Note: Specs can vary by trim (PRO-4X, SV, Platinum Reserve), axle, and whether the truck is standard Titan or Titan XD. Always verify in the owner’s manual or OEM service information for your exact VIN.

Engine oil

• Spec: 0W-20 full synthetic meeting API SP and ILSAC GF-6A. Nissan Genuine 0W-20 is recommended. Nissan does not publish a proprietary oil spec number; follow API/ILSAC.
• Capacity: Approximately 6.9–7.1 qt (6.5–6.7 L) with oil filter. Slight differences may exist between Titan and Titan XD. Verify for your VIN.
• Interval: Follow the maintenance reminder; typical intervals run 5,000–7,500 miles (8,000–12,000 km) depending on duty cycle. Severe use (towing, short trips, high heat/dust) favors the shorter end.
• Pitfalls: Do not upsize viscosity to mask consumption. Always replace the drain plug washer. Confirm the correct oil filter part number for V8 applications to avoid bypass valve mismatches.

Engine coolant

• Type: Nissan Genuine Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (Blue), a phosphated OAT (P‑OAT) formula. Pre-mixed 50/50 is standard; concentrate is also available. Color: blue.
• Capacity: Roughly 11–13 qt (10.4–12.3 L) total system depending on heater and model. Verify exact capacity by VIN.
• Interval: Factory fill is typically 10 years/105,000 miles (first change), then 5 years/75,000 miles thereafter when using Nissan Blue P‑OAT.
• Pitfalls: Do not mix green HOAT or universal “mixes with anything” coolants with Nissan Blue P‑OAT. Mixing coolants shortens service life and can form deposits. Always bleed the system properly to clear air from the heater core.

Automatic transmission fluid (ATF)

• Transmission: Most 2020+ Titans use the 9‑speed JR913E.
• Fluid: Nissan Genuine Matic S ATF is specified for the JR913E. Do not substitute Dexron/Mercon or “universal” ATF.
• Capacity: Total dry fill is typically ~10–12 qt (9.5–11.4 L). A routine drain-and-fill returns ~4–6 qt depending on pan and cooler configuration. Verify by transmission tag/OEM info.
• Interval: Many Nissan schedules list inspection rather than a fixed interval under normal use. For severe service (towing, hot climate, off‑road), a conservative 60,000–90,000 mile service interval is common. Always perform a proper temperature‑based level set procedure.
• Pitfalls: Using the wrong ATF can cause harsh shifts and clutch damage. Avoid power flushes on high‑mileage units; use multiple drain‑and‑fills instead. Confirm you can access and torque the internal level tube/fill plug before draining.

Transfer case (4x4)

• Type/Spec: Nissan transfer cases on Titan platforms commonly use ATF. Depending on year/build, Nissan specifies Matic S or the older Matic D (Dexron III equivalent). Verify by VIN or service manual for your exact transfer case model.
• Capacity: Approximately 1.5–2.0 qt (1.4–1.9 L).
• Interval: Inspect every 15,000 miles if used off‑road or for towing; replace 30,000–60,000 miles depending on severity.
• Pitfalls: Never use gear oil in a transfer case that calls for ATF. Confirm both fill and drain plugs break free before you start.

Front differential (4x4)

• Type/Spec: API GL‑5 75W‑90 gear oil is typical for the front differential in Titan applications.
• Capacity: About 1.2–1.6 qt (1.1–1.5 L), depending on housing.
• Interval: 30,000–60,000 miles depending on severity (mud/water crossings shorten intervals).
• Pitfalls: Clean around plugs before removal. Fill only to the bottom of the fill hole with the truck level to avoid overfilling and aeration.

Rear differential

• Type/Spec: API GL‑5 75W‑90 is specified for most conditions. In sustained heavy towing or high ambient temperatures, some builds allow 75W‑140 in the rear axle—verify for your axle code and climate.
• Axle notes: Trucks equipped with an electronic locking differential do not need friction modifier. If you have a clutch‑type limited‑slip (on some earlier trims), use GL‑5 gear oil compatible with LSD friction modifiers or add the specified modifier per the axle manufacturer.
• Capacity: Approximately 3.0–3.6 qt (2.8–3.4 L), varying by axle (e.g., M226) and whether equipped with e‑locker.
• Interval: 30,000–60,000 miles, sooner if towing or after water submersion.
• Pitfalls: Don’t mix viscosities. If switching to 75W‑140, change seasonally only if the OEM permits; otherwise stick with the specified grade year‑round.

Brake fluid

• Type/Spec: DOT 3 brake fluid (FMVSS No. 116). Nissan does not list a proprietary spec number; use a reputable DOT 3 or DOT 4 only if explicitly allowed in the owner’s manual.
• Capacity: Fill to MAX. A complete system exchange typically uses ~0.7–1.0 L.
• Interval: Every 2–3 years regardless of mileage, or if moisture/boiling point tests fail.
• Pitfalls: Keep the reservoir clean; never reuse opened fluid that’s been exposed to air for long periods. Avoid contaminating with petroleum products.

Power steering

• Type/Spec: Nissan Genuine Power Steering Fluid (PSF) or equivalent meeting Nissan’s PSF requirements. Do not substitute ATF unless the service manual for your VIN explicitly permits it.
• Capacity: Roughly 1.0–1.3 qt (0.95–1.2 L) for a complete exchange; actual fill varies with hose and rack configuration.
• Interval: No fixed interval; inspect fluid condition every service. Consider exchange at 60,000–100,000 miles in severe service.
• Pitfalls: Air entrapment after service can cause noise—bleed with wheels off the ground and engine off initially, then with engine idling.

Windshield washer fluid

• Type: Use a quality premixed washer fluid appropriate for your climate (bug remover for summer, de‑icer for winter). Avoid straight water in freezing conditions.
• Capacity: Approximately 3–4 qt (2.8–3.8 L).
• Interval: Top off as needed. Clean the cap/neck to prevent debris entering the tank.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

• 2025 applicability: Not applicable—2025 Titan is gasoline only.
• Reference for earlier diesel Titans (2016–2019): Use DEF meeting ISO 22241. Store sealed, away from heat. Never add fuel additives to the DEF tank.

Always verify final fluid selection and capacity in the owner’s manual or OEM service information for your exact VIN. Manufacturing updates, axle/transmission choices, and regional packages can change specs.
