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 signs my Infiniti drivetrain is damaged?

Your Infiniti Q45 drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often will I need Infiniti Q45 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Q45?

Can my Q45 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 Q45'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 Q45.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Q45?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Q45. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Q45.

Is my Q45’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Q45’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Q45 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
