If you have the off-road package, then you must remove the little door on the skid-plate to access the drain plug. If you have a non-OR, then you must remove the entire panel (4 screws at the corners.) I think the owners manual covers this.

You have to remove the what to get to the who? What truck you drivin"?....lol. You have to remove the panal in the skid plate to change the oil filter....but not for anything else.
The oil drain plug will be the only plug you'll find closer to the passenger side of the rear skid plate (piece of tin really). It's easily seen and accessed without removing anything.
for a first time i would take the skid plate off and just explore around regardless if you have the OR one with the door or not.
the oil pan is 99% the lowest black part of the engine with a little nut thing sticking out of it. the transmission is usually silver (or simply aluminum) so it's hard to mistake.
But a least from what I saw of other post, I did see where the oil filter is.
I just wanted to confirm what I had already kinda figured. I saw the drain plug for the oil pan and the transmission fluid and wanted to make sure before I started. Like they say measure twice cut once.
I wonder where I might find a really good engine diagram. The titan manual's picture were not that great for locating the oil pan.
Again, thanks and I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving.
As far as diagrams go, you might want to download the Nissan Service Manual. It's got all kinds of diagrams. It is very detailed and I have found it very helpful. Here's a link:

I'm glad to hear you don't mind the ribbing.

Good morning I have a question I'm a owner of a 2013 Nissan 4dr Titan an I've discovered some oil leaking out of my truck an it's by the front passenger tire. Now I had my oil changed last month an everything seemed fine. But for the last 2 days my oil light thing came on but my dash indicators doesn't show any problems? But after the indicator light came up I checked my oil last night an I had no oil in the truck an I see it's leaving oil on my drive way. I had 2 quarts of oil in the shed so I put them in there but it looks like they r leaking out pretty fast. I'm a 65yr old lady an I don't know what to do. This truck has never given me any problems at all. HELP!!!
Maybe get under and see where the oil is dripping out from. Maybe the drain plug is loose and about to fall out? I would drive the other car till you find out what's up though
