2023 Nissan Rogue

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

Transmission Automatic (AV-S8)

The 2023 Nissan Rogue is a compact SUV built on Nissan's CM platform and paired with an automatic CVT transmission (AV-S8), requiring 5.0 quarts of 0W-20 engine oil for maintenance, and it achieves EPA fuel economy ratings of 28 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined. This model year represents the peak of the Rogue's complaint history, with 654 owner complaints recorded between 1999-2026 (compared to just 1 in 1999), alongside 6 total recalls—with engine issues representing the most frequent concern. What this means is that while the 2023 sits at the highest point of the model's recorded complaint trajectory, the stark contrast to earlier years suggests that production quality or design refinements in newer iterations may warrant closer scrutiny for prospective buyers prioritizing long-term reliability.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 60,000 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 Rogue sits at a pronounced peak in the model's federal complaint record. After complaints moderated to 147 in 2020 and ranged between 242 and 270 for 20212022, the 2023 model jumped to 654 complaints—higher than any other year in the provided data, including the prior generation highs of 609 in 2018 and 606 in 2013—while recalls stayed flat at 6 and investigations remained at 1. The complaint concentration is heavily engine-related, with Engine (120), Engine & Engine Cooling (100), Unknown Or Other (81), and Engine/Fuel/Propulsion System (33) topping the list, plus 21 crash-related and 3 fire-related complaints. By contrast, 2024 fell back to 170 complaints and 4 recalls, suggesting the 2023 spike was not sustained in subsequent model years. Because the data does not specify root causes, the exact mechanical driver is unclear, but the volume and engine focus make 2023 a statistically risky year within this generation. For a used-car buyer, this is not the strongest choice in the recent Rogue lineup; a 2022 or 2024 example would show lower complaint volume based on this federal record.
