11/2021 will make 7 years that I've owned my 2011 Infiniti M56x so I wanted to do an update video and report on how that's been going so far!

Nice to see a review on the M56. My father purchased a 2011 with the Sport Package in 2014 and still has it. Relatively low miles for the age too, 102K. Mentioned it was a challenge to find even back then! He’s only ever seen one other 56 on the road.
@FstLaneUkraine
@FstLaneUkraine Рік тому
This is still the case! Extremely rarely and I've only seen one or two in the wild in my 8.5 years of owning mine! And there is like a handful on auto trader in the whole US last I checked. It's definitely a unicorn which is why I am keeping mine for a long long time.

What a beautiful car! I am on my 4th Infiniti (I35, M37, Q50h, Q70h), never had/have any problem with them, in particular, the upkeep of the cars are reasonable, and the maintenance parts are readily available and not very expensive. I am in agreement with you of the quality of the car, and it is a sleeper most of the folks probably have no idea about.

Do you have to use premium gas? What minimum octane does Infiniti require?
@FstLaneUkraine
@FstLaneUkraine Рік тому
I do use premium and the car does state that it requires it. However, many M owners run all of the other octanes without much issue or so they say. But, IMO, why buy a V8 if you are going to penny pinch?

I tell you a little tip which I use on my cars for the rust bubbles, make sure use painters tape mask around the rust bubble or rust spot whatever you wanna call it then get a paper towel and put some nail polish remover on it and rub slowly till all the rust is gone, apply nail polish remover as you needed start with small amount. you might wanna use a power polishing tool later for blending if needed.

Have you ever used a spray carbon cleaner? And if so where did you spray it into?. I have 2011 and i get 26 to 27 on highway still with 125000. Miles. I sometimes get a bank 1 catalytic efficiency code but performance wise it has no lack of power so i think it maybe carbon buildup or o2 sensor. Thanks.
