INFINITI Q60, V37 (USA)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

INFINITI Q60, V37 (USA) models utilize brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include changes at 10000 miles/12 months and 20000 miles/24 months. The data covers 8 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across all 2021-2022 INFINITI Q60 V37 configurations covered here, the brake fluid fill level is specified as between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, rather than as a fixed volume. A min-to-max fill specification is standard for hydraulic brake systems, where the reservoir level naturally drops slightly as brake pads wear and the caliper pistons extend further.
  • Under normal use conditions, the hydraulic brake system fluid change interval is 20,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, across all listed configurations for 2021-2022.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same hydraulic brake system carries a change interval of 10,000 miles or 12 months. Both the mileage and the time component are exactly half of the normal-use interval, reflecting the accelerated fluid degradation associated with more demanding operating conditions.
  • The halving of the interval under severe use is consistent with how brake fluid behaves under repeated high-heat cycles. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture over time, and severe use accelerates the rate at which the fluid's boiling point drops to a level that can compromise braking performance.
  • The 224 kW and 298 kW output variants of the 3.0T engine share identical brake fluid service intervals under both normal and severe conditions, with no differentiation in the specifications between the two power levels.
  • RWD and AWD drivetrain configurations also carry the same brake fluid change intervals across both use conditions, indicating no drivetrain-based variation in the hydraulic brake system service schedule for 2021-2022.
