Changing the motor oil in your car at your INFINITI dealership is one of the most routine maintenance tasks you will have to keep track of as a car owner. Motor oil is crucial for preserving the lifespan and performance of your engine, so it’s crucial to keep up with the recommended oil change service schedule outlined in your owner’s manual. 

INFINITI generally recommends motor oil replacement every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. For most drivers, this is equal to twice a year. If you drive in harsh conditions, if the weather is extreme, or if you push the performance of your INFINITI with highway driving or stop-and-go traffic, then you may want to schedule an appointment sooner than 7,500 miles.

The reason you can drive so many miles between changing your motor oil is because of the quality of your INFINITI engine. INFINITI vehicles are engineered for high performance and use high-quality filters, motor oil, and other parts that enhance the overall efficiency of the engine. Ultimately, this means that your engine oil can do a better job of protecting your engine between changes. 

What If You Drive a Hybrid Vehicle?

If you drive a hybrid INFINITI, you should still schedule motor oil replacement every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Although hybrid vehicles rely on partial battery power, they still use an engine that requires fresh oil to optimize performance. Your oil service appointment is also a good chance to check on your hybrid motor. 

What Is the Best Motor Oil to Use?

Most INFINITI vehicles use fully synthetic oil, which is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, reduce corrosion, and provide better lubrication to internal engine parts. INFINITI recommends using premium synthetic brands from Mobil Super, Mobil 1, or genuine INFINITI motor oil. The specific viscosity recommended for your engine can be found in your owner’s manual. 

Ask Your INFINITI Dealership: How Does Express Service Work?

If you want to have your routine maintenance completed in an hour or less, then Express Service is the way to go. This special service appointment prioritizes your car so that you can fit routine maintenance into your busy schedule. Express Service can accomplish maintenance tasks such as motor oil replacement, tire rotation, brake inspection, air filter replacement, wiper blade replacement, and more. 


As part of your Express Service appointment, your vehicle will also receive a complimentary multipoint inspection. This inspection ensures that every crucial component of your vehicle is checked by a certified INFINITI mechanic. The inspection will include an examination of your brake pads, tire tread depth, battery health, and so much more. 


Motor oil is a vital part of your vehicle’s performance. Without routine oil replacement, you might find that your fuel efficiency and performance suffer. Contact Bommarito INFINITI to schedule a service appointment or drop by for a walk-in Express Service appointment today.
