Checking Transmission Fluid Level

It’s important to check the transmission fluid level regularly to ensure it’s at the proper level. Here are the steps to check the transmission fluid level:

  1. Park your Q60 on a level surface.
  2. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the fluid to settle.
  3. Locate the transmission fluid dipstick. It’s usually near the rear of the engine compartment.
  4. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a clean rag.
  5. Reinsert the dipstick all the way into the transmission.
  6. Pull out the dipstick again and check the fluid level. It should be between the “Full” and “Add” marks on the dipstick.

Changing Transmission Fluid

The transmission fluid in your Infiniti Q60 should be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, or as specified in your owner’s manual. Here are the steps to change the transmission fluid:

  1. Park your Q60 on a level surface.
  2. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the fluid to settle.
  3. Locate the transmission fluid drain plug. It’s usually located on the bottom of the transmission.
  4. Place a drain pan under the drain plug.
  5. Loosen the drain plug and allow the fluid to drain out.
  6. Once all the fluid has drained out, tighten the drain plug.
  7. Locate the transmission fluid fill plug. It’s usually located on the side of the transmission.
  8. Remove the fill plug and add new transmission fluid using a funnel.
  9. Check the transmission fluid level using the dipstick and add more fluid as needed.

Conclusion

Maintaining the transmission fluid in your Infiniti Q60 is essential for ensuring its longevity and performance. By regularly checking and changing the transmission fluid, you can help keep your Q60 running smoothly for years to come.
