What happens if I "ride" my Infiniti's brakes?

Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.

What can I tow in a Infiniti?

Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your M45 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

How often does my M45 transmission fluid need to be checked?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2008 M45’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Infiniti. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.

Can my Infiniti M45 leak transmission fluid?

Yes, your Infiniti M45 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your M45 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
