Replying to: slownez (Jul 15, 2009 5:24 pm) Just click on the oil change reminder and it will prompt you to reset - it is right above the place where you adjust the interval. Click Reset and it will clear the mileage to zero... and will remind you in 2500 miles.

Replying to: BMW540 (Aug 07, 2009 4:41 pm) The general accepted standard is less than 1qt per 1000 miles for performance car, but, with modern engines, I would say less than 2 qts for 3000 miles is acceptable.

The comparable model Audi is the A6, not the A4.   We'd pretty much decided on the A6, but our dealer couldn't locate an acceptable car on dealer trade. So we're now driving an Infiniti M35x, which my wife and I both love.   -Karl
#1127 of 1177 Cigarette lighter as power source by rdesman Aug 29, 2009 (8:14 am)
I know the owners manual does not recommend the use of the lighter for powering things like radar detectors, etc but has anyone had any experience with doing so? I just thought I would check before trying it and blowing my car up. Replies to this message: osbornkg (Aug 29, 2009 10:57 am)

Replying to: rdesman (Aug 29, 2009 8:14 am) I see what you mean. The owner’s manual isn’t forth coming with technical information.   Call the dealer and ask the Service rep. what the cig. lighter circuit is rated for. Ten amps, 15 amps or 20 amps? Whatever that amount is, make sure the components you plug into the lighter socket are less then that amount. You should be just fine with a radar detector. The M35/45’s are great to be driven and the detector is helpful to have.   You won't blow the car up - you'll blow a fuse if you plug a component in that draws to much current for that circuit.   Wishing you good luck.
#1129 of 1177 Just kidding... by rdesman Aug 29, 2009 (11:12 am)
about blowing it up. The question really is if the fusing/circuitry for the cigarette lighter is different than the fusing/circuitry for the accessory socket and why Infiniti designed it that way if in fact that is the case.
#1130 of 1177 plug in Cig. socket. by mltsurger Aug 30, 2009 (6:07 pm)
I found my new M45X with a blown 10 Amp Fuse for the cig lighter. Replaced the mini fuse and now plug my cell phone into the socket. It works fine,no fuse problems and no smoke so far. Is this safe. Thoughts? Replies to this message: osbornkg (Aug 31, 2009 5:26 am)

Replying to: mltsurger (Aug 30, 2009 6:07 pm) There should be no problem with a cell phone plugged into the socket. Biggest problem is when you answer and talk on your phone while driving. Does your cell phone have Bluetooth? If, so pair it with the Bluetooth in the M45 and you can answer and talk hands free. Good Luck.
#1132 of 1177 2006 M45 flawless by johnhw7 Sep 09, 2009 (6:20 pm)
Recently returned my 2006 M45 sport off lease. It was flawless, one of the best of 10 Infinitis Ive leased/owned since giving1993. Retired now and dont need three cars so didnt replace it but miss it a lot... 2008 QX and G37 coupe are nice for their purpose but miss the M45 on long trips when storage isnt needed. Hope the new one is slightly larger, truck and back seat wise and not out of orbit price wise. Replies to this message: osbornkg (Sep 10, 2009 6:05 am)

Replying to: johnhw7 (Sep 09, 2009 6:20 pm) Yes, the "M" is a very fine car. Our 07, M35 purchased in June of 07 now has 47,000 miles on it. Just a great road car. We feel blessed to travel this great country in such a fine car. No major maint. as yet, other then oil/filter and air filter. Just great. Thanks for your comments - we feel the same.
