2023 Nissan Armada

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 Armada.

Transmission Automatic (S7)

The 2023 Nissan Armada pairs its 5W-30 API engine oil—filled at 6.5 quarts—with an Automatic (S7) transmission, while EPA estimates land at 14/19/16 mpg city/highway/combined. In the reliability record, this model year has drawn just five owner complaints and zero recalls, with visibility/wiper issues standing out as the top reported area. That performance sits near the lower end of the Armada's 2004–2026 complaint history, a range that peaked at 462 complaints in 2004 and bottomed at one in 2016, making the 2023 a comparatively quiet year for researchers to evaluate.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2023 Nissan Armada recorded just five consumer complaints and no recalls or investigations, marking one of the lowest complaint counts in the generation’s recent history. Compared with the preceding years, complaints fell from eight in 2022 and twelve in 2021, while recalls remained absent from 2020 through 2024. The trend shows a sustained low‑incident period from 2020 to 2024, with complaints staying in the single‑digit range and recalls at zero. After 2024, complaints rose to nineteen in 2025 and recalls reappeared, indicating that 2023 sits near the trough of this arc. Consequently, the 2023 model year presents a favorable option for a used purchase based on its minimal reported issues.
