Can Infiniti service save me money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are signs my Infiniti drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Infiniti QX56, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Infiniti QX56 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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 QX56?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your QX56’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my QX56 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 QX56'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 QX56.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my QX56 serious?

If your QX56 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my QX56 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your QX56’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your QX56 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
