The sad part is I don’t trust the dealership to do as awesome of a job as you did.
I don't trust them or those Kwiky oil change places to do as good a job as I would do myself.
Just like the dr says no one cares about you body and what you do to it more then you do. I feel same goes for vehicles. 😂
Me either and they don’t
@@User-q6x3bhow did you find that out?
@@User-q6x3b ah I see, in any event it won’t hurt it.
Using a wrench for a mic = instant like
Wish all techs took the care that you do for an oil change.
Great job!
Never trust the dealership to do it right like this. This is the most thorough oil change I have ever seen. Nice
Probably the best oil change video I have ever seen .......... and the camera work is over the top. Keep up the great work !!
Thanks, will do!
excellent video showing how to deal with an absolutely horrendous design for filter location. I thought some of the GM engineers were evil, but those Nissan guys are something else
It's not that bad...come onnnn!!!
SERIOUSLY! worst engineering design ever. My first oil change I could not believe where that filter was. I might nit have bought the truck had I known too 😂
@@All-Miles-Matter Disagree. I think it really is THAT bad. I've always done as much maintenance on my trucks as possible including twice per year oil changes. This set up doesn't allow one to fully inspect, remove, install, and then TEST a new filter installation. I've seen gaskets on new filters fail when a vehicle is first started after filter replacement. I hate when engineers don't consider ease of access and maintenance; especially on a part which needs replacement with some frequency.
@@rickwhitfield7617 I am considering buying my first Nissan Frontier in 5 decades since I owned 2 Datsun pickups way back when. And I agree with you. I saw this video and immediately questioned my thinking.
I believe the engineer they hired to come up with this design of oil filter location finished last of class
Great straight forward instruction. Thanks for your time and effort in making this video. You ROCK !!!
I was just looking at these ,Not the pro -x but the sv , This makes me change my mind.
I’ve used this video twice now on my pro4X! Best one on the internet! 🎉🎉
We are glad we can help!
The oil filter drain trick with water bottle was awesome. Made this a drip free experience. Kudos!
I see an oil filter relocation adapter in the future....Great Vid-Thanks!
Yea...I need it lol horrible placement
Nice video. FYI that the 5.3 quarts spec on the new nissan engine is including the filter.... so adding a flat 5qts up top after loading the filter gets me spot on perfect.
Loved that you put the mic on the end of the wrench. I've got a 2020 with the same engine. It's almost time so this is good.
Great Video! Nice attention to detail. Impressive to see someone who cares about quality work.
Shawn, thanks for the great video! Very high quality production and super informative. I'm about to do my first oil change and this video is PERFECT! Hoping you can do a video to drain and fill the transmission. I tow with my 2022 Frontier so the trans fluid must be changed every 30K. The dealer wants $400 to perform the service!! I would like to perform the service myself :)
Thanks for the feedback, we will make a note to try show a transmission service also in the same style/quality video!
@@z1off-road Thanks! This would be a really valuable video. I don’t want to pay the dealer $400 to do it when I can most likely do it myself. Looking forward to seeing the video. If Shawn’s around please have him do it. His presentation style is outstanding!
Just want to say what an awesome video. It was straight to the point and did my oil change using the information that was provided. Again thanx for the upload!
Thank you guys this really helped me keep doing your videos.
Glad to hear it!
Excellent video! I wish I had someone as conscience as you to service my vehicles! Love the wrench microphone!
Watched the video, did the water bottle trick, it worked well! Thank you!
Holy crap! Thank you so much for the clean oil filter drain trick!
I’ve made so many messes with that!
You did a great job showing this oil change, You took your time and preformed great, I wish I had you for my mechanic. Well done !!
Nice how-to video. You guys aren't playin around using Motul oil. I've been using Motul in my Subarus for years. It's some of the best oil you can buy and because it's 100% synthetic ester based oil, you can safely run it for longer intervals.
Shawn that was a solid professional video with clear and important points made throughout. Well done sir 👍
4th oil change done on my pro4X ‘23! 40k on her and 0 issues 😊
I wish more manufacturers copy the europeans and put the oil filter directly on top of the engine bay. Easy replace, less mess.
What a rediculous location for an oil filter
Wicked stupid design for that
You don’t know the half of it. I still haven’t changed it without spilling a bit
Nice! Thanks a lot. I had to laugh at the wrench microphone until I noticed you had an actual microphone wrapped around it. 😁👍
You should ALWAYS wipe off the drain plug and the drain plug area on the pan to assure a CLEAN, leak free seal.
Great tutorial! Thanks
Wow! Good job! Good teaching video.
Perfect timing on this video because I'm getting ready to do the breaking oil change on my 22 SV crew cab. Thank you for the information. Much appreciated and I'm glad to know that I won't necessarily have to take that entire plate off but only the inspection plate for the oil filter. Thank you again for the much-needed information. 😇🛻
how many miles is the "break in change" suppose to be?
@@mafosa9563 usually the first 1,000 miles.
I had to drop the rear of the skid plate, it’s only two bolts.
Wonderful video. Going to do my next oil change myself.
