Oil Level

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD and 2018 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Use a stiff wire about 150 mm (5.9 in) long to make a dipstick gauge for measuring the oil level.
    1. On one end bend the wire into a circle shape about 25 mm (1.0 in) (A) in diameter. This becomes the dipstick gauge handle.

    2. On the opposite end, bend the wire 90 degrees 45 mm (1.8 in) (B) from that end.
    3. Measure down from the bend and make an indelible notch or mark 33 mm (1.3 in) (C) on the wire.
    4. Measure down again from the bend and make an indelible notch or mark 38 mm (1.5 in) (D) on the wire. The dipstick gauge should look as shown.
  2. Remove the filler plug with O-ring from the front final drive.
  3. Using the dipstick gauge, measure the oil level in the front final drive.
    1. Insert the notched or marked end of the dipstick gauge into the filler plug hole.
      CAUTION: Do not drop the dipstick gauge into the front final drive.
    2. Lower the dipstick gauge so that the wire of the gauge is resting on the bottom of the filler plug hole opening.
    3. Remove the dipstick gauge and check the oil level on the gauge. Verify within the specified dimension. Adjust the oil level as necessary. Refer to VK56VD Gasoline Engine : Fluids and Lubricants .
