Nissan Rogue Parts, Specs and Maintenance Guide

The Nissan Rogue is Nissan's best-selling US vehicle, a compact crossover whose 2012–2025 run splits into three very different machines with one shared theme: the Xtronic CVT transmission, which is both the Rogue's efficiency trick and its most notorious failure point. 5L QR25DE on 5W-30 with an early Jatco CVT that whines, overheats, and fails often enough that Nissan extended CVT warranties on earlier years, 2012–2013 missed that extension. The T32 (2014–2020) kept the QR25DE but moved to 0W-20 and a newer CVT that still drew a class-action settlement extending coverage to 84 months/84,000 miles on 2014–2018 models; it also added a short-lived Rogue Hybrid (2017–2019) and an AEB system that NHTSA investigated for phantom braking.

5L KR15DDT VC-Turbo three-cylinder, an engine now under two NHTSA recalls (25V-437, 26V-080) for bearing failures, which makes strict 0W-20 synthetic oil service non-negotiable. 3, lug torque stays 83 ft-lbs, the key fob takes a CR2032, and Nissan NS-2/NS-3 CVT fluid (never generic ATF) plus 5,000-mile oil changes are the cheapest insurance a Rogue owner can buy.
