Infiniti USA's web site does not go back to 2002..
FYI I had a 1996 I30 that my wife drove and liked a lot.
On second thought, if you only drive 2,000 miles a year it would be a decent option to go to your local Infiniti dealer for a basic conventional oil change (5w-30 and an OEM Nissan filter). It won't break the bank, and you only need a tire rotation every 5-6K miles (2-3 years). Just be leery if they try to upsell you on anything. You should have a few Infiniti dealers in Broward County and your local area.
Why would you do this unless you suspected other issues. When you can DIY for under thirty dollars with quality full synthetic as opposed to a conventional change at the dealer for more money. Full synthetic 50% less wear than conventional oil.
Why? Because the OP is a newbie who has never done his own OC before, he only drives 2,000 miles a year, his 2002 model was made for conventional oil and the VQ engines of that era do pretty well on conventional. Kapiche?
