2007 Nissan Quest

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Quest.

Body VANTransmission Automatic 5-spd

The 2007 Nissan Quest is a van equipped with a five‑speed automatic transmission and an engine that requires 4.2 qt of 5W‑30 API oil, delivering EPA‑rated fuel economy of 16/23/19 mpg. It carries one recall and logged 228 owner complaints, with the Fuel/Propulsion System being the top trouble area. Compared with the model’s complaint history from 1991‑2017—where the 1991 year saw just one complaint and the 2004 peak reached 445—the 2007 model falls in the middle of that range. This positions the 2007 Quest at a moderate reliability standing for its generation.

Fitment & sizes

Replacement part sizes and factory part numbers — battery, bulbs, filters and belts.

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 24F · 550 CCA battery, OE oil filter 1520865F0E. Note the factory battery is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 3,750 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant every 3,750 mi. The big-interval services (every 3,750 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 2007 Nissan Quest recorded 228 consumer complaints, 1 recall and 1 investigation, with a total of 80 TSBs. Its complaint volume exceeds the 74 complaints logged in 2006 and the 50 complaints recorded in 2008, marking a distinct spike after a multi‑year decline from the 445 complaints of 2004. While recalls remained low (1 in 2007 versus 1 in 2006 and 3 in 2008), the presence of an investigation and the concentration of 59 fuel/propulsion complaints highlight recurring system concerns. In the broader generational pattern, 2007 sits at the peak of a complaint rebound following the 2004 high, suggesting a temporary escalation rather than a sustained trend. Consequently, the 2007 model should be approached with heightened scrutiny and a thorough mechanical inspection before purchase.
