Can Infiniti drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Infiniti drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Infiniti M56, 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 M56 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a M56?

Is it possible to reset the M56 malfunction warning light on my own?

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 M56'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 M56.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my M56?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your M56, 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 the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my M56?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your M56’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your M56 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
