There was a "cease and desist notice" posted but for some reason that is now missing from the site. We're trying to find a solution, but for now we're complying with a law firm representing Nissan North America that says they'll take legal action if we allow access to the FSM's.

I actually had to take mine down due to the files were on my personal Google Account, which literally has my photo and personal information. However, since I do help out others and I do revolt against BS corporations like this, I am literally giving out the 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue FSM to members who ask me.

I'm sorry when you accessed those resources on this website you were not able to find the information you were looking for. They might not be perfect, but hey, they are provided at no cost to our members.

The AT section of the FSM usually tells you how to check, refill, remove, reassemble etc.
Within the area it discusses refilling, it should direct you to the maintenance (MA) section, where the fluid types and capacities are usually listed.

Conversely, you can go to your owner's manual and go to the Technical and Consumer information section. The Fluids & Recommended lubricants will be listed somewhere in the beginning. The info you're looking for is there.
If your vehicle did not come with a physical copy of an owner's manual, type "year, make, model + owners manual" into Google and you should be able to find a link to a digital copy, sometimes from the auto manufacturer themselves.

yes thanks for your help Ed. i was thinking what i read was from the factory. if it is or not it is VERY poorly done. what must have happened to me is the factory manuals i have used since 1965 was way better than the other brands. but ill get by. as i do do very little work my self om trucks. and the dealer i use seams to be very good.

I am in the same boat as the Kjart who started this thread. I just registered and I can't seem to access the FSM's. I go through the links to get to them and the drop down for my vehicle (2002 Pathfinder) and all the others, are just a history and description of the vehicle. I do not see any links to pdfs. Am I missing something? Are they still up? I'm on a mac using Chrome.

Hi there,
I have a VK56DE swapped Navara, I have just removed the engine due to an unknown knocking sound and need the service manual.
When I click on the blue tab of the Titan manual it won’t open the manual just a short paragraph about the Titan opens up. Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards.

In '17 Nissan changed their FSM's from PDF to HTML, and a couple years back they stopped selling the HTML manuals on CD. The only way to get FSM's beyond '16 is to rent access.

Remember, these are MASSIVE documents. Not everything is TikTok instantaneous.

Slow down, give it a few minutes to load. Just confirmed functionality via PC and mobile... Keep in mind, mobile is NOT advised (due to the size of the files).

Thanks, and welcome aboard!
