NISSAN TITAN 2016 2.G Owners Manual

Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace engine oil and oil filter at the specified
intervals. For recommended oil grade and viscos-
ity refer to “Recommended fluids/lubricants and
capacities” in the “Technical and consumer infor-
mation” section of this manual.
Fuel Filter (diesel engine only)
Replace the fuel filter and drain the water at the
specified intervals.
Fuel Lines*
Check the fuel hoses, piping and connections for
leaks, looseness, or deterioration. Tighten con-
nections or replace parts as necessary.
CHASSIS AND BODY
MAINTENANCE:
Brake Lines and Cables
Visually inspect for proper installation. Check for
chafing, cracks, deterioration, and signs of leak-
ing. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts
immediately.
Brake Pads, Rotors, Drums, & Linings
Check for wear, deterioration and fluid leaks.
Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts im-
mediately.Exhaust System
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hang-
ers for leaks, cracks, deterioration, and damage.
Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary.
In-Cabin Microfilter
Replace at specified intervals. When driving for
prolonged periods in dusty conditions, replace
the filter more frequently.
Propeller Shaft(s)
Check for damage, looseness, and grease leak-
age. (4WD/AWD/RWD) .
Steering Gear and Linkage, Axle and Sus-
pension Parts, Drive Shaft Boots
Check for damage, looseness, and leakage of oil
or grease. Under severe driving conditions, in-
spect more frequently.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles
(8,000 km) according to the instructions under
“General maintenance” in this section. When ro-
tating tires, check for damage and uneven wear.
Replace if necessary.
Transmission Fluid/Oil, Differential Oil,
Transfer Case Oil
Visually inspect for signs of leakage at specified
intervals.Replace automatic transmission fluid at specified
intervals. (For diesel engine models)
If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top
carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads:
● Replace the differential oil every
20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24 months.
● Replace the automatic transmission fluid
ever 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or
24 months. (For gasoline engine models)
Off-Road Maintenance
Check the following items frequently whenever you
drive off-road through deep sand, mud or water:
● Brake pads and rotors
● Brake linings and drums
● Brake lines and hoses
● Differential, transmission and transfer case
oil
● Steering linkage
● Propeller shaft(s) and front drive shafts
● Engine air filter
● Clutch housing drain (4WD only)
9-6Maintenance and schedules

To ensure smooth, trouble-free, safe and eco-
nomical driving, NISSAN provides two mainte-
nance schedules that may be used, depending
upon the conditions in which you usually drive.
These schedules contain both distance and time
intervals, 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 main-
tenance at the same mileage/time inter-
vals.ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
FOR SEVERE OPERATING
CONDITIONS
Additional maintenance items for severe
operating conditionsshould 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.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
Maintenance and schedules9-7

The following tables show the standard mainte-
nance schedule. Depending upon weather and
atmospheric conditions, varying road surfaces,
individual driving habits and vehicle usage, addi-
tional or more frequent maintenance may be re-
quired.Maintenance beyond the last period
on the tables requires similar maintenance.

NOTE:
1. After 40,000 miles (64,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found damaged.
2. If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
3. Maintenance-free item.
4. First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 60 months.
5. Use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ration of 50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life expectancy of the factory fill coolant.
6. Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increased, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such maintenance in
order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are required.

NOTE:
Maintenance items with “” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Conditions”.
1. Inspection is not necessary under normal driving condition. If using under the severe condition such as towing a trailer, using a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months. NISSAN recommends using Genuine NISSAN
Matic S automatic transmission fluid. Using automatic transmission fluid that is not equivalent to Genuine NISSAN Matic S may damage the
transmission or impact transmission durability. Damage caused by the use of fluid other than as recommended is not covered under the NISSAN New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
2. If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24 months.
3. Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.
