Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What are the technical specifications of the drivetrain for the 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35?

The 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35 features an ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, paired with a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 297 horsepower. The drivetrain is compatible with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The AWD system automatically adjusts torque distribution between the front and rear wheels for optimal traction. This system is designed for both on-road and light off-road use, ensuring stability and performance in various driving conditions.

Q2

What maintenance is required for the Infiniti EX35 drivetrain?

Regular maintenance for the Infiniti EX35 drivetrain includes checking and replacing the transfer case fluid every 30,000 miles, inspecting the driveshaft and CV joints for wear, and ensuring the AWD system functions correctly. Additionally, the differential fluid should be replaced every 60,000 miles. Routine inspections of the drivetrain components for leaks or damage are essential to maintain optimal performance and longevity.

Q3

How do I replace the drivetrain components on a 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35?

Replacing drivetrain components on the Infiniti EX35 involves several steps. First, safely lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the undercarriage covers to access the drivetrain. For the driveshaft, unbolt it from the differential and transmission. For the AWD system, disconnect the transfer case and remove it carefully. Installation is the reverse process, ensuring all bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications and fluids are replenished.

Q4

What should I do if my Infiniti EX35 drivetrain is malfunctioning?

If your Infiniti EX35 drivetrain is malfunctioning, start by checking for error codes using an OBD-II scanner. Inspect the transfer case and differential for fluid leaks or unusual noises. Ensure the driveshaft and CV joints are intact and not damaged. If the AWD system is not engaging, verify the sensors and actuators are functioning correctly. For persistent issues, consult a professional mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and repair.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti EX35 drivetrain?

To optimize the performance of your Infiniti EX35 drivetrain, ensure all fluids are at the correct levels and use high-quality synthetic oils for the transfer case and differential. Regularly inspect and maintain drivetrain components to prevent wear. Upgrading to performance-grade tires can enhance traction and handling. Additionally, driving smoothly and avoiding harsh acceleration or braking can reduce strain on the drivetrain, extending its lifespan.
