The all-wheel steering (AWS) transfer case in the 2012 Infiniti requires a specific lubricant to ensure proper operation and longevity. Using an incorrect fluid can lead to premature wear, reduced performance, and potential damage to the internal components of the transfer case. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fluid specification is crucial for maintaining the system’s integrity.
Employing the correct fluid optimizes the transfer case’s functionality by providing adequate lubrication, heat dissipation, and protection against wear under various driving conditions. The AWS system is a complex mechanism, and using the specified fluid ensures that the intricate gears and bearings within the transfer case receive the proper lubrication, minimizing friction and preventing component failure. Furthermore, using the proper fluid, as recommended by Infiniti, helps maintain the vehicle’s warranty and ensures compatibility with other system components.
