What does the coolant light on my Infiniti dashboard mean?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

What are the puddles in my driveway or garage floor?

It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.

Do Infiniti QX56 radiators need to be cleaned?

It could be a good idea to have your Infiniti QX56 radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

My QX56 overheated! What can cause that?

If your Infiniti QX56 engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.

Why does the radiator in my QX56 sound like it’s rumbling or boiling?

Air pockets in your QX56’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.

Should I be concerned about rust in my QX56 radiator?

Yes. Rust in the radiator of your Infiniti QX56 can impair its cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even result in complete failure of the radiator. Over time, rust can eat away at the radiator's cooling passages, forming tiny holes or cracks that can affect its operation. To help prevent rust from causing damage, you should stay on top of radiator maintenance.
