countered, have your vehicle checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
servicing.
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is not a
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATIONS (for gas
engine only)
For diesel engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tions, refer to “Engine oil and oil filter recommen-
dations” section of the “Titan Diesel Owner’s
Manual”.
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality
and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory
engine life and performance. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Recommended fluids/lubricants
and capacities” in this section. NISSAN recom-mends the use of an energy conserving oil in
order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American
Petroleum Institute (API) certification or Interna-
tional Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE vis-
cosity standard. These oils have the API certifica-
tion mark on the front of the container. Oils which
do not have the specified quality label should not
be used as they could cause engine damage.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION:
Gas engine only
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) num-
ber (Research octane number 91) .
CAUTION
●Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission
control system, and may also affect the
warranty coverage.
● Under no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, because this
will damage the three-way catalyst.
● Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your
vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to
run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-15 or
E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specifically
designed for E-15 or E-85 fuel can ad-
versely affect the emission control de-
vices and systems of the vehicle. Dam-
age caused by such fuel is not covered
by the NISSAN New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. ●
Do not use fuel that contains the octane
booster methylcyclopentadienyl man-
ganese tricarbonyl (MMT) . Using fuel
containing MMT may adversely affect
vehicle performance and vehicle emis-
sions. Not all fuel dispensers are la-
beled to indicate MMT content, so you
may have to consult your gasoline re-
tailer for more details. Note that Fed-
eral and California laws prohibit the use
of MMT in reformulated gasoline.
● U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be identi-
fied by a small, square, orange and
black label with the common abbrevia-
tion or the appropriate percentage for
that region.
For additional information, refer to “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities” in the
“Technical and consumer information” section of
the “Owner’s Manual”.
Diesel engine only
For additional information, refer to “Fuel recom-
mendation” in the “Titan Diesel Owner’s Manual”.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION:
Gas engine only ● Genuine NISSAN engine oil or equivalent
● Engine oil with API Certification Mark
● Viscosity SAE 0W-20
For additional information, refer to “Engine oil and
oil filter recommendations” in the “Technical and
consumer information” section of this manual.
Diesel engine only
For additional information, refer to “Engine oil
recommendation” in the “Titan Diesel Owner’s
Manual”.
COLD TIRE PRESSURE:
For additional information, refer to “Tire and load-
ing information label” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this manual.
The label is typically located on the driver side
center pillar or on the driver’s door. For additional
information, refer to “Wheels and tires” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.

Preventive maintenance is the easiest and least
expensive type of maintenance. Keep records of
regularly scheduled maintenance and follow the
maintenance schedule recommendations out-
lined in the “Titan Owner’s Manual”.
Use the correct fuel, lubricating oil, and coolant in
your engine. Blending engine oil with fuel is pro-
hibited for engines with an aftertreatment system.
For additional information refer to the “Capacities
and Specifications” section in this manual.
A NISSAN dealership knows your vehicle. When
you require any service or have any questions,
they will be glad to assist you with the extensive
resources available to them.
DIESEL ENGINE OPERATION
The operation of the diesel engine in your new
vehicle varies from the operation of traditional
gasoline engines found in other vehicles. Read-
ing this supplement will familiarize you and other
operators of the vehicle with the unique mainte-
nance and operating procedures that will prolong
the life of the diesel engine and related systems.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
●Warm up the engine before operating it un-
der load
● Do not operate the engine at idle for ex-
tended periods
● Prevent engine lugging by selecting the ap-
propriate transmission gear
● Monitor the vehicle oil pressure and tem-
perature gauges
● Check fluid levels frequently (Oil & Coolant)
● Vary the throttle position at highway speeds
when carrying weight or towing
NOTE:
Extended light or no load operation will
extend the time before the engine reaches
its full efficiency. If the engine is operated
in this manner, reduced fuel economy and
power may be observed.
The aforementioned procedure should be ob-
served for the first 6,000 miles. The engine run-in
is improved by operating the vehicle under load.
DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
The diesel engine fuel system is a pressurized
two-stage filtration system and consists of: ● A frame-mounted primary (stage 1) fuel filter
containing water/fuel separator, electric fuel
pump, and water in fuel drain valve
● An engine-mounted secondary (stage 2)
fuel filter
● A fuel injector for each cylinder (8 total)
● A high-pressure fuel pump
● A high-pressure fuel rail for each cylinder
bank (2 total)
● High-pressure fuel lines from the high-
pressure fuel pump to the right bank fuel rail,
right bank fuel rail to the left bank fuel rail,
and fuel rails to fuel injectors.
The stage 1 fuel filter separates water and filters
impurities from the fuel. The stage 2 fuel filter
filters finer impurities from the diesel fuel. The
stage 1 and stage 2 fuel filters should be
changed at the recommended service interval or
when indicated by the information display. For
additional information, refer to the “Titan Owner’s
Manual”.
