2007 Nissan Titan

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

Body TRUCKTransmission Automatic 5-spd

The 2007 Nissan Titan is a truck running a five-speed automatic transmission and an engine requiring 6.6 quarts of 5W-30 API oil, achieving EPA ratings of 12 mpg city, 17 highway, and 14 combined. With 139 owner complaints and just two recalls on record, this model year occupies a middle ground in the 2004–2020 production timeline, registering far fewer grievances than the 1,046 logged during the 2004 launch year yet remaining well above the line’s 2014 low of ten units. This positions the 2007 Titan as a stabilized iteration where powertrain concerns—still the top complaint category—had settled from early volatility, offering researchers a benchmark for mid-cycle reliability that stands between the initial production surge and the minimal complaint volume seen in later model years.

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

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 24F · 650 CCA battery, OE oil filter 152089E01A. Note the factory battery and front wiper blades are now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known.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.

Across this generation, federal complaints for the Nissan Titan peaked at 1,046 in 2004 before steadily declining to 430 in 2006, establishing a clear downward trend in early production issues. The 2007 model year sits at the bottom of this initial complaint arc, dropping to just 139 complaints and hitting a low of only 2 recalls, compared to 6 or 7 recalls in the surrounding early years. This trajectory implies that Nissan successfully resolved many of the launch-year flaws by 2007, though a subsequent rebound to 6 recalls in 2008 indicates some lingering regulatory actions. For the 2007 Titan specifically, powertrain problems dominate the complaint record with 50 reports, followed by engine and suspension issues at 6 each; the data does not specify the root causes for these failures. Given its position as the most stable year in the early production run with the lowest recall volume, the 2007 Titan is a comparatively strong used buy within its generation, provided you secure a pre-purchase inspection focused on the powertrain.
