Your 1990 Q45’s oil should be changed according to Infiniti’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

1990 Infiniti Q45 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Infiniti Q45 motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Infiniti Q45 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Infiniti Q45 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Infiniti Q45 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Infiniti Q45 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Infiniti Q45 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Infiniti Q45 to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Infiniti Q45 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Infiniti Q45? It's recommended that you replace your Infiniti Q45 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
