2004-2013 nissan titan oil cooler o-ring replace

[@jojobaggett6156]

5 years later and the video is still helping people. I kept thinking it was the filter. Your video is def the answer thank you

[@chrishester9671]

Man 5 years old and it still helping ppl. Thanks so much

[@Starface111]

68 thousand views? You would think there would be more compliments here. Thank you for posting this video, you saved me so much time in research. The Fram gasket worked like a charm. It fit a little loose but I have confidence it will work. The OEM gasket is still not available from the dealer but the newer oil cooler is and its gasket.

[@Starface111]

I made a mess with the coolant. It gave me a good reason to flush the system though. I need to figure out plug stoppers for the hoses next time.

[@fonz660r8]

Starface111 thank you I appreciate that, to be honest as far as the oil cooler lines with the coolant there was enough slack to just flip the oil cooler housing sideways with out removal of the rubber hoses.

[@Starface111]

It was nice to take it out and thoroughly clean it and the area around where it mounts. I think this was leaking for a while so it was pretty grungie down there. It looks really good now. 2004 Titan 215,000 miles.

[@augiekawase]

Thanks for uploading the video. I fixed my leak after I'd changed oil and filter. I replaced the seal without draining of oil just removed the filter only. I lost a half quart of oil that's all. I noticed that the old seal was in good shape but the bolt that holds the oil cooler was out of torque not tighten at all. Possibly all I needed was to re-torque the bolt at 36 ft-lb that may fix the leak. Oil pressure at idle is only 14 psi and at 2000 rpm is 43 psi that low.

[@Yung11money]

I take my Titan to a shop to get an oil change and service on time every time . They didn't even tell me about the oil leak. I asked my friend who is a mechanic, he thought it was oil pressure switch. After watching the video I went right to the store bought the Fram. The rest is history. Thanks for the Christmas gift

[@fonz660R]

Right on glad to hear brother stay sharp.

[@amyhazelvang7198]

That shop is a crook

[@frmarq]

Thank you , I noticed my truck was leaking by the filter and thought it was the filter. You’re video was very helpful .... not only did I saved money on a mechanic but fixed an issue that could’ve ruined my truck. Appreciate it :) Thanks !!!

[@fonz660R]

You are welcome, I am now on my second Titan and still running strong.

[@ScottHD]

Still helping 8 years later! My 2005 is leaking from this o ring

[@fonz660R]

Awesome brother 👍

[@ZombieLife]

Dude you rock!!! I just replaced my oil pressure sending unit and still leaking. Figured out it was the oil cooling ring and your video is gonna help big time. Its been a pretty crappy week (my gf's 2 day old Beatle got keyed last night by shady neighbors among tons of other b.s.) but your video made me happy to finally be on the road to no oil leak !!!! Thanks bro!!!!

[@fonz660R]

No worries hope all is good and its easy to fix.

[@ZombieLife]

All fixed, I think it took all of 5 mins.

[@arthurward6871]

fonz660R Great Video! About to tackle this this weekend...where did you clamp the coolant line and with what? Again great vid!

[@fonz660R]

Arthur Ward enough play on both coolant lines to flip unit to face U to replace O ring No clamping or removing of lines necessary

[@arthurward6871]

fonz660R thanks my man!

[@getchasumbbq]

DUDE YOUR BATMAN!!! my garage floor was telling me my 2004 Armada was leaking. i took off the skid plate and found the leak. i thought it was a loose filter, i tightened it a little but still had the leak. time to hit the google answer box, lucky for me your video popped up. thanks for posting, you saved me lots o $$ and time.

[@fonz660R]

Right on brother glad I could help... stay shape Robin lol

[@r7386]

I just change mine and this video was 100% on point. Especially with the Fram filter. Thanks

[@fonz660R]

Good deal sir glad the write up was able help.

[@fonz660R]

Good news glad I could help via the knowledge tube.

[@txnightsky]

FYI, the FRAM gasket does not fit the 2006 Nissan Pathfinder. The Pathfinder takes the larger gasket. I ended up flipping over the old gasket, (it had shape memory already) reassembling the cooler and no more leaks... for now... At least next time I'll be prepared with the OEM gasket. Thanks for the video, it made things easy to attack.

