2022 Nissan Murano

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

Transmission Automatic (AV-S7)

The 2022 Nissan Murano pairs an Automatic (AV-S7) transmission with an engine specified to hold 5.1 quarts of 0W-20 API SN oil, returning an EPA-rated 19 city, 27 highway, and 22 combined mpg. From a reliability standpoint, this model year presents a remarkably stable profile, recording just five total owner complaints—primarily categorized under "Unknown Or Other"—alongside zero recalls. This low volume of issues places the 2022 iteration far removed from the model's historically problematic 2005 peak of 986 complaints, aligning it much closer to the record low of a single complaint seen in 2026, which indicates a highly refined and well-sorted vehicle for researchers to evaluate.

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 47 · 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 Note the factory front wiper blades is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known.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 7,500 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant every 7,500 mi. The big-interval services (every 7,500 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 Murano sits near the end of its generation’s lifecycle, and the federal record shows it is an exceptionally clean year. With only 5 complaints, zero recalls, and zero investigations, it outperforms nearly every prior model year—especially the 2015–2017 period, which saw hundreds of complaints and multiple recalls. The trend across the generation reveals a steady decline in reported issues after the 2015 redesign, and 2022 represents the low point in complaints alongside 2008. While the data does not specify root causes for the few complaints (mostly “Unknown or Other”), the absence of recalls and investigations suggests no systemic problems emerged. Compared to the slightly higher complaint counts in 2021 (16) and 2023 (6), the 2022 model is among the most trouble-free of the entire generation. **Takeaway:** This is a strong year to buy, offering proven reliability with minimal federal action.
