    Such a great video...I'm 71 years old... and this went from a potential nightmare to a piece of cake repair thanks to you. I'm hoping that this was the cause of my leak. It appeared to be leaking from around the oil cooler for some time because there was a lot of dirt stuck on the oil cooler.Harbor Freight had a Presidents Day sale on torque wrenches and I picked one up for $9.99 plus the $3.79 for the gasket. Thanks

    This is one of the best How To videos I've come across and thanks to dial2fast, I was able to successfully replace the oil cooler O-ring on my 2007 G35X (Nissan's VQ 6-cyl engine). The difficulty factor is a 1 out of 5 and is about a 10 minute job for those 20 and under (and about 2 hours for those 60 and older :). As dial2fast has indicated, draining the oil is not necessary unless you plan to change your oil anyway. Note, you will lose about 1/2 quart of oil if not draining the oil.
    For those with a G35, here are a few notes that may help:
    Tools/materials for the job: oil pan, flashlight, phone camera, rubber gloves, paper towels, trash can, 10mm socket w/ short extension, 22mm deep socket, large breaker bar (for nut removal), pick or small screw driver to remove old O-Ring, Oil Filter wrench, new O-Ring (avail on Amazon or Nissan dealer), Carb Cleaner spray, Super Lube Silicone Lubricating Compound.
    On any car, be sure to take the necessary precaution when jacking. If using a hydraulic jack, be sure to also use sold jack stands.
    1. Remove the plastic shroud to gain clear access to oil filter housing. There are fourteen 10mm bolts (using a cordless impact driver will make quick work of this).
    2. Remove the oil filter and using a breaker bar and the 22mm socket, loosen and remove the oil filter housing center nut/nipple. Note, the shoulders of the nut are shallow so be sure to hold the socket tight up against the nut to prevent stripping the nut shoulders. And, as stated many times over, there is no need to remove the cooler hoses.
    3. Pull the oil filter housing away from the cooler and allow the oil to drain for about 5-10 minutes (about 1/2 quart will drain).
    4. Remove the old O-ring (yes, it looks fine - looks are deceiving). Using the flash, take a picture of both sides of the housing. You will notice grime. This needs to be removed carefully without allowing the grime to enter the housing. Use a rag to cover the internal as well as possible and use a paper towel to remove most of the grime from both sides. Then spray Carb Cleaner or Brake Cleaner on both halves of the housing to achieve a clean surface, especially where the O-ring seats. Then take another picture to validate that no grime particles are remaining that could inhibit the O-ring seal (I find the camera does a better job than attempting to do a live visual since the camera can reach up into the cavity).
    5. Using the Super Lube Silicone grease (or use clean motor oil if grease is unavailable), lubricate the O-ring and seat it as shown in the video.
    6. Carefully re-align and mate the two halves and re-insert the center threaded nipple using the 22mm socket. Note again, this is torqued to 36 foot lbs (about 1/2 the torque normally used on most wheel lug nuts).
    7. Wipe any excess oil on the undercarriage, reinstall the shroud, and top off the oil. Thanks to this great video, your oil leak should be solved.

    I had difficulty getting the new O ring in the groove as I was doing it by feel , matched it with the old one and thought this isn't the same ,
    Then I checked your video and you specifically mention the replacement is bigger . Well done that reassured me , I inserted a large screwdriver in the hole and twisted the housing so I could actually see what I was doing and VOIL.

    I can't thank you enough for your video which gave me clear and concise directions and amazing visual footage in order to successfully fix my oil leak. What I cannot understand is why the Nissan dealer charges over 200 bucks for a job that requires a five dollar part and is almost as easy and expeditious as an an oil change.

    I just wanted to follow up. I went from having the Exxon Valdez oil spill in my driveway to a mere drip or so. So I'd say 99% of my oil was leaking from this seal. Thank you so much for posting this. I thought there was something catastrophic going on with her car, so not only was this an easy fix, but cheap as well. I'm at around 176,000 miles, so if I can get another year or two out of her, I'll be good to go!

    2008 Nissan Altima 3.5 V6.The O-Ring part # 72493 did not fit my oil cooler (which calls for this vehicle). It was to big in diameter. After doing some research at the auto parts store and some comparing with the old one, Oil Cooler O-ring part # 917-036 (came with a set of 3) matched up identical to the old 1 and fits. For those looking and searching, I hope this helps.

    Thank you for the clear cut video. My oil cooler seal started leaking as well and not too long after the last oil change. I noticed that my metal coolant return line is rusting (not leaking yet). I think I'm going to replace the oil cooler seal as well as the metal coolant pipe and all the hoses as a preventative measure for the future.

