04-07 ENGINE OIL CAPACITY FOR ALL TITANS
04-10 ENGINE OIL CAPACITY FOR ALL TITANS
The 05 owner service manual that came with my Titan lists the engine oil fluid capacity at:
6.50 (U.S. Measure) quarts with OEM oil filter change.
NOTE: This puts the oil ~ 1/2 - 5/8 between the lower and upper marks on the dipstick not at the top = "NORMAL" <img src='http://www.titanspot.com/Titan/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/004.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smt005' />
6.25 (U.S. Measure) quarts without OEM filter change.
The specifications call for the replacement oil to have a rating of:
API Certification Mark *2*3
API grade SL
Energy Conserving *2*3
ILSAC grade GF-III *2*3
NOTE: *2*3 information in Titan manual.
The NISSAN SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE that came with my Titan lists the following MAINTENANCE SERVICE SCHEDULE dates for changing the engine oil and filter:
PREMIUM MAINTENANCE: 3,750 miles or 3 Months
Shcedule 1 Maintenance: 3,750 miles or 3 Months
Schedule 2 Maintenance: 7,500 miles or 6 Months
Note: Use a 14 mm socket to remove the oil drain plug and inspect the copper crush washer for replacement..Item #11026-01M02 price: 75¢
NISSAN OIL FILTER #15208 (Rated 7,500 mile max. or six months) Price: $5.95
AMSOIL OIL FILTER #EA013 (Rated 25,000 mile max. or one year) ..Retail: $17.30 Preferred Customer: $13.15
NOTE: When installing new engine oil filter hand-tighten only.
I use the AmPro T70405 2-step oil filter cup wrench to remove the oil filter ($5.39 @ Advance Auto):

6 quart mark on dipstick after engine crank and 3 minute run follwed by 30 minute cool down: ~ 1/8" above the lower mark.

6.5 quart mark on dipstick after engine crank and 3 minute run followed by 30 minute cool down: ~5/8 distance between upper and lower marks.
Comments on new oil:
1- First engine start-up @ 50°F ambient temperature results in oil pressure indicator slightly below 3/4 mark and settles to one needle mark above normal setting quickly. Previous 5-30W oil would spike oil pressure indicator to H at same start-up temperature.
2-At 58 MPH my Titan seems to have dropped 50-100 RPM's verses all other oils I've tried in the 04 and 05 Titan.
Tip on oil filling: Stand new empty oil bottles used upside down with cap on and in sun for 30-60 minutes.
One cap full of oil will remain in cap and can be added to engine for complete transfer.
Tip on oil recycling: I brought my used engine and front/rear differential oil to a local speed oil change shop.
They gladly accepted it for free as they have a heating system in the building that filters and burns the used oil in an efficient heating system.
