INFINITI FX, S50 / S51 (USA)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

INFINITI FX, S50 / S51 (USA) models utilize brake fluid with a capacity range defined by minimum and maximum levels. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
FX50, S51 (2009-2013)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
FX35, S51 (2008-2013)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
FX35 AWD, S51 (2008-2013)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.

Additional Notes

  • The INFINITI FX S51 brake fluid specification applies across three configurations: the FX35 AWD, the FX35 rear-wheel drive, and the FX50, covering model years 2008-2013 for the FX35 variants and 2009-2013 for the FX50.
  • All three configurations reference the hydraulic brake system, meaning the fluid level specification pertains to the brake master cylinder reservoir rather than a sealed or dry-fill service quantity.
  • The fluid level specification of "between min and max" defines an acceptable operating range within the reservoir, rather than a precise volume measured in liters or quarts, which is characteristic of brake fluid service checks as opposed to full system overhaul fills.
  • The FX50 shares the same "between min and max" reservoir level specification as both FX35 variants despite housing a larger displacement engine, indicating no differentiation in brake fluid reservoir capacity between the V6 and V8 configurations within the S51 generation.
