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.

Federal data shows the 2023 Infiniti QX80 sits near the bottom of a generation-long decline in owner complaints and technical service bulletins, recording just 2 complaints, 1 recall, and 50 TSBs against far heavier volumes from 2014 through 2019, when complaints routinely reached the teens and recalls ranged up to 4 annually. The model inherits the low-complaint environment that began in 2022 and continues into 2024, while its zero investigations, crash complaints, and fire complaints mark it as one of the cleanest years on record before a rebound to 8 complaints and 3 recalls in 2025. The two complaint entries are classified under "Unknown Or Other" and a combined label referencing electrical and forward collision avoidance systems, so the data does not specify a distinct root cause or confirmed defect for this model year. Against a backdrop of steadily falling TSB counts from triple digits earlier in the generation, the 2023 results suggest this model year emerged after the bulk of running issues had been largely addressed. Given its minimal federal footprint and absence of reported crash or fire incidents, the 2023 QX80 stands out as a favorable used purchase within this generation.
