2002 Infiniti Q45 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Infiniti's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Infiniti Q45? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Q45’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Q45 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Q45 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2002 Q45’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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.
  • Can my Infiniti Q45 leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Infiniti Q45 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Q45 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

  • Can I still drive my Infiniti Q45 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Q45 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
