This page distinguishes source-backed fields, unresolved conflicts and unverified legacy records for the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. Match the exact hardware and manual conditions before maintenance. A source for one field does not verify the other specifications.

Field evidence: Lug nut torque confirmed against 2017 Nissan Pathfinder Owner's Manual, Wheel nut tightening torque (quoted) (https://www.nissanusa.com/content/dam/Nissan/us/manuals-and-guides/pathfinder/2017/2017-Nissan-Pathfinder-owner-manual.pdf). OEM wheels and lug nuts as specified in the owner's manual engine: 3.5L V6; trim: S Lug nut socket size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut thread size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut part number is not verified; no specification is assumed.

Nissan and Infiniti often use fine-pitch wheel studs on passenger models, but the exact thread, socket and torque are still vehicle-specific. Confirm the recorded row and never cross-thread lug nuts borrowed from a neighboring make.

Common fastener categories on the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

Repair guidance for this model year

For 2017 model-year work: This era introduced widespread torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts on head, main, and crank pulley fasteners. TTY bolts stretch permanently when torqued and must not be reused — the spec calls for a fresh bolt every time. Always verify TTY status against the FSM before reassembly.
