Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 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 2019 Infiniti QX60 sits in a comparatively calm portion of the model’s federal record. After the launch-heavy 2014 (229 complaints, 8 recalls, 3 investigations) and 2015 (92 complaints, 3 recalls), complaint volume dropped sharply and stayed low: 2019 logged 37 complaints, matching 2018 and well below the 2017 spike of 67. Recalls on the 2019 rose slightly to 2 from 1 in 2018, while TSBs continued their downward trajectory to 141 from 182 the prior year, and investigations remained at zero. Owner complaints concentrated in powertrain (9), back-over prevention (4), engine (4), and electrical system (2), with 2 crash-related complaints and no fire complaints, though the data does not specify root causes. Relative to later years, 2019’s complaint level is comparable to 2020–2022, but its recall count is lower than 2023–2024. That profile makes 2019 a reasonable used-buy candidate within this generation, provided a pre-purchase inspection confirms the two recalls and any powertrain symptoms have been addressed.
