Fitment & sizes

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

From the factory this vehicle uses 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 Note the factory front wiper blades is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known.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 Nissan Murano’s federal record demonstrates a strong downward trend in complaints and recalls across its generation, dropping from early highs like 986 complaints in 2005 and 201 complaints in 2015 to single-digit figures in recent model years. The 2023 model year sits at the lowest point of this maturity arc alongside 2022 and 2024, recording only 6 complaints, 0 recalls, and 0 investigations. The limited 2023 complaints primarily involve Service Brakes (2), Structure (1), and Forward Collision Avoidance (1), with 2 crash reports and 0 fire reports, though the data does not specify a root cause for these isolated issues. Because 2023 represents the culmination of years of refinements with virtually no federal safety interventions, it implies a high degree of manufacturing stability. Consequently, the 2023 Nissan Murano is an excellent, low-risk year to purchase on the used market.
