2017 Infiniti Q60

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Q60.

Body PASSENGER CAR

The 2017 Infiniti Q60 is a passenger car configured with rear-wheel drive, and like its predecessors it requires 0W-20 engine oil for maintenance; this model year marked the second generation of the Q60 coupe and served as a significant refresh for the nameplate. Across the model's production run from 2014 to 2021, the 2017 model year stands out in the reliability data with a total of 34 owner complaints, making it the year with the highest reported issues—nearly all of which centered on the engine—while the 2015 model year recorded the lowest complaint count at just 2, with only one recall issued overall for 2017. This contrast suggests that the 2017 Q60 represents a notable reliability dip within its own lineage, indicating that prospective buyers or researchers examining this model year should pay particular attention to engine-related concerns when evaluating long-term ownership costs and dependability.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 45,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 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.

The 2017 model year sits at the peak of the Q60's federal complaint curve in this record, with 34 complaints—more than the next-highest year (24 in 2018) and well above the 2–13 range seen in 2014–2015. It also carries the generation's highest TSB count at 187 and marks the start of the recall trend with one recall, while 2018–2021 each saw one or two recalls alongside steadily lower complaint volume. Reported complaint categories cluster around engine (7), air bags (4), unknown/other (3), and engine/fuel system (2), though the data does not specify root causes; crash-related complaints total two and fire complaints are zero. Because 2017 represents the high point of the complaint arc rather than the quieter later years, it carries more documented owner-reported issues than any other model year shown. A 2018 or later example would look cleaner by this federal record, but 2017 is still not an outlier for recalls or safety complaints, so it is a reasonable buy if priced accordingly and thoroughly inspected.
