I drive a 2004 Fx35 AWD, and I was wondering which oil to use, 5w-30 or 10w-30. I was also wondering which antifreeze to use, of course the dealer mentioned oem Infiniti antifreeze. I am wondering if this is true info or can I use antifreeze from Autozone, and since I dont have a owners manual do I pour the antifreeze in the overflow tank or radiator. I am still fairly new to the Fx world and appreciate any and all advice, and where can i get a owners manual. THANK YOU.

Either 10W-30 or 5W-30 is fine, but I believe 5W-30 is the recommended weight. For antifreeze, Autozone is fine. Just get one that is compatible w/ aluminum radiators which almost all are. Are you topping off the coolant or replacing? If you're just topping off, you could put it in the overflow or radiator. If you're replacing, then obviously you'll need to pour into radiator and then burp the system. I recently replaced the coolant, pretty easy procedure.

I would always go with factory coolant. For the oil just making sure that it is the grade meet the requirement.

There are a few different coolant on the market. Blue, Green, Red and many service manual recommend only factory coolant

I use Peak because that hot chick is on the bottle. The overflow should have a high/low marking so you can just pour into that and see where it's at fill wise.
