Hi my name is Billy and I have a ? about my titan. I bought it Dec. last year and every things awesome but, here recently my temp. gauge is going up to the H when I first start to drive it. It did not do this till here recently. I took it to the dealer and they said that it was normal. I even let them change my oil just to make sure everything was done right. I use Mobile 1 5w30. So I'm reaching out to people I know will tell me whats really normal.

Do you mean mean the pressure gauge, or the temp gauge. The temp gauge should not do that, but the pressure gauge should.
Sounds to me like his thermostat got lethargic.
Sounds like he's mistaking the oil pressure gauge for a temp gauge, which if that is the case it's normal. The cold oil is thicker so it will shoot up to "H" (High, not Hot) if you get the RPMs up before the oil warms up.

For the '08s, Nissan made it a dummy gauge due to all the "complaints" about high oil pressure when cold. It's likely just a pressure switch instead of a sensor, either that or they are limiting the signal to the gauge so it doesn't spike up.