    @dannygren1790 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the pictures of where the new gasket was supposed to go as it wasn't obvious since mine was also stuck to the back surface. I wish I had de-greased and hosed the whole area down before I replaced the gasket as the leaking oil had attracted much road grit which was hard to keep away from the inner oil cooler surfaces.. I had the best luck getting the new gasket in by placing the new gasket at the bottom of the cooler groove and working a finger from each hand along the sides until meeting at the top and popping in the remaining gasket portion. Another observation - the retaining bolt didn't feel to be especially tight when I removed it, and the old gasket didn't seem damaged/deteriorated in any way. I wonder, if I had just re-torqued the bolt to 36 ft-lbs without replacing the gasket, might the oil leak have also gone away?

      dial2fast Just watched those 5 videos. I'm at 99k miles, so it's time for new spark plugs, but that would be the biggest job I've ever done. Should I wait for a valve cover gasket leak first? Change it out as a preventative measure since I'll already be there?

    • @thedowg1
      @thedowg1 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      dial2fast Also, I'm going to put together a video about replacing the passenger side CV axle on my 2008 Quest. It didn't have the typical bad CV axle symptoms (clicking when turning). Instead, this bad CV axle would cause vibration anytime the accelerator was engaged (accelerating, or going uphill). When you took your foot off the accelerator, vibrations stopped. Vibrations got worse as a month or two passed. Vibrations were most noticeable from 40-70mph. I believe the inside joint/boot was bad on the culprit.

    One clarification: You didn't have to drain the oil before this procedure? You just lost a little when removing the filter and cooler?

    Good video but I have a question. Did you check the relief valve that is behind the cooler nestled in the engine block? There's a spring loaded steel ball in that that can sometimes go bad that can cause too much pressure and you'll be back at it in a few months. You can press that to check if it's still good. Too easy to press is no good. If you took that out at some point do you have any tips to remove it?

    On my 2004 Infiniti I35 that has about 70K miles, I was losing about a quart of oil every several weeks of freeway driving. No smoke. No oil on the driveway. I did not remove the oil cooler. Just torqued it down to 36 foot pounds and put the same filter back on and that solved the leak. Apparently not always necessary to change the cooler gasket.

    Thanks! I think this is the source of an oil leak on my 2006 nissan murano. Have you heard of muranos having this same issue? Going to try to replace this soon and ill let you know if it solves the issue.

      I am not sure about the Murano, but both engines are almost identical.

      was the oil cooler the cause of your leak?

    Great video! my dealer wants $322 to do this. I'm still debating if I want to try it but I just replaced my serpentine belt so I'm feeling a little cocky!

    • @earl3288
      @earl3288 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mike O'Neill $322?! That's insane. I am having the same issue with my Xterra and and replacing mine. Literally a 30 minute job. I drained my oil since it was time for an oil change. Take the filter off, unscrew the bolt, take the old o-ring out. Clean off surfaces (I used a paper towel) and then replace it all. The o-ring was $5.00 at the Nissan dealership. Autozone and advanced didn't carry it. I paid less than $35 total, including the oil change! If you can do an oil change and replace a serpentine, you've got this! Just make sure you torque it correctly! Good luck :-)

    Did you drain engine oil out by removing the engine oil drain plug? Or you just removed oil cooler and oil filter and put them back? and added 1/4 quart of oil? Thanks

  • @RuthlessWave00
    @RuthlessWave00 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've read other articles on this and they suggest draining the engine coolant and oil first. I saw your comment about not needing to drain the oil since the filter is above the pan but what about the coolant? Thanks. Great video. I'm ready to do on my 04 Maxima.

    • @dial2fast
      @dial2fast  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you remove the coolant line, then you have just created more work for yourself as once air enters the coolant line, now you will have to bleed it. The Nissan can be a pain to bleed all the air out of the coolant system. There is just no need to mess with the coolant line (as shown in the video).

    Great video. I've a 2006 altima 3.5 had an oil cooler gasket leak around 165k. I took it to shop and they're saying we need to replace all 3 gaskets oil cooler, valve and oil pan. Should I just change oil cooler or do all gaskets together ?

    • @dial2fast
      @dial2fast  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You need to fix what's leaking. Check those items out to diagnose the issue first.

    Hello. I have a 2008 3.5 Altima. It is NOT leaking oil externally, but Is leaking oil into coolant system. Oddly, there is no coolant in the engine oil. Wondering if this oil cooler can cause my symtoms, or if its the head gasket, or? I thought there would be coolant in the oil if the head/gasket was damaged?

  • @GodWasAnAlien
    @GodWasAnAlien 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Would this be the cause of black sludge in the coolant reservoir or would that require a replacement cooler? Thanks
