What kind of oil does a 2003 Infiniti G35 need?

To get the best performance out of your car, it's recommended you use the type of engine oil recommended by your car manufacturer. There are many different options on the market and going with the recommendation of Infiniti is a safe bet.

For the 2003 Infiniti G35, the owner's manual recommends Genuine Infiniti 5W-30 Motor Oil. Synthetic oils are manufactured products that last longer and enhance your engine’s performance. The oil type numbers indicate the oil's viscosity (thickness). The first number, 5, is the thickness in cold temperatures (the W stands for winter), while the 30 is the viscosity at normal operating temperatures.

Some car owners veer away from the manufacturer's recommendations for one reason or another. Keep in mind, that if engine trouble arises from using a different oil viscosity, it will void your warranty.

How often to change oil on a 2003 Infiniti G35

Synthetic motor oil allows greater gaps between oil changes, with many motor oils promising intervals of 7,5000, 10,000, or even 15,000 between oil changes.

However, for the 2003 Infiniti G35, Infiniti recommends an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. This interval will keep your oil clean and your vehicle operating at peak conditions.

How to change your oil and oil filter

You now have all the information you need to

change your oil

yourself. DIY oil changes are very doable and can be completed from start to finish in under 45 minutes.

First, make sure you’ve got the proper equipment. You’ll need a socket wrench, drain pan, new filter, and bottle of your chosen engine oil.

Run the car for a few minutes to get it up to regular operating temperature. Then shut off the car, pop the hood, and get to work:

Remove the oil fill cap

Get under the engine and remove the oil drain bolt and washer

The old oil will begin to drain into the drain pan

Replace the old oil filter with the new filter

Once your old oil is drained, replace the oil drain bolt with a new washer

Refill the engine with your new oil and replace the fill cap

After changing your oil, it’s a good idea to turn on your car and let your engine run for about 30 seconds before you check the oil level. This will give you a more accurate measurement, and you’ll be able to top it off if necessary.

The final step is to dispose of your engine oil properly. Place it in a sealable container and bring it to your local recycling center. Do not dump it in the sewer, street drains, or regular garbage cans.

Don’t forget regular insurance policy maintenance

Oil changes are one of the many important aspects of car ownership and upkeep. Another is finding a strong enough car insurance policy to protect your Infiniti from anything the road might throw at it.
