Why check the motor oil level in my Infiniti Q45?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Q45’s 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 oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Infiniti Q45 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
