How Often to Get 2010 Infiniti QX56 Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2010 Infiniti QX56? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Infiniti recommends having your 2010 Infiniti QX56’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Infiniti-recommended oil change intervals, your QX56 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Infiniti recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Infiniti QX56. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your QX56’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2010 Infiniti QX56

  • What can low oil do to my Infiniti QX56 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Infiniti QX56 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Infiniti oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Infiniti QX56 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Infiniti QX56 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Infiniti QX56 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Infiniti QX56 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Infiniti QX56 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to change my QX56's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Infiniti QX56 every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
