2022 Nissan Armada

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Armada.

Transmission Automatic (S7)

The 2022 Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission, and it returns EPA fuel economy ratings of 14 mpg city, 19 mpg highway, and 16 mpg combined while holding 6.9 quarts of 0W-20 API SN viscosity oil for its engine lubrication needs; these figures position it as a traditional body-on-frame utility vehicle in the full-size SUV segment. Reliability data for this model year shows only 8 total owner complaints filed, with zero recalls, representing a dramatic improvement from the model's peak complaint year of 2004 when 462 complaints were recorded, and placing the 2022 Armada among the most refined iterations of this generation. This level of complaint reduction to near-historic lows—following a trajectory that saw complaints drop from 462 in 2004 to just 1 in 2016—indicates that Nissan addressed many of the earlier electrical system and engine concerns that had historically plagued the nameplate, making this model year one of the most dependable in the Armada's recent production history.

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 2022 Nissan Armada demonstrates strong stability within the provided federal record, posting only 8 complaints and zero recalls. This represents a significant improvement over the 2017-2019 period where complaints ranged from 72 to 81, indicating issues prevalent in those model years have largely subsided. While the 77 Technical Service Bulletins are notable, they are lower than the 139 recorded in 2018 and reflect documented service procedures rather than active safety defects. Compared to the subsequent 2023 model year, the 2022 unit shows slightly higher complaints and TSBs, but remains within the low-complaint trend established since 2020. The top complaint areas involve electrical systems and forward collision avoidance, though the data does not specify root causes for these few incidents. Given the absence of recalls and investigations alongside historically low complaint volumes, the 2022 model is a
