Looking to buy. Salesman said it is not required - only recommended. I showed him the literature in Nissan's manual that says premium is required. He said it is wrong and premium is only recommended for better horsepower, mileage, etc.
Titan owners use premium fuel?

Typical salesman talk, they'll say almost anything to get you to buy,......
Actually, the owners manual for the Titan says that 87 octane (regular) or better is recommended. Page 9-3, first sentence of first paragraph on page. And I quote...
"Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87..."
You can use higher octane if you wish, but you do not need to. Also, if you look at the inside of the gas door, you will not see a sticker telling you to use premium gasoline.
Your salesman is 100% correct.
To bad the salesman is 100% correct. You can easily verify his info in the owners manual and the inside of the gas door.
I'm there. Now, all I need to do is decide on a color. This is so exciting. Leaning towards the red ( I like the dark Red colors) or the smoke. Dark blue is my favorite , but they don't offer it.
Have you seen the Deep Water Blue? It is a dark blue with green tones metallic paint (but not like the Majestic blue). It looks good, it is different.
The top four colors in my store are...
- Smoke - Just an awesome color.
- Silver - Everybody buys silver.
- Red Brawn - This is my personal favorite. Plus, I live in IN where big red trucks are the law.
- Galaxy - Very Sexy
The other colors are running pretty even for 5th place.
I like the Canteen (army green FYI) too. I did take me a while to get used to the metallic flake in the Galaxy. But I agree with you, I prefer solid black to metallic any day of the week.
I waz waitin' for someone to call themselves "top poster".
LMAO
some type of automobile that requires more then 87 octane to run must be built like junk in my own opinion.
Somebody on the deisgn team must have thought the engine needed more then 87 otherwise it would not have been in the guide you read. sounds scary to me with gas prices these days i stick with regular.
The factory is right. Nissan doesn't have the know-how to get lots of power out of 87 octane fuel.
LOL.
