2019 NISSAN TITAN Owner´s Manual

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT
LEVEL
Check the coolant levelin the reservoir
when the engine is cold. If the coolant
level is below the MIN level
B, add coolant
to the MAX level
A. If the reservoir is empty,
check the coolant level in the radiator
when the engine is cold. If there is insuffi-
cient coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator
with coolant up to the filler opening and
also add it to the reservoir up to the MAX
level
A.
This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue). The life ex- pectancy of the factory-fill coolant is
45,000 miles (78,000 km) or 3 years. Mixing
any other type of coolant or the use of
non-distilled water may reduce the life ex-
pectancy of the factory-fill coolant. For ad-
ditional information, refer to the Titan Own-
er’s Manual.
CAUTION
Never use any cooling system additives
such as radiator sealer. Additives may
clog the cooling system and cause
damage to the engine, transmission
and/or cooling system.
If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
For additional information on the location
of the engine coolant reservoir, refer to “En-
gine compartment check locations” in this
section.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
A NISSAN dealer can change the engine
coolant. The service procedure can be
found in the NISSAN Service Manual. Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine over-
heating.
WARNING
∙ To avoid the danger of being scalded,
never change the coolant when the
engine is hot.
∙ Never remove the radiator or engine coolant reservoir cap when the en-
gine is hot. Serious burns could be
caused by high pressure fluid escap-
ing from the radiator.
∙ Avoid direct skin contact with used coolant. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
as soon as possible.
∙ Keep coolant out of the reach of chil- dren and pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of prop-
erly. Check your local regulations.

CAUTION
Your vehicle may require more frequent
maintenance if it operates on biodiesel
blends between 6% and 10% (B6 and
B10). To avoid damage to your vehicle,
the oil, oil filter, and fuel filter will need
to be replaced af ter a shorter time in-
terval than if your vehicle was operat-
ing on pure petroleum-based diesel.
For additional information, refer to the
“Maintenance and schedules” section in
the Titan Owner’s Manual.
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
The factory fill oil may include a red dye
that is added for manufacturing quality
processes. The dye makes the oil appear
to be red. This is normal. The red dye will
be flushed from the engine af ter ap-
proximately 4–5 oil changes.1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches operating temperature.
3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than
10 minutes for the oil to drain back
into the oil pan.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinsert it all the way.

5. Remove the dipstick again and checkthe oil level. It should be between the
high and low marks
B. This is the nor-
mal operating oil level range. If the oil
level is below the low mark
A, remove
the oil filler cap and pour recom-
mended oil through the opening. Do
not overfill
C.
6. Recheck oil level with the dipstick.
It is normal to add some oil between oil
maintenance intervals or during the
break-in period, depending on the sever-
ity of operating conditions.
CAUTION
Oil level should be checked regularly.
Operating the engine with an insuffi-
cient amount of oil can damage the en-
gine, and such damage is not covered
by warranty.

For additional information on drain
and refill capacity, refer to “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capaci-
ties” in the “Capacities and specifica-
tions” section of this manual.
The drain and refill capacity depends
on the oil temperature and drain time.
Use these specifications for reference
only. Always use the dipstick to deter-
mine when the proper amount of oil is
in the engine.
8. Start the engine. Check for leakage around the drain plug and oil filter. Cor-
rect as required.
9. Turn the engine off and wait more than 10 minutes. Check the oil level with the

WARNING
∙ Stay clear from the exhaust outlet andexhaust gases. These can cause burns
or personal injury.
∙ To avoid the risk of personal injury or fire, do not park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags, as hot vehicle
components may ignite them.
CAUTION
To maintain maximum Diesel Particu-
late Filter (DPF) performance, follow
these precautions:
∙ Use ultra low-sulfur fuel.
∙ Use an engine oil specified by NISSAN.For additional information, refer to
“Recommended fluids/lubricants and
capacities” in the “Capacities and
specifications” section of this manual.
If an engine oil not specified by
NISSAN is used, it could cause DPF
malfunction or reduced fuel
efficiency. ∙ Do not modif y the DPF, muffler or ex-
haust pipe. Otherwise it could affect
the DPF performance and cause a
malfunction.
∙ Do not kick or hit the DPF. The DPF has a built-in catalyst system in the muf-
fler. Such an impact could cause DPF
damage.
The DPF reduces the amount of materials
that affect the environment by collecting
particulate matter included in exhaust
gases. Normally, particulate matter accu-
mulated in the DPF is automatically burned
and converted to harmless substances
during driving. However, particulate matter
collected in the DPF cannot be burned un-
der the following conditions: ∙ When vehicle speed remains below 5 mph (8 km/h) for a long period of time.
∙ When the engine is frequently stopped and restarted within 10 minutes.
∙ When the vehicle is frequently used for short journeys of 10 minutes or less.
∙ When the engine is frequently stopped before it has warmed up. In these cases, it becomes difficult to burn
particulate matter that has accumulated
in the DPF. As a result, the DPF warning light
will illuminate/blink and one of the follow-
ing messages will display on the vehicle
information display (in order of severity):
∙ Exhaust Filter Overloaded See Owner’s Manual for Drive Pattern
∙ Exhaust Filter Overloaded Engine Power Reduced See Owner’s Manual
∙ Exhaust Filter Overloaded Immediate Service Required
For additional information, refer to “Meters
and gauges" in the “Instrument panel” sec-
tion of this manual.
CAUTION
∙ If the vehicle continues to be driven with the DPF warning light illumi-
nated and without doing the regen-
eration process, the fail-safe will limit
the engine revolutions and/or torque.
In this case, it is recommended to con-
tact a NISSAN dealer to have the Ser-
vice Regeneration procedure
performed.

AUTOMATIC REGENERATION
Automatic regeneration occurs when the
control module detects the exhaust filter
needs to be cleaned. This is a normal pro-
cess and will not typically require any op-
erator interaction.
If the automatic regeneration is not able to
clean the exhaust filter the vehicle informa-
tion display will display the following mes-
sages in order of severity:∙ Exhaust Filter Overloaded See Owner’s Manual for Drive Pattern
∙ Exhaust Filter Overloaded Engine Power Reduced See Owner’s Manual
∙ Exhaust Filter Overloaded Immediate Service Required
The instructions for these messages in the
“Meters and gauges” section of this manual
will inform the driver to modif y their driving
pattern to enable the automatic regenera-
tion process.
