Additional Notes

  • The INFINITI J30 (Y32, USA) power steering fluid level is maintained between the reservoir's minimum and maximum marks rather than filled to a fixed volume, which is characteristic of a top-up or level-check service rather than a full fluid exchange with a measured capacity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the J30 calls for a power steering fluid check at 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same J30 power steering fluid check interval shortens considerably to 7,500 miles or 6 months, reflecting the more demanding operating environment placed on the steering system.
  • The gap between the normal and severe check intervals is substantial — 30,000 miles versus 7,500 miles — meaning severe-use operation triggers a fluid inspection four times more frequently than normal-use operation.
