Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2006 Infiniti M45? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2006 M45’s oil should be changed according to Infiniti’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Infiniti-recommended oil change intervals, your M45 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Infiniti M45. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