Just make sure to leave the cover and skid plate off until you inspect the new filter for a leak after you add the oil and start the engine. A failed or leaking gasket will be a bitch with this poor design to clearly see and inspect your work.
good video- explains things well
Nice video, but 95% of us doing our own oil changes are NOT going to have the convenience of using a lift. Most people are probably going to have a set of ramps. Getting your hand thru that little access hold might be a bit more trying, especially laying on your back.
It’s not actually, I can reach it. I just did it on my 22 KC S 4x4
I have yet to do it on my 2023 Frontier Pro-4X, but I can easily do it on my 2015 Frontier SV.
I agree with your concern. I change oil the same way. I need to inspect the filter attachment base both to clean and then after filling with oil and running to check for leaks. This looks like a huge challenge to be able to perform.
Seeing how uncomfortable it is to not make a mess. It’s a start that I want to learn how to change my own oil
Very good presentation!
Good Video. I had a 2012 Frontier with 4.0L V6 and it was a pain to change the oil filter. It is surprising that Nissan did not change the oil filter location with this new 3.8L engine. They kept the same oil filter spot as they had with that old 4.0L engine that was in production 2005-2020. That access panel is worthless. Not all the oil drips down the metal deflector in the front , some will drip from the top and to back side. You need brake cleaner for that part. You always have to remove and install the filter from passenger side as he did. Not sure filling the oil filter and dripping some out while installing the filter is necessary.
Agree. Poor design location. My first thought when he filled the oil filter with oil is that he was going to lose some screwing filter on in a horizontal position.
Awesome video, thank you!
Damn Good Job Thanks for doing it right
Great video. Esp like the fact that you're wearing gloves.
Yes, very good video. Thank you.
Nicely done sir! Great detail on kind of a PITA process (for the oil filter).
Glad you liked it!
Extremely informative! Thank you man
Awesome video! Just bought a 2023 so I will be doing this in the future.
U ever smell a bit of gas in the oil on the dipstick during break-in?
@@User-q6x3b will check tonight, I only have 201 miles on it so far.
@@aurktman1106 ok sounds good. That's about where I'm at(215). I bought it with 40. I prefer less than 10 because I don't trust test drivers but everyone seems to say 40 is not a problem at all.
@@User-q6x3b Mine had 17, and a friend of mine actually test drove it before I did so I know about 5 of those miles were from him. I know when it was delivered to my dealer, it had 7 miles. Someone had fun for 5 miles in a test drive that will remain unknown.
@@aurktman1106 well at leat you know most of the 17. Although it says you shouldn't go crazy before 1200 in the book, guys like Raitis Rides on TH-cam redline everything in sight. It's tough to figure
The best video ever! Great information.
We are glad we could help!
Well I was thinking about buying a new Frontier, but maybe not now...changing your oil should be easy. Not stupid.
Great video. Thorough job!
Great video. But maybe leave the inspection cover and under engine shield off then run and look for leaks?
Absolutely agree with you based on experience.
Awesome video, thank you for the info 🙏
I just take off the steel skid plate make life easier and easy to clean up everything after oil change
Good basic video!!!!!!!!! Im ready now.
If I ever meet the engineer who designed this oil filter location, they might get socked in the nose. It is absurdly and unnecessarily difficult to reach this filter on the ground and hard not to make a mess. At least on my 2017 Pro4x you could easily remove the entire skid plate, giving you clear access.
Agree with you. Have no use for engineers that don't consider maintenance ease in their design; especially where this is a relatively new engine upgrade.
Ur a good dude....u can tell u enjoy ur profession.
Excellent video thanks
Nice work .
Very well done. Only suggestion is to mention the torque requirements for the bolts.
Seems like a crazy location for an oil filter. What a pain. Nissan can't you build an engine that can be serviced without taking the car apart?
Agree with the others, do you really expect the dealer or other shops to do as thorough job as you did.
I have never owned a torque wrench and have done hundreds of oil changes and never had an issue with oil leaking. Just tighten them until snug and you’ll be fine.
The SV doesn’t have the same skid plate. The inspection cover is useless except to see what you’re doing. I had to drop the rear portion of the skid plate just to get hands in a spot where I could remove the filter and install a new one. No big deal, they are just slightly different. Cool trick with the water bottle though.
Good job.
Good video. Thank you.
Great job very nice
Grea Job !
Seems like all 3 models are a little different.i have the base S model.just take the inspection plate off then take the 4 screws in front under the bumper and the 2 in the back on the skidplate.this loosens up the plate giving u enuff room to get to the filter.its a little awkward but u can do it without lifting it up.use a long ratchet handle for more turning clearance
Having crush washers on an oil drain plug is really stupid. I always had GM vehicles before the Frontier I have now and none of them ever had crush washers and they never leaked. That’s one fault I have with Asian manufacturers.
Excelent video
You guy's should make an oil filter relocation kit .
Baxter Adapters might
@@theirthereandtheyre2947 That would be useful info to know.
Well done.
AHHH! you put the plug in before removing the oil filter. after removing the old filter more oil usualy comes out, like taking your finger off the end of a straw that has water in it. also always check that the old gasket came off with the old filter and that's a crush gasket, not a washer but yes it looks that way.
