Choosing 2005 Nissan Armada Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Nissan Armada tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive.

It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Nissan Armada.

  • Why does my Nissan engine sound different?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Nissan Armada engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change.

Frequently Asked Nissan Armada Tire Repair Questions

If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.

2005 Nissan Armada Maintenance Questions

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Nissan Armada?  You know your Nissan Armada better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Nissan Armada?  Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil.

It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Nissan Armada engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Nissan?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Nissan Armada, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Commonly Asked Nissan Armada Battery Questions

Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • How long do car batteries last?  A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.

2005 Nissan Armada Oil Change Service

Nissan recommends having your 2005 Nissan Armada’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Outside of Nissan-recommended oil change intervals, your Armada may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Nissan recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2005 Nissan Armada motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Nissan Armada oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil.

2005 Nissan Armada Oil Change Questions

  • What does it mean if my Nissan Armada oil light comes on?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Nissan Armada oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Can I change my Nissan oil on my own?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan exhaust smoke gray or blue?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Armada can determine what kind of service it needs. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

Questions About 2005 Nissan Armada Engine Tune-Ups

  • What happens if my Nissan Armada spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Nissan’s recommendations.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Nissan Armada? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Nissan Armada. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Nissan Armada need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Armada fuel injectors. Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.

2005 Nissan Armada Suspension Service & Repair

During the first few years you had your 2005 Nissan Armada, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Armada jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Nissan Armada, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2005 Armada Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What can cause my Nissan Armada to have a bouncy ride?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Armada goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Armada's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Armada's steering and suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Convenient & Local 2005 Nissan Armada A/C Service

Our technicians will work to solve your 2005 Nissan Armada A/C problems to the best of their ability. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2005 Nissan Armada A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2005 Nissan Armada, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Nissan guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

2005 Nissan Armada A/C System FAQs

  • Why is my Armada A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Armada’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why won’t my Armada’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Armada is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

Transmission Services for 2005 Nissan Armada

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Armada’s performance. Nissan Armada transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Nissan Armada transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Armada isn’t working at all. Our technicians know how to service your 2005 Armada up to Nissan-recommended standards. As soon as you suspect something’s wrong with your Armada’s transmission, book an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help diagnose, treat, and prevent major transmission issues.

2005 Nissan Armada Transmission Q&A

  • When should I have my Armada's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Caring for your Nissan Armada’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Nissan, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Nissan Armada?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Nissan Armada, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Is it okay to drive a Armada with a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Armada if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.

2005 Nissan Armada Radiator Repair & Service

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2005 Nissan Armada is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Nissan recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

Questions About Nissan Armada Radiators

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Nissan?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What can cause my Armada to overheat?  One of the main reasons your Nissan Armada engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • My Armada radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up?  Your Armada’s cooling system could contain air pockets or your radiator might be clogged. Another possibility is a faulty radiator cap, which is an easy fix!
