Questions About 1998 Infiniti Q45’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Infiniti? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Q45 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Q45's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Infiniti Q45 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.
