At your INFINITI dealership, we offer the complete range of services for your vehicle. Regular servicing reduces repair costs, as worn parts are replaced before they fail, and your car can work as efficiently as it’s designed to. We want to tell you about some of the services we provide.
3 Examples of Essential Services Available at Your INFINITI Dealership
Transmission Fluid Replacement
Transmission fluid is used by the transmission to provide the hydraulic power that shifts the gears. It’s pumped through the transmission, cooling the hot components as it moves. The fluid also protects numerous components against unnecessary wear and tear by covering them in a friction-resistant coating. This fluid does age and needs regular replacement to keep the transmission working efficiently.
The fluid is usually replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, and the correct replacement time for your INFINITI is listed in your vehicle handbook. Older fluid provides less hydraulic power, leading to shifting delays and other issues. It also offers less friction protection, and transmission components will wear out faster. We fix this issue by draining and replacing the fluid and installing a new transmission filter.
Tire Balancing
A tire is correctly balanced when its center of gravity is around the tire bead, the section where it fits onto the rim. This balance is correct when your vehicle is new, but as time passes, a tire can become unbalanced. Poorly balanced tires suffer increased friction damage and increase fuel consumption as they provide more resistance against the surface. They also reduce braking speed and efficiency.
Tire balancing is quick and inexpensive. We fit each tire to our computerized balancing machine, which spins the tire at speed to simulate driving. The machine’s sensors determine the load and pressure on the tire’s sections as it spins. Our technicians then add small weights to correct any imbalances. For the best results, tire balancing should be performed every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.
Oil Change
Oil continuously circulates through the engine and lubricates countless components. Lubrication is important, as many engine components depend on friction to work efficiently, and the oil allows them to glide rather than grind against each other. Oil also contains additives that prevent rust, break down potentially damaging engine deposits, and keep the engine clean.
An INFINITI uses fully synthetic oil, which has a longer lifespan than regular oil and works more efficiently. It usually needs replacement every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, as older oil becomes thick and sluggish. Older oil increases wear and tear on engine components and can cause long-term engine damage. Our technicians will drain and replace the old oil and fit a new oil filter so the oil can flow easily.
