If you own a vehicle and it's time for an oil change, you should take your car to any of our Passport Auto service centers. Certain vehicles require a specific type of oil, and the service center will use the correct type and amount of oil for your particular model. Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your vehicle. Oil plays a crucial role in keeping your engine running smoothly by lubricating the moving parts, reducing friction and heat, and preventing the buildup of harmful contaminants. Over time, however, oil can become dirty and less effective at performing its essential functions. If not changed regularly, dirty oil can lead to increased engine wear and tear, reduced fuel efficiency, and even engine damage. By getting regular oil changes, you can ensure that your engine stays in top condition and continues to perform at its best. Changing your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles is generally recommended, depending on your driving habits and the type of oil you use. In summary, regular oil changes are an essential part of vehicle maintenance that can help prevent costly engine damage and keep your car running smoothly for years to come.

Smart Rear View Mirror An available Smart Rear View Mirror projects a clear image of what's behind the QX60 on a sharp 9.6-inch display when tall objects obstruct rearward vision. Cleverly located behind the rear glass (and within the wiper path) it stays clean and clear to deliver a view angle of up to 50 degrees. Smart Rear View Mirror may not detect every object and does not eliminate blind spots or warn of moving objects.

The 2023 INFINITI QX60 has once again been recognized for its excellence in safety features by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) with a TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation. QX60 retains its top rating after IIHS strengthened the requirements for its awards this year. Changes to the IIHS rating criteria for 2023 include an updated side-impact test; the addition of a nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test; and a new requirement that "acceptable" or "good"-rated headlights are standard. As a result of the stricter requirements, fewer vehicles overall received 2023 TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards. QX60 provides peace of mind and confidence with a standard suite of safety technologies that includes Forward Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist. In addition, the QX60 offers available, advanced driver-assistance technologies, such as Intelligent Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection, a Smart Rear View Mirror, Driver Attention Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition and ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link. "INFINITI is committed to delivering products that help make our owners' lives safer and more convenient," said Craig Keeys, group vice president, INFINITI Americas.
