The Armada is Nissan's full-size SUV. The first generation uses the 5.6-liter VK56 V8 on the F-Alpha platform. The second (2017 to 2024) is based on the Patrol Y62. The 2025 model uses a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6.


Your 2013 Nissan Armada is from the first-generation Armada (TA60), which covers model years 2004–2015. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2013 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2013 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “D”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 13 years old, a 2013 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
