The Infiniti FX50 is a high-performance SUV that offers a thrilling driving experience. To keep your FX50 running smoothly, it’s important to maintain proper transmission fluid levels. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the transmission fluid capacity of the Infiniti FX50 and provide instructions on how to check and change the fluid.

Transmission Fluid Capacity

The Infiniti FX50 has a 7-speed automatic transmission with a capacity of 9.8 quarts of transmission fluid. It is recommended to use Nissan Matic Fluid S or equivalent for the best performance and protection of the transmission.

Checking Transmission Fluid Level

  1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.
  3. Locate the transmission fluid dipstick. On the Infiniti FX50, it is usually located in the engine compartment, near the back of the engine.
  4. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag.
  5. Reinsert the dipstick fully into the transmission.
  6. Pull the dipstick out again and check the fluid level. The fluid should be between the “Full” and “Add” marks on the dipstick.
  7. If the fluid level is low, add enough fluid to bring it up to the “Full” mark.

Changing Transmission Fluid

  1. Gather the necessary tools and materials:
    • 9.8 quarts of Nissan Matic Fluid S or equivalent
    • New transmission filter (if equipped)
    • Drain pan
    • Funnel

    • Rags
  2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
  3. Raise the vehicle with a jack and place it on jack stands.
  4. Locate the transmission drain plug. It is usually located on the bottom of the transmission pan.
  5. Place the drain pan under the drain plug and open the plug with a wrench.
  6. Allow all of the old transmission fluid to drain out.
  7. Replace the drain plug and tighten it securely.
  8. If equipped, replace the transmission filter.
  9. Add 9.8 quarts of new transmission fluid to the transmission using a funnel.
  10. Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes.
  11. Check the transmission fluid level again and adjust as necessary.
  12. Lower the vehicle from the jack stands and test drive it to ensure that the transmission is shifting smoothly.
