45 check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my M45?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your M45. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your M45.

Does my M45 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your M45 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your M45 forward.

Follow Infiniti's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
