2000 Infiniti I30 (VINs from YT1 16181 or YT2 00479)

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2000 I30 (VINs from YT1 16181 or YT2 00479).

Body PASSENGER CAREngine ElectricTransmission Automatic 4-spd

The 2000 Infiniti I30 (from VIN YT1 16181 or YT2 00479) is an electric passenger car paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, a combination that places it in a narrow and somewhat unusual slice of the model's production run. With 53 owner complaints logged and zero recalls, the data picture is mixed rather than alarming: the complaint volume is moderate for a vehicle of this vintage, yet the absence of any formal recall action suggests no systemic safety failure rose to the level of regulatory intervention. Notably, the top complaint area is the Electrical System — a point worth flagging given the powertrain's electric nature, as it implies owners' grievances cluster around the very subsystem most central to how this car operates. Taken together, this model year occupies a middle ground in the I30's reliability history: not a standout trouble year, but one where a specific, powertrain-adjacent vulnerability defines the ownership experience more than any broad mechanical deficiency.

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 24F · 585 CCA battery, OE oil filter 152089E01A. Note the factory cabin air filter is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter at 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 30,000 mi; coolant every 30,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 30,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2000 Infiniti I30 (VINs from YT1 16181 or YT2 00479) top in one area — the electrical system, 7 of 53 reports (13%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 5 of the reports describe a crash and 1 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the electrical system pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
