Where is the oil filter of Infiniti QX50 located?
2 Answers
The oil filter of the Infiniti QX50 is located underneath the engine compartment, at the intersection of the engine and the lower end of the radiator. You can see it by looking down from the radiator. To replace the oil filter, first drain the oil completely. There is a drain plug at the bottom of the engine; loosen it to drain the oil, and use a container to collect the oil. The Infiniti QX50 is a vehicle under the Infiniti brand. In terms of body dimensions, it has a length, width, and height of 4744mm, 1803mm, and 1614mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2880mm. In terms of power, the Infiniti QX50 is equipped with a 3.7L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 173 kW and a peak torque of 253 N·m, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission.
Last time I helped a friend locate the Infiniti QX50's oil filter, I found it's usually hidden in the lower right corner of the engine bay, near the front wheel liner. You'll need to lift the vehicle to spot it from underneath. This is because the filter connects directly to the oil pump, serving to trap contaminants and protect the engine. If you're an owner doing DIY replacement, remember to prepare gloves and a wrench – after loosening, let the old oil drain completely. I'd recommend checking every 5,000 km along with an oil change to prevent filter clogging that could cause engine wear. For post-2019 QX50 models, the filter position is even more concealed and may require professional tools – beginners are better off seeking a mechanic's help to ensure no oil leaks or incorrect installation. Regular maintenance of this small component can extend your car's lifespan and save major repair costs.
