Additional Notes

  • The J30 cooling system holds 9.2 liters of coolant, a figure that reflects the total system fill volume including the engine block, cylinder head passages, and radiator combined.
  • A separate 1-liter reservoir capacity is specified for the J30, representing the overflow or expansion tank that accommodates coolant displaced by thermal expansion during engine operation.
  • Under normal use conditions, the INFINITI J, Y32 (USA) J30 carries a coolant change interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first across the 1996-1997 model years.
  • The initial service interval for the J30 extends to 60,000 miles or 48 months, doubling the normal use interval in both mileage and time, which reflects the extended protection window of a fresh factory or first-fill coolant charge before degradation products accumulate.
