INFINITI QX80 Maintenance Schedule

At Ed Hicks INFINITI in Corpus Christi, TX, we understand the importance of maintaining your luxury SUV to keep it running smoothly and safely. The INFINITI QX80 is engineered for reliability and performance, but like any vehicle, it requires routine care. Following the recommended maintenance schedule helps protect your investment and promotes peak performance for years to come.

Here’s your complete guide to the INFINITI QX80 maintenance schedule, tailored to meet the needs of your SUV and keep you confident on every drive.

INFINITI QX80 Service Intervals

Every 7,500 Miles or 6 Months

Your first service appointment is straightforward but vital to maintaining your QX80:

• Replace engine oil and filter.  For most model years, INFINITI advises using SAE 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil. The engine’s oil capacity is approximately 6.9 quarts (6.5 liters) when including the oil filter. 
• Rotate tires

This basic service helps maintain smooth performance and prepares your vehicle for the next milestone.

Every 15,000 Miles or 12 Months

In addition to the 7,500-mile tasks, this interval includes important inspections to ensure your vehicle’s safety and reliability:

• Inspect brake lines, pads, rotors, and cables
• Inspect differential gear oil
• Check propeller shaft and transfer case oil (4WD models)
• Inspect drive shaft boots (4WD models)
• Replace in-cabin microfilter

For 4WD models, the propeller shaft will also be lubricated to keep your drivetrain in top condition.

Every 30,000 Miles or 2 Years

This service interval builds on the previous tasks and includes additional maintenance to ensure optimal performance:

• Inspect fuel tank vapor vent system hoses
• Inspect fuel lines and connections
• Inspect exhaust system
• Inspect steering gear, linkage, axle, and suspension parts
• Replace brake fluid
• Replace engine air filter

If you frequently drive in dusty conditions, more frequent air filter replacements may be necessary.

Every 45,000 Miles or 3 Years

This interval requires replacement of key components:

• Replace engine oil and filter
• Replace in-cabin microfilter
• Replace Intelligent Key battery

These updates ensure your QX80 remains comfortable and fully functional.

Every 105,000 Miles or 7 Years

This milestone includes significant updates to keep your vehicle running like new:

• Replace engine coolant (subsequent replacements every 75,000 miles or 5 years)
• Replace spark plugs
• Inspect engine drive belts

Why Follow the Maintenance Schedule?

Adhering to the INFINITI QX80 maintenance schedule offers several key benefits:

• Improved Longevity: Routine care helps avoid costly repairs and keeps your SUV running longer.
• Enhanced Performance: Regular maintenance ensures peak efficiency and reliability.
• Safety: Properly maintained brakes, tires, and systems ensure a safer drive.

Check for INFINITI QX80 Recalls

When you bring your INFINITI QX80 in for maintenance, it’s also a great time to check for open recalls, especially if you purchased a pre-owned QX80 from a private party. As of December 2, 2024, there are several recalls affecting various model years of the INFINITI QX80. Notable recalls include:

• 2024-2025 Models: A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. INFINITI will address this issue through an over-the-air software update or by reprogramming the Around View Monitor (AVM) software at dealerships.
• 2020-2021 Models: The fuel pump impeller can swell and bind within the fuel pump module, leading to potential engine stalling. Affected vehicles will have the fuel pump module replaced free of charge.
• 2018-2019 Models: The backup camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rearview image is no longer visible, failing to comply with safety standards. Dealers will update the backup camera settings software to rectify this issue.
• 2014-2015 Models: The fuel pressure sensors may not have been sufficiently tightened during production, potentially causing a fuel leak. Dealers will re-torque the fuel pressure sensors to the correct specifications. 

Staying informed about recalls and addressing them promptly is crucial for maintaining the safety and performance of your INFINITI QX80. Check for open recalls on your INFINITI today.