Nice good job 👍 n helpful
Thanks 😊
Seems way easier than my 2021 tacoma
Love the mic bro. Lol
PIA FILTER PLACEMENT!!!
Makes me wonder if techs will just skip replacing the filter
Take a sharpie and you can reach down from the top of the engine and put a little mark on it so you’ll know if they did. I have one and I did that, they changed it.
This is kind of a hassle compared to my 2019. It's almost the same procedure except on the 2019 there's just a little access window for the filter and the oil trough is long enough you don't need to do the water bottle mod.
Awesome video, thank you for your time. Do you recommend an oil to use that can help prevent carbon buildup that’s associated with these Direct Injection engines? Will be coming up on my first oil change soon on my Frontier, thanks
We highly recommend a quality catch can kit to combat that www.z1offroad.com/engine-parts/oil-catch-can-c-6_14_83521.html
Good video overall, i was hoping to learn the socket size for the 4 shield bolts though. Sad face.
At first I was thinking, why was is he holding a spanner 😂
What the heck is with truck manufacturers putting the oil filter up in that inaccessible spot that's terrible! But nice job
Ok, here's a problem with your procedure. If you replace cover and skid plate right away before filling with oil and running the engine, how are you to determine that the gasket on your oil filter is good to go? I've seen gaskets fail on an oil filter change. After you change your filter and add oil, then you start engine and immediately check for no oil filter leaks. To me, who is considering purchasing a Nissan Frontier, this has me wondering about my options. I do much of my own maintenance and I don't have a lift at my disposal. I work on the grass or gravel on my back with a set of ramps to change my oil filters on all of my current and previous vehicles. This set up is ridiculous. I like/need to inspect and clean the surface of the oil filter base. Having to peekaboo to remove, install, and then inspect is a real hassle. They must have been thinking everyone has small/narrow hands and the ability to see around corners.
Going to be hard to get to that filter doing it your self in your garage.
Agreed, especially thru that small access hole.
Garage hell, I will be laying out under the truck in my driveway. 😅
@@randypruitt1856 Ha! Yeah, me too using ramps for a little bit of elevation. A real design flaw.
Now I feel bad about not adding oil in the new filters…
I can't believe you didn't check for leaks before you buttoned it up. If you have a problem, you would have to take it all off again.
Agreed. That is standard practice. Have seen gaskets fail, and without checking, the first sign would be a warning light that you have no oil pressure ... or the large puddle or trail of oil under your vehicle.
Great video, can you make the video to drain auto gearbox and replace filter from a Nissan D23 and Jatco 7AT RE7R01A ?. Thx
Excellent video! How many miles would you recommend for the first oil change of a Frontier Pro-4X? I hear some say that a vehicle's first oil change should be at about 1,000 miles and then every 5,000 or 7.500 miles depending on driving conditions. Is this true?
Correct, if you live in a very dusty area, or like spring time around here we get a ton of pollen, changing engine oil at a higher frequency is a must. Lower quality of oil and the way you drive will also shorten that interval.
How can I fully remove the black panel around the inspection cover? Would make it easier to access the oil filter and less mess to clean up afterward
If you don't have a lift, it's going to be an absolute bitch trying to reach that oil filter through that tiny hole while laying on your back.
I noticed when I replaced the drain plug after draining the oil I heard a gargling sound when I removed the oil filter. I removed the drain plug again and more oil came out. Maybe a half quart.
I would like to see the same for a 2024 Pro4x- they moved the filter access hole further down under the filter which puts you at a terrible angle to get the filter off when the factory put it on with brute force. The drainage tray under the filter sticks out just enough where you can’t get a full grip on it at at right angle. This is very frustrating!
The dealer will cross thread the skid plate and use power tools to put the oil filter on too tight
Nice demonstration, but what a pain in the ass to perform.
I’m about to get a new frontier, lol so I have to remove a skid plate to change the oil filter? Lol that’s gonna be a pain
well...definitely not looking forward to this process when it comes time for my first change
I swear, engineers purposely place oil filters in the most inconvenient places. 😠
My dealer told me that 15208-9e01a oil filter replaced the one you have on video. Why’s that? They don’t even carry the one you have on video anymore.
the bill cost $200. Thank you!
Anyone here w/ sunroof? Quality of workmanship, possible leaks, etc?
I have a question for you where i can find the P0237 on a frontier 2019???
Why not just remove the steel skid plate to have more room replacing the filter
On theD41 Pro4X it is mounted behind the plastic part of the front bumper. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get to without damaging or modifying the front bumper.

After 35 years of oil changes, I don't recall prefilling the new filter. Is that specific to the Nissan Frontier?
I've never done it either, including on my 2015 Frontier. It makes sense to do it, I guess, but it would be messy as hell.
Do these trucks have a transmission dipstick , as the last generation of frontier had? Or did they eliminate it .
No dipstick. Have dealer change it at 60 k miles or you'll be sorry
What is silly design! Filter behind the skid plate and you have to rig up some kind of oil catch device...
