2019 Infiniti Q70

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Q70.

Body PASSENGER CAR

The 2019 Infiniti Q70 is a passenger‑car sedan that calls for 5.2 qt of 5W‑30 engine oil, reflecting its standard lubrication specification. With only two owner‑reported complaints and two recalls logged for the model year, its trouble spots center on the power‑train, vehicle‑speed control and engine systems. Compared with the 2014‑2019 span—where complaints peaked at 10 in 2015 and bottomed out at a single report in 2014—the 2019 Q70 sits near the low end of the history, suggesting a modest improvement in reliability for that year.

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.

In 2019 the 2019 Infiniti Q70 generated 2 consumer complaints and 2 federal recalls, with a total of 89 technical service bulletins (TSBs). That complaint count matches the 2017 figure but exceeds the 1 complaint recorded in 2018, while recalls rose from 1 in 2018 to 2 in 2019. The 2019 numbers remain far below the peak 2015 episode of 10 complaints and 150 TSBs, indicating a generally stable complaint environment for this generation. No crash‑related or fire‑related complaints were logged for the 2019 model year, and the reported complaint categories pertain to Power Train and Engine issues without a specified root cause in the data. Consequently, the 2019 model year presents a modest but manageable level of reported problems and can be considered a reasonable purchase, provided the buyer verifies that any recalled service has been completed.
