When to Change 1998 Infiniti Q45 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1998 Infiniti Q45? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires.

Infiniti recommends having your 1998 Infiniti Q45’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Q45 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Infiniti if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Infiniti Q45. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1998 Infiniti Q45 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Infiniti Q45 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Infiniti Q45 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Infiniti Q45 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Infiniti exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Infiniti Q45 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Infiniti Q45 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Infiniti Q45 oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Infiniti Q45 could be triggered by an overdue oil change.

  • Do I need to replace my Q45’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Infiniti Q45 every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
