About 2018 Nissan Titan XD Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan Titan XD tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Nissan Titan XD.

This is just your Titan XD testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Your Questions About Nissan Titan XD Tire Repair, Answered

  • Is temporary sealant bad for my Nissan's tires? A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.
  • What is causing the tires on my Titan XD to keep losing air?  If your Titan XD tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

Answers to Your Nissan Titan XD Car Battery Questions

  • Why won’t my Nissan Titan XD battery hold a charge?  A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • How long do car batteries last?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Titan XD’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Titan XD car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

2018 Nissan Titan XD Oil Change Service

Nissan recommends changing your 2018 Titan XD’s oil at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Titan XD may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Nissan recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2018 Nissan Titan XD motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Talk with a teammate and consult your owner's manual before picking a motor oil.

2018 Nissan Titan XD Oil Change Q&A

  • What does it mean if my Nissan Titan XD oil light comes on?  Your Nissan Titan XD oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • How hard is it to change Nissan Titan XD oil at home?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan Titan XD exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Titan XD’s power on the road.

During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your Titan XD’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Titan XD: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

*Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate for full terms and conditions on warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2018 Nissan Titan XD

  • What happens if my Nissan Titan XD spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Nissan’s recommendations.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Nissan Titan XD mean? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How often should I clean my Nissan Titan XD fuel injectors? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

2018 Titan XD Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 2018 Nissan Titan XD, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Titan XD jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Nissan Titan XD in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

2018 Nissan Titan XD Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why does my Nissan Titan XD bounce so much?  Excessive bouncing in your Nissan Titan XD might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Titan XD's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Titan XD's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Nissan's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

2018 Nissan Titan XD A/C Service Near You

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2018 Nissan Titan XD A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2018 Nissan Titan XD’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Nissan Titan XD, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Nissan’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2018 Nissan Titan XD A/C Systems

  • Why is my Titan XD A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Titan XD's A/C system.
  • Why won’t my Titan XD’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Titan XD is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

2018 Nissan Titan XD Transmission Service & Repairs

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. 2018 Nissan Titan XD transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Nissan Titan XD transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Titan XD at all. Our expert techs are familiar with 2018 Titan XD services and perform them according to Nissan-recommended specifications.

2018 Nissan Titan XD Transmission Questions & Answers

  • When should I have my Titan XD's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Maintaining your Nissan Titan XD transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Nissan. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Nissan Titan XD?  Yes. Nissan Titan XD transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Should I avoid driving my Nissan Titan XD if there is a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Titan XD with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

In fact, Nissan recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Nissan Titan XD cooling system.

Common Nissan Titan XD Radiator Questions

  • What does the coolant light on my Nissan dashboard mean?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down.
