How To Read Tire Wear
Help!!!! :confuse:
The manual states not to put synthetic oil in it.
Any suggestions?
Alternatively, I could run without TPMS sensors in the winter and deal with the warning light. In the spring when I reinstall the summer tires and original sensors, will the car re-recognize the sensors and clear the tire pressure warning. My dealer is again saying that since a pressure warning will have existed for more than 100 miles, it will be identified as a hard fault and require dealer action to clear. So even without sensors I’m looking at ½ hr of dealer labor every spring when the snow tires come off.
I’m hoping that someone has actually experience running winter with or without sensors and can provide comments or advice.
Thanks in advance for any help. Both winter wheel and sensors are expensive and I’m hoping to make the best and more informed decision before spending the money.

The TPMS light does NOT come on when I have the winter tires on. It goes back to normal in the spring when I put the summer tires back on. I have not needed any adjustments from the dealer. I chose not to spend the $200 for a second set of sensors.
"2 YR PREPAID INFINITI MAINTENANCE PLAN (OR 30,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST) FOR ONLY $19.95"
I did some research and learned that this is the Elite 2 plan which I guess only covers every 7500 miles.
I also found this:

can anyone confirm this and offer pricing? what is the difference between Elite 1 and Elite 2, Deluxe 1 and 2, and Essential 1 and 2?
I am leasing on a 12k/39 mo term (plan to turn in at 36 mo)...
All responses appreciated...
Did you get it fixed and if so what should I expect the $ damage to be?
Thanks.
This forum has been pretty helpful to me...I used it when I was shopping for a G35 coupe.
Too bad I couldn't wait a year...some great deals in this economy.
Anyways...any help is much appreciated.
When I go less than 35-40 mph, there is a slight rattling sound near the glove compartment.
But what's worse is this much more audible shaking sound from the back...sort of like something small in a metal jar. I thought it was something in the trunk causing that sound, but after clearing it, still a shaking sound.
It's driving me CRAZYYYYY. I guess I'm extra-worried cuz it's a 35k car, and I don't have another 35k lying around.
Sorry for the dumb questions - has anyone experienced these sounds? Rusty joint? I hope it's nothing serious.
I read one study conducted on a couple hundred freshly rebuilt NYC taxicabs. Every concievable name brand of synthetic and conventional motor oil was used. Recommended viscosities. Recommended change intervals versus extended change intervals (with filters, of course). Some using oil additives and some not.
Conclusion.....not a lick of practical and functional difference in engine wear despite all of the hype and the wonderful oil company marketing campaigns to the contrary. Today's conventional motor oils are far superior to what our fathers and grandfathers had at their disposal to use.
With one caveat.....the test concluded that the NYC taxicabs did not undergo extreme low temperature challenges to motor oils because they generally didn't sit with the engine off long enough during the winter months to validate that challenge; and the assumption was synthetics would be superior because they don't congeal in extreme cold temperatures, flow remains the same regardless of temperature.
I read elsewhere that one would be better off spending their money on superior oil filters and filtration systems instead.
I'm not trying to be argumentative here. I just want facts.

The dealership said they were going to give me a call the next day. I get a call 11:30AM the next day informing me that my car was no longer in the lot. I was even asked if I had come back to the dealership that same night to pick up my car with my spare (So I'm the victim here and I get accused of taking my car). They "discovered" the car missing AM and it took them 4 hours to contact me. I immediately head over to the dealership to file a police report. They have no clue as to what happened. No internal investigation was done. No camera footage was available. Basically considered the whole matter as between me and my insurance. They were very passive and had poor customer service. I love Infiniti and if you car about your's, I highly suggest don't bring it in to Frontier Infiniti on Stevens Creek (San Jose, CA).
Sounds like an inside job with an employee and or employee associate. This dealership should be 'outed'. They lose keys often? I hope the police gave you some respect at least. Good luck with your new car and my best to you.
The most effective way for you to tell others about this is to post in our Dealer Ratings & Reviews section. Give it a look.
Good luck to you.
First, I believe your insurance is primary even if the car was stolen off a private lot (the dealership). You may be unpleasantly surprised how low a value your insurance company places on your stolen vehicle. That's a negative economic impact on you when your insurance company settles with you.
Second, I'm from MA, and this is a no fault state. My carrier pays me off and allegedly goes after the culpable party if there is one to go after. Your carrier may assess some premium increase to you as a result of this escapade. Because of the size of the loss, they may pay off your claim (you) and then surprise you at policy renewal time with a refusal to renew you.
It's not necessarily as easy or as clean as it may appear right now.
The vehicle can be replaced. I'd be concerned what this is going to cost out of your pocket to replace the vehicle and what your insurance implications are going forward. Finally, remember that when you go out to finance that new replacement vehicle, the finance rates may not be as favorable as the ones you had on your stolen vehicle.
As the other poster said, this may not simply be a case of benign negligence on the part of the dealership or one of their employees where they moved the car and left the keys in it. It may be a matter of collusion as the poster pointed out. And I for one wouldn't want to be bearing the the financial or insurance burden of their negligence, benign or not.
Good luck!
Thanks

The dealership is telling us that they have issues with replacements and use a Honda air dam when replacing the G35 windshield to prevent the issue. Infiniti refuses to stand behind their product because we had installation accomplished by a third party (whom has satisfactorily replaced two on our Mercedes SUV and another on a Range Rover we owned) – even though there is no Service Bulletin on this issue and the dealership has admitted that it's an issue.
Has anyone else had to deal with this?
Thanks
Thanks
I have 6000 miles on mine and in the last week I have a HUGE Squeak in the dash...Can anyone tell me if they are having the same problem.IT sounds like it is coming from the MIDDLE of the dash..THe last vehicle I had that had a squeak was a ford and I finally had to take a hit and trade it in as they couldn't fix it...Here we spend alot of money thinking I won't have these issues...I don't have confidence in these dealerships so any insight from you would be greatly appreciated..
I have a 2008 G35X and for some reason the windows (Driver and passenger - didn't tried the ones in the back) do not go up automatically. I tired to look it up in the manual but couldn't find anything. They will go down automatically though.
Will appreciate any help i can get in getting this to work.
Thanks.
I just got the car, and 3 weeks ago, the Infiniti dealer replaced the front left wheel bearing under warranty, as well as the compression rods. I was only driving the car for 5 days before that, so I'm not sure if it was there before the dealer worked on it.
I've felt this before on some 4x4 vehicles when turning, but I thought that the G35x didn't throw power to the front wheels unless necessary, so I didn't know that the hubs would engage without reason.
Anyone have any experience with this? Any reply's would be appreciated.
Has anyone talked to their dealer about this? I inquired last week and haven't heard back. Thanks.
I took a lexus loaner and then I get a surprising call from service telling me that they could NOT fix the problem, they struggled with felt tape, etc. but could still hear the sound so they are ordering me a new cluster..wow. The bigger surprise is when I picked it up yesterday afternoon and until this moment, I hear NO sound. Like taking it apart and putting it back together fixed it (temporarily maybe), though the service guy said that they could not eliminate the noise and they are ordering a new cluster.
I will not stop them from ordering one, for I have a feeling this damn noise will come back to haunt me soon!
does anyone have any ideas? i cringe at the thought of the costs for electrical problems.
If this is all too much to deal with, maybe you can just disconnect the fuel level light bulb and forget about it, as long as your gauge is working. Then, when/if your fuel pump gives out, you can replace the whole mechanism all at once.
