2022 Infiniti QX80

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 QX80.

Transmission Automatic (S7)

The 2022 Infiniti QX80 pairs a 7-speed automatic transmission with an engine specification of 6.9 quarts of 0W-20 API SN oil, delivering EPA ratings of 14 mpg city, 20 mpg highway, and 16 mpg combined. Across the model's complaint history spanning 2014 through 2026, this model year stands as the lowest on record with a single owner complaint — related to the electrical system and back-over prevention — and zero recalls, compared to a peak of 20 complaints in 2014. That distinction makes the 2022 the quietest year in the QX80's documented reliability history, pointing to a stable point in the model's lifecycle for those evaluating long-term ownership prospects.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 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.

Across the Infiniti QX80 generation, federal complaints and Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) have followed a distinct downward trend from early highs of 20 complaints and 154 TSBs in 2014. The 2022 model year sits at the absolute bottom of this declining arc, recording the generation's lowest complaint volume of just 1, alongside a single recall and 69 TSBs. This represents a notable improvement over the preceding 2021 model year, which saw 7 complaints, 3 recalls, and 98 TSBs, and it remains quieter than the subsequent 2025 model year that experienced a spike to 8 complaints and 3 recalls. The sole 2022 complaint involves the Electrical System and Back Over Prevention, with zero reported crash or fire incidents, though the data does not specify the root cause. Positioned as the statistical low-water mark for federal issues within this generation, the 2022 Infiniti QX80 is an excellent, well-refined year to purchase on the used market.
