2025 Nissan Armada

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Armada.

Transmission Automatic (S9)

The 2025 Nissan Armada pairs a 9-speed automatic transmission with an engine requiring 6.5 quarts of 5W-30 oil, achieving EPA ratings of 16 city, 20 highway, and 18 combined mpg. Its reliability profile shows just 19 owner complaints and one recall, a figure far below the model's historical peak of 462 complaints in 2004. While not as low as the single complaint recorded for 2016, this places the 2025 Armada among the more dependable years in the nameplate's history from 2004 through 2026.

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 2025 model year registers 19 complaints and 1 recall, a notable increase from the 4 complaints and zero recalls recorded for 2024 but roughly on par with the 6 complaints and 1 recall seen for 2026, suggesting a modest uptick rather than a sustained spike. Viewed against the full generational arc, federal filings dropped dramatically after the high-volume 2004–2008 period, remained relatively subdued through 2015, spiked again in 2017–2019, then trended downward to near-historic lows between 2020 and 2024; the 2025 figures interrupt that low-activity stretch but remain far below the 72–81 complaint range of the late-2010s. With only 8 TSBs—down from 16 in 2024 and a fraction of the 139 peak in 2018—the 2025 model sits in a lower-activity phase of the cycle, though it does account for 2 crash-related complaints and zero fire complaints. The leading complaint categories for the year are Unknown or Other, Electrical System, Air Bags, and Power Train, yet the data does not specify root causes or confirm whether any of these are systemic. Given that the single recall and 19 complaints remain low by historical standards and the 2025 model is positioned within a broader low-activity trend, this year appears to be a reasonable purchase from a federal-record standpoint, provided buyers verify that the recorded recall has been completed.
