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 after a shorter time interval than
if your vehicle was operating on pure
petroleum-based diesel. For additional in-
formation, refer to the “Maintenance” sec-
tion 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 pro-
cesses. The dye makes the oil appear to be
red. This is normal. The red dye will be
flushed from the engine after approxi-
mately 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. Re- insert it all the way.
