Can Infiniti drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

How do I know if 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.

When should I come in for Infiniti QX56 differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What causes a QX56’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

A multitude of problems can activate your QX56’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the QX56 check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is my QX56’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your QX56. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

All About 2009 Infiniti QX56 Drivetrain Service

Your QX56’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Infiniti, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Infiniti QX56, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Infiniti's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Infiniti QX56 Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2009 Infiniti QX56 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Infiniti QX56 may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Infiniti QX56 drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2009 Infiniti QX56? Again, it depends!
