Additional Notes

  • The INFINITI QX60 L51 3.5 carries a power steering fluid capacity of 1 liter across all listed configurations, spanning the 2021-2022 model years. A 1-liter figure in a power steering system typically reflects the total reservoir and line volume rather than a full hydraulic pump overhaul fill.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2021 QX60 3.5 calls for a power steering fluid check at 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger structure means the time interval can prompt a check even before the mileage threshold is reached in low-mileage driving situations.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 2021 QX60 3.5 shortens the power steering fluid check interval considerably, to 5,000 miles or 6 months. Severe use classifications generally account for operating environments that place greater stress on fluid integrity, such as frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, or heavy towing.
  • The 2022 QX60 3.5 carries identical check intervals to the 2021 model, with normal use calling for inspection at 30,000 miles or 24 months and severe use requiring attention at 5,000 miles or 6 months. The capacity figure of 1 liter also remains unchanged between the two model year entries.
  • The gap between the normal and severe use check intervals is substantial. Normal use allows up to 30,000 miles between inspections, while severe use requires attention every 5,000 miles, a sixfold difference in mileage frequency and a fourfold difference in the time-based interval.
