Changing Engine Oil

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury:
  • Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
  • Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible. Avoid inhalation of vapors, ingestion, and prolonged contact with used engine oil.
  • If not reused, dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations
  1. Remove engine under cover. Refer to Removal and Installation .
  2. Warm up engine, and check for engine oil leaks. Refer to Inspection .
    NOTE: Operate the engine until the coolant temperature reaches 60°C (140°F).
  3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
  4. Loosen oil filler cap, then remove drain plug.
  5. Drain engine oil.
    NOTE:
    • Be sure to use a container that can hold at least 12 quarts of lubricating oil.
    • The factory fill oil may include a red dye 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 after approximately 4-5 oil changes.

  7. Refill with new engine oil. Refer to Standard and Limit .
    CAUTION:
    • The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifications for reference only.
    • Always use the oil level gauge to determine when the proper amount of engine oil is in the engine.
  8. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leaks.
    NOTE:
    • Operate the engine until the coolant temperature reaches 60°C (140°F).
    • Engine oil pressure must be indicated on the gauge within 15 seconds after starting. If oil pressure is not registered within 15 seconds, shut the engine off immediately to reduce the possibility of engine damage. Confirm that the correct oil level is in the oil pan.
  9. Shut the engine off. Wait approximately 10 minutes to let the oil drain from the upper parts of the engine. Check the level again.
    NOTE: Add oil as necessary to bring the oil level to the H (high) mark on the dipstick.
