2017 Nissan Titan: Factory Maintenance Schedule

Quick Reference: 2017 Nissan Titan Maintenance

Severe-Duty Schedule

The 2017 Nissan Titan's owner's manual outlines a more frequent service schedule for trucks used in "severe" conditions. If you regularly tow heavy loads, frequently drive on dusty or unpaved roads, make many short trips (under 5 miles), or operate in extreme cold, you should follow the severe-duty schedule. This typically involves changing the oil and filter every 5,000 miles and performing other services, like transmission and differential fluid changes, more frequently. Consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations.

Known Issues by Mileage

• 30,000-60,000 miles: Some owners have reported issues with the transmission, including rough shifting or hesitation. This is often addressed with a software update or, in some cases, a fluid change. The stock brake rotors have also been known to warp prematurely, leading to a pulsation when braking.
• 60,000-100,000 miles: This is the mileage range where issues with the emissions system, such as a failing DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) system on diesel models, may arise.

Estimated Cost Per Service

• 5,000-mile service (oil change, tire rotation): $50 - $100
• 15,000-mile service (with cabin air filter): $100 - $200
• 30,000-mile service (with engine air filter, brake fluid flush): $250 - $400
• 60,000-mile service (with transmission fluid service): $400 - $600
• 105,000-mile service (with spark plugs): $300 - $500
• 150,000-mile service (with coolant flush): $300 - $500

What You Can DIY vs. Shop

• DIY: Oil and filter changes, tire rotations, cabin and engine air filter replacements are all relatively simple jobs that can be done at home with basic tools. This can save you a significant amount of money on labor costs.
• Shop: For more complex services like brake fluid flushes, transmission fluid services, spark plug replacements, and coolant flushes, it's generally best to have a qualified technician perform the work. These jobs require specialized tools and knowledge to be done correctly. The timing chain on the 2017 Titan is designed to last the life of the engine and does not have a scheduled replacement interval. Differential and transfer case services should also be performed by a shop.
