2012 Infiniti M56 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Infiniti's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Infiniti tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your M56 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your M56 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my M56's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Infiniti M56 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Infiniti, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Infiniti M56? Yes, your Infiniti M56 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your M56 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who can fix my  Infiniti M56 transmission leak? When your M56 transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Should I avoid driving my Infiniti M56 if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your M56 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
