2014 Nissan Juke

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 Juke.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (AV-S6)

The 2014 Nissan Juke is a compact SUV built on Nissan’s X platform, powered by a four‑sylinder engine that requires 4.7 qt of 5W‑30 API oil and mated to an AV‑S6 automatic transmission; it earns EPA ratings of 27 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 29 mpg combined. Its best‑selling model year, the Juke offers a distinctive, wedge‑shaped silhouette that sets it apart from conventional crossovers, while the low maintenance oil requirement speaks to its practicality. In the broader reliability landscape, the Juke’s 2014 iteration sits in the middle of a relatively mild complaint window—from 153 complaints in 2011 down to 14 in 2017—suggesting that owners of this year generally experience fewer issues than earlier models, with the engine remaining the most common point of concern.

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 35 · 550 CCA battery, OE oil filter 1520865F0E. Note the factory front wiper blades is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known.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 5,000 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 2014 Nissan Juke represents a marked improvement over the troubled launch years of 20112013, with complaints dropping to 57 from 102 in 2013 and 153 in 2011, while recalls held steady at 2. This model year falls squarely in the middle of a consistent downward trajectory for complaints that continues through 2017, suggesting Nissan resolved early production issues without introducing new systemic defects. Top complaint categories include Engine and Power Train (7 each), Air Bags (6), and Fuel/Propulsion System (5), though the data does not specify root causes; the year also logged 7 crash-related complaints and 1 fire complaint. Technical Service Bulletins declined significantly to 93 from 126 in 2013 and 133 in 2015, indicating fewer documented repair patterns than surrounding model years. Given its position on the declining side of the complaint curve with substantially reduced federal filings compared to 2011–2013 examples, the 2014 model represents a relatively stable year in the Juke’s generation and a sounder used-car purchase than earlier production.
