fer)/oil at every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months. Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine Nissan Matic J
ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmis-
sion, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.
