Preventive maintenance is the easiest and
least expensive type of maintenance. Keep
records of regularly scheduled mainte-
nance and follow the maintenance sched-
ule recommendations outlined in the Titan
Owner’s Manual.
Use the correct fuel, lubricating oil, and
coolant in your engine. Blending engine oil
with fuel is prohibited for engines with an
af tertreatment system. For additional in-
formation, refer to the “Capacities and
specifications” section of 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. Reading this supplement will fa-
miliarize you and other operators of the
vehicle with the unique maintenance and
operating procedures that will prolong the
life of the diesel engine and related sys-
tems.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
∙ Warm up the engine before operating itunder load
∙ Do not operate the engine at idle for extended periods
∙ Prevent engine lugging by selecting the appropriate transmission gear
∙ Monitor the vehicle oil pressure and temperature gauges
∙ Check fluid levels frequently (Oil & Cool- ant)
∙ 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
observed for the first 6,000 miles. The en-
gine run-in is improved by operating the
vehicle under load.
DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
The diesel engine fuel system is a pressur-
ized two-stage filtration system and con-
sists 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 cylin- der 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 lef t
bank fuel rail, and fuel rails to fuel injec-
tors.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1-2Introduction

CHANGING ENGINE OIL FILTER
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface andapply the parking brake.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Remove bolts
Aand skid plate. 4. Place a large drain pan under the oil
filter
B.
5. Loosen the oil filter with an oil filter wrench by turning it counterclockwise.
Then remove the oil filter by turning it
by hand.
CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself. The en-
gine oil may be hot.
6. Wipe the engine oil filter sealing surface with a clean rag.

LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Diesel engine
Commercially available diesel fuel is ad-
justed seasonally for cold temperatures.
NISSAN recommends the use of diesel fuel
that has been seasonally adjusted for tem-
peratures below 32°F (0°C)
Diesel fuel of above 42 cetane minimum
above 32°F (0°C); 45 cetane minimum be-
low 32°F (0°C) and with less than 15 ppm of
sulfur must be used.
A cetane number below 42 can cause poor
starting, excessive white smoke, and poor
idling. A cetane number above 55 can in-
crease smoke at peak torque conditions.
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use
summer or winter fuel properly according
to the following temperature conditions.∙ Above 32°F (0°C) . . . Summer type diesel
fuel.
∙ Below 32°F (0°C) . . . Winter type diesel fuel.
If you are in any doubt, it is recommended
that you consult a NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
∙ Do not use home heating oil, petro- leum, biodiesel (more than 10%) or
other alternate fuels in your diesel en-
gine. The use of those can cause en-
gine damage.
∙ Do not use summer fuel at tempera- tures below 20°F (- 7°C). The cold tem-
peratures will cause wax to form in
the fuel. As a result, it may prevent the
engine from running smoothly.
B10 fuel
B10 fuel is a mixture of approximately 10%
biodiesel and 90% petroleum diesel. Your
vehicle was designed to run on blends of
biodiesel up to B10 (B1-B10). Operating your
vehicle on higher blends is not recom-
mended. Your vehicle’s engine, exhaust
catalyst filter and particulate filter, and fuel
system components may be damaged if
any of these blends are used.
U.S. government regulations require that
biodiesel blends between B6 and B10 are
identified at fuel dispensing pumps by a
label with the common abbreviation or the
appropriate percentage for that region. B6
--B10 blends must meet prescribed quality
standards specified by ASTM D7467.
B10 fuel storage
Biodiesel degrades more quickly than pure
petroleum-based diesel. When storing a
vehicle that runs on a biodiesel blend, it is
important to keep the following in mind:
∙ If storing a vehicle for longer than one month, empty the fuel tank of biodiesel.
∙ To prepare a vehicle to run af ter pro- longed storage, fill the fuel tank with a
pure petroleum-based diesel fuel and
run your vehicle for at least half an hour.
∙ Fuel system seals, plastics and steel parts can be damaged by degraded or
oxidized biodiesel.
During cold weather, biodiesel fuel may
need to be stored in a heated storage tank
in order to prevent it from gelling or solidi-
f ying.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
DEF is a solution composed of urea and
de-ionized water. In diesel vehicles, it is
used as part of the exhaust system to
break down harmful NOx emissions into
nitrogen and water. It is important to keep
your vehicle’s DEF tank filled properly.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATIONS
Selecting the correct oil
NOTE:
The factory fill oil may include a red dye
that 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
approximately 4-5 oil changes.It is essential to choose the correct grade,
quality and viscosity engine oil to ensure
satisfactory engine life and performance.
For additional information, refer to “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities”
in this section. NISSAN recommends the
use of an energy conserving oil in order to
improve fuel economy.Select only engine oils that meet the Cum-
mins® Engineering Standard (CES) classifi-
cation (CES 20081) and American Petro-
leum Institute (API) certification (API CJ-4,
Low Ash Oil) and SAE viscosity standard
(10W-30 or 5W-40). These oils have the API
certification mark and CES 20081 on the
container. Oils which do not have the
specified information on the 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
necessary when the proper oil type is used
and maintenance intervals are followed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or
has been previously used should not be
used.LTI2207
