INFINITI QX60 Oil Type
INFINITI is one of the world’s top luxury automakers and with good reasons. INFINITI models, like the exceptional QX60 SUV, are precision-engineered to perform exceedingly well on Tallahassee and Pensacola roads while giving you all of the luxury accouterments you deserve.
What is the recommended INFINITI QX60 oil type? For peak performance no matter where you drive, the manufacturer and our team recommend genuine Nissan SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil for the 2023 model year. Older model years, going back to 2014 might require genuine Nissan SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil. We highly suggest the Nissan-specific brand of motor oil because it’s specially formulated for the automaker’s engines (INFINITI is the luxury marque of Nissan). It’s also important that you not sway from full synthetic oil because it will keep your pistons moving properly while you own your SUV. We cannot stress this enough.
The service team at INFINITI of Tallahassee has more information on the INFINITI QX60 oil type with our guide. Keep reading to get all the details!
Why Use Full Synthetic for the INFINITI QX60 Oil Type?
This is the standard for many newer, later-model INFINITI QX60 models. However, older model years may have different oil types. It’s always best to check your owner’s manual or vehicle information screen to see what oil your exact model, trim, and year requires.
Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil for Your QX60: What’s the Difference?
The best INFINITI QX60 oil type for your SUV is full synthetic, but what exactly does this mean? Synthetic and conventional (regular) oils look the same and you can’t tell them apart. But there are significant differences between the two types. They’re both petroleum-based and come from crude petroleum mined from under the Earth’s surface. But synthetic oil has undergone further chemical refinement to make it as effective and long-lasting as possible.
Conventional Oil
- Used in automotive vehicles for a long time
- Designed to lubricate internal combustion engines
- Lower price than synthetic oil but shorter oil change intervals
Synthetic Oil
- Treated to become more stable and last longer than conventional oil
- Some synthetic oils have additional additives for a cleaner engine
- Higher price than conventional oil but can go longer in between oil changes
You’ll actually save money with full synthetic INFINITI QX60 oil because you head to our Tallahassee service center fewer times per year. In fact, a synthetic oil change every nine months to a year would equal up to three conventional oil changes in the same timeframe! If, for example, the INFINITI oil change cost for full synthetic comes to $110, while a conventional oil change is $70 (times three versus just one synthetic oil change), you would save $100 in that span!
When Should You Change Your INFINITI QX60 Oil?
As stated, synthetic oil lasts longer than conventional oil, so you won’t be coming in for an INFINITI QX60 oil change in Tallahassee quite as often. Although exact service intervals vary, you’ll bring your SUV in every 10,000 miles and every nine months to a year for an INFINITI QX60 oil change. You can check your owner’s manual for more specific service intervals, or you can contact our service center and we’ll let you know! Your SUV’s oil life monitor system will let you know when it’s time to bring your precision-engineered INFINITI in for an oil change.
