What can low oil do to my Infiniti QX80 engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Infiniti QX80 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Infiniti oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

How Often to Change 2023 Infiniti QX80 Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Infiniti QX80’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2023 QX80’s oil should be changed according to Infiniti’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Infiniti-recommended oil change intervals, your QX80 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Infiniti recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Infiniti QX80. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Infiniti QX80?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2023 Infiniti QX80 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Infiniti has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best oil for 2023 Infiniti QX80 vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your QX80's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your QX80 by taking into account your driving style, and odometer.
