2017 NISSAN TITAN oil temperature

●Steering linkage
● Propeller shaft(s) and front drive shafts
● Engine air filter
● Clutch housing drain (4WD only) To help ensure smooth, safe and economical
driving, NISSAN provides two maintenance
schedules that may be used, depending upon the
conditions in which you usually drive. These
schedules contain both distance and time inter-
vals, up to 120,000 miles
(192,000 km)/144 months. For most people, the
odometer reading will indicate when service is
needed. However, if you drive very little, your
vehicle should be serviced at the regular time
intervals shown in the schedule.
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144 months,
continue maintenance at the same
mileage/time intervals.
ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
FOR SEVERE OPERATING
CONDITIONS
Additional maintenance items for severe
operating conditions
should be performed on
vehicles that are driven under especially de-
manding conditions. Additional maintenance
items should be performed if you primarily oper-
ate your vehicle under the following conditions:
● Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in
normal temperatures or less than 10 miles in
freezing temperatures.
● Stop-and-go traffic in hot weather or low
speed driving for long distances. ●
Driving in dusty conditions or on rough,
muddy or salt-spread roads.
● Towing a trailer, or using a camper or car-top
carrier.
OIL CHANGE MONITOR (diesel
engine only)
This vehicle is equipped with oil change monitor.
It calculates engine oil and filter change interval
base on driving conditions. Driving in severe con-
ditions will shorten the engine oil and filter
change interval. When the Engine Oil – Service
Due Now warning appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display, the engine oil and filter need to be
replaced.
NOTE:
For vehicles operated in Canada, both
standard and severe maintenance items
should be performed at every interval.

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.
Oil additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not neces-
sary when the proper oil type is used and main-
tenance intervals are followed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or has been
previously used should not be used.
Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes
with temperature. Because of this, it is important
to select the engine oil viscosity based on the
temperatures at which the vehicle will be oper-
ated before the next oil change. Choosing an oil
viscosity other than that recommended could
cause serious engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new NISSAN vehicle is equipped with a
high-quality Genuine NISSAN oil filter. When
replacing, use a Genuine NISSAN oil filter or its
equivalent for the reason described in “Change
intervals.”
LTI2051
Technical and consumer information10-7

Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for your
engine are based on the use of the specified
quality oils and filters. Using engine oil and filters
that are not of the specified quality, or exceeding
recommended oil and filter change intervals
could reduce engine life. Damage to the engine
caused by improper maintenance or use of incor-
rect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is not
covered by the NISSAN New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Your engine was filled with a high-quality engine
oil when it was built. You do not have to change
the oil before the first recommended change
interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend
upon how you use your vehicle.
Operation under the following conditions may
require more frequent oil and filter changes:● repeated short distance driving at cold out-
side temperatures
● driving in dusty conditions
● extensive idling
● towing a trailer
● stop and go commuting
For additional information, refer to the “Mainte-
nance and schedules” section of this manual.
AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
vehicle must be charged with the refriger-
ant HFC-134a (R-134a) and NISSAN A/C
system oil Type S (DH-PS) or the exact
equivalents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil may
cause severe damage to the air condition-
ing system and may require the replace-
ment of all air conditioner system
components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
NISSAN vehicle does not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the
earth’s atmosphere, certain government regula-
tions require the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air conditioner sys-
tem service. A NISSAN dealer has the trained
technicians and equipment needed to recover
and recycle your air conditioner system refriger-
ant.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
when servicing your air conditioner system.

The water/fuel separator should be drained when
indicated by illumination of the water in fuel warn-
ing light.
Proper fuel filter maintenance and prompt water
draining when the water in the fuel filter warning
light illuminates is essential to prevent damage to
fuel injection system components. Ignoring the
water in fuel warning light can cause your vehicle
to go into a reduced power mode.
ENGINE PROTECTION MODE
The diesel engine in this vehicle is equipped with
electronically controlled fuel and emission sys-
tems. Both systems monitor engine temperatures
and pressures, and then modify engine operation
accordingly. It is normal for the diesel engine to
operate under these modified conditions for
short durations of time. If the engine operates
under the modified conditions for extended peri-
ods of time, and the service engine soon light is
illuminated, have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service as soon as possible.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
It is important to change the engine oil at the
recommended service intervals to maintain oil
viscosity. Extending the oil and filter change inter-
val beyond the recommended interval can nega-
tively affect engine performance, fuel economyand engine life. For additional information, refer to
the “Do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
GLOW PLUGS
The diesel engine glow plug system consists of:
● Eight Glow Plugs (one per cylinder)
● Glow Plug Control Module- Uses input from
the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
The glow plugs are energized momentarily when
the ignition is first turned on. The length of time
that the glow plugs are energized varies depend-
ing on engine and environmental conditions. The
required time for the glow plugs to be energized
decreases as coolant temperature increases. For
additional information, refer to the “Starting and
stopping the engine” section of this manual.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate
filter in the exhaust system. The diesel particulate
filter reduces carbon emissions by trapping ex-
haust particulates (soot) before they reach the
tailpipe. You must properly maintain your diesel
particulate filter in order for it to function properly.
Regeneration of the diesel particulate filter oc-
curs automatically during operation above 5 mph
(8 km/h) and requires no actions from the driver.
If you do a lot of idling or stop and go driving, pay attention to maintenance messages that alert you
when you need to drive to activate the automatic
regeneration process. For additional information,
refer to the ”Automatic Regeneration” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION
SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic
reduction system designed to reduce emission
levels of nitrogen oxides from the exhaust of your
diesel engine. This system relies on the use of
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) that you must replen-
ish at certain intervals. Failure to maintain proper
DEF levels or if the DEF becomes contaminated
will result in vehicle speed limitation to 5 mph. For
additional information, refer to the ”Meters and
gauges” and “Capacities and Specifications”
sections of this manual.
