Additional Notes

  • The front differential on the INFINITI QX56 AWD, JA60 holds 1.6 liters of fluid, while the rear differential on both AWD and standard configurations holds 1.75 liters, reflecting the slightly larger housing typical of rear differentials in body-on-frame SUVs of this class.
  • The rear differential capacity of 1.75 liters applies equally to the AWD and non-AWD variants of the QX56, JA60 across the 2004-2010 model years, indicating a shared rear axle assembly regardless of drivetrain configuration.
  • All three differential service entries carry a normal use condition, with a check interval of 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, meaning the interval is tied to whichever threshold is reached earlier in everyday driving conditions.
  • The front differential is exclusive to the AWD configuration, as only the QX56 AWD, JA60 rows include a front differential entry, while the rear differential appears across both AWD and non-AWD rows for 2004-2010.
