Capacity by Engine Option

For the 2022 Nissan Titan, all trims are equipped with the same 5.6L V8 Endurance® engine, so the oil capacity remains consistent.

Oil Change Interval

Nissan recommends adhering to the following oil change intervals for your 2022 Titan:

• Normal Duty Driving: Every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
• Severe Duty Driving: Every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. This applies if you frequently drive in conditions such as heavy city traffic, dusty unpaved roads, extreme temperatures, or if you regularly tow a trailer or carry heavy loads.

Regularly check your oil level between changes and top off as needed, especially if operating under severe duty conditions.

Drain Plug Torque

The oil drain plug on the 2022 Nissan Titan should be torqued to 25 ft-lbs (34 Nm). Always use a new crush washer with each oil change to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. The OEM crush washer part number is typically included with genuine Nissan oil filters or can be purchased separately (Nissan 11026-EN200).

How to Change the Oil

Changing the oil on your 2022 Nissan Titan is a straightforward process:

1. Gather Supplies: Ensure you have the correct oil, oil filter, new crush washer, drain pan, funnels, wrenches/sockets, and safety glasses.
2. Warm Up Engine (Optional): Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to warm the oil, allowing it to drain more easily. Ensure the vehicle is off and cool enough to work on safely before proceeding.
3. Lift and Secure: Safely lift the front of the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands on a level surface. Always use appropriate safety precautions.
4. Locate Drain Plug: Place the drain pan beneath the oil pan. Use a 14mm socket to carefully remove the drain plug. Allow all the old oil to drain completely.
5. Replace Drain Plug: Once drained, replace the old crush washer with a new one on the drain plug. Reinstall the drain plug and tighten to 25 ft-lbs (34 Nm).
6. Remove Oil Filter: Position your drain pan under the oil filter housing. Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old oil filter. Be prepared for some oil to spill.
7. Install New Filter: Apply a thin film of new engine oil to the gasket of the new oil filter. Screw on the new filter by hand until it's snug, then tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn (or according to filter manufacturer instructions). Avoid over-tightening.
8. Add New Oil: Lower the vehicle. Locate the oil filler cap on top of the engine. Using a funnel, slowly add 5.5 quarts of the recommended 0W-20 full synthetic oil. Check the dipstick. Start the engine and let it run for a minute to circulate the oil. Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, then recheck the oil level on the dipstick. Add the remaining oil (up to 0.5 quarts) as needed to reach the "FULL" mark without overfilling.
9. Check for Leaks: Visually inspect around the drain plug and oil filter for any leaks.
10. Reset Maintenance Reminder: Refer to your owner's manual for instructions on how to reset the oil maintenance reminder on your dashboard.

Common Issues / Tips

• Easily Accessible Filter: The oil filter on the 5.6L V8 Endurance® engine is conveniently located at the front of the engine, making it relatively easy to access during an oil change.
• Aluminum Oil Pan: The 2022 Titan often features an aluminum oil pan. Exercise caution not to overtighten the drain plug, as this can easily strip the threads, leading to costly repairs. Always use a torque wrench.
• Correct Viscosity is Key: The 0W-20 viscosity is crucial for optimal engine performance and fuel economy in the 5.6L V8. Using a different weight can negatively impact these factors and potentially cause engine wear.
• Full Synthetic Only: Nissan specifically calls for full synthetic oil for the 5.6L V8 in the 2022 Titan. Do not substitute with conventional or synthetic blend oils.
