2025 Nissan Armada

[GenSan]

Not comfortable with high oil level reading after highway run.

So I changed oil filter and about 250 ml came out.

It is a very sturdy frame for sure. And honestly in the engine bay all the exposed wiring is tightly wrapped in this grayish electrical tape. You can tell the engineers and the factory workers that these we're produced went the extra step for all the little things that often get overlooked.

The rise in Gold and Silver spot prices has really given my finances a shot in the arm.
So when I come back to the US I may actually consider a Y63. (Though I am still very happy with my Y62)

I also prefer slightly under max mark.
maybe 85% between the min and the max.

So the 250ml from the oil filter was enough to lower level where it does not trip the warning to please reduce oil level after highway use. And the max hash above the text IS truly the max level and not last hash.

And what's the reasoning behind this?

Thermal expansion. I'll try and get it to hash mark before MAX.

This thing is a torque monster for sure. 103 more torque than the previous Armada with a V8.

So If the manufacturer specs say 6 quarts oil with a filter. How much oil do you put in?

Depends on vehicle. Personally would drop 5.5 quarts first and then fine tune the remainder to the level I want on the dipstick.

Does not it have a physical dipstick?

It does but the digital one seems precise.

I have changed mine twice replaced with 6 quarts, have not had the digital oil fill gauge go over or close to the max.

Thanks appreciate the update!

Just completed first DIY oil change and same results my friend. 6 quarts and exactly where I want it on the digital dipstick.

TFL Truck reports that Armada sales are up 24% in the third quarter of this year. The Toyota Sequoia is down 2.4%.

Armada is better vehicle than current Sequoia in every possible way.

Coming from a Toyota guy the past 4 decades this is the absolute truth. Shame on Toyota for resting on its Laurels.

When I was purchasing last year 2018 Sequoia, I found 2023 Sequoia with same price. The depreciation tells you everything one needs to know.

Their engines' grenading didn't help their resale value either.

Well yeah. And than that mickey mouse trunk.
I always say, they made that car for YouTube bro’s who wanted solid axle in the rear.