[@fonz660R]

thank you sire. I do not own a pathfinder but I'm sure some may have the same issue as you did. good job on correcting the issue on your vehicle.

[@jaytsinnie4877]

I'm Gunna attempt to do this on my lady's nissan armada. Your video will save me two bills. Thanks for the post.

[@fonz660R]

yea i know what you mean saving cash and hangin the the garage is always good. good luck glad i could help

[@raythomas4289]

Had my doubts but wanted to try before going to the mechanic. Worked perfectly. Gonna have a steak dinner in my honor for dyi'ing it. Thnx!!!!

[@bbelken]

Great how-to video but I would advise against using the fram ph7317 gasket. They may have changed the seal since the video was posted. Just tried it and could not get it to seal. Fel-Pro 72493 is the correct gasket and works great for 4 dollars.

[@mariolopez1]

Thank you. for taking the time to posting this video it save me lots of money

[@mikeobrien3744]

I owe you a beer. Next time your in the 91701.

[@fonz660R]

You got it brother

[@fonz660R]

The high pressure does come from the oil pressure switch. Its on thw right side of the oil cooler. I also had that issue from one day to thw next starting showing high pressure. Chamge out the swit h. It is also easy. But be careful the line next to the pressure switch has to br removed it carries coolant about 1 gallon. So keep a bucket near by. Good luck brother.

[@ernietapia7386]

What is the tork of the bolt when tightening it back. Mine is still leaking very little. Thank you

[@KitchiNova23]

36-40 inches per lb

[@gilbertoreyes733]

Hats off to you sir! Really appreciate you taking the time to record and post this video. Helped me out a bunch!!!

[@VOSTEVEN2422]

I have 2012 Nissan NV2500. Will replace the oil cooler seal soon. Got a question : what is the litle ball bearing in the housing for? How to put it back? Thanks

[@RoldanRR00]

Used this video as a guide to do a 2008 3.5 Altima. Similar problem and fix. Thanks!

[@thoralmighty5133]

Just did it with the fram gasket might look small but worked great. Thanks for the video all of an hour repair taking your time. btw I just disconnected one hose ez enough to get to it. and snug with a two foot cheater. Yeah!

[@1996jonathanruiceco]

Is this normal for the Nissan titan to have that oil leak BC I seen them all have that O ring replace

[@drdrake240]

Will that fram o ring work on a 2010? You mentioned 07-13 being larger

[@fonz660R]

No, you have the larger oil cooler, so you can pick up the dealer OEM o ring and you should match right up

[@drdrake240]

@@fonz660R i bought a felpro one from advance 4$ and so far so good. Just changed it out after watching your video

[@pmaster357]

thanks!!! you just saved me some $$... and there wasn't any Titan/Armada filter housing o-ring changes on here... thanks for that

[@dcfarms2289]

Thanks! Found my issue after watching this.

[@Anthony911234]

FUCKING LIFE SAVER BROTHER!

[@fonz660R]

Right on brother.

[@geraldheaverlo4849]

Thanks! stumbled onto the video and put it to use today . Worked great

[@pdub1247]

Good video, the nut/bolt is actually a metric 22 mm

[@geoadventure996]

Thank you so much for posting this. I was wandering why this oil leak

[@brentwest8394]

fonz660R! I owe you a beer! It worked out very well. I have a 2004 Titan and I figured out that it was leaking near the oil filter. It turns out that it was the oil cooler gasket. I took your advice and used the gasket off of the Frame oil filter. It was slightly smaller than the orginal gasket, but I went with it. This took me about 90 minutes. And I am sure that I saved $300-400! Thanks, Bro!

[@fonz660R]

Right on brother uts about doing it your self and letting the stealership they will not have your hard earned money. Glad the vid could assest a bit.

[@brentwest8394]

Btw: I ended up clamping the hoses with vice grips. I wanted to remove the assembly and clean it up. Very simple. Thanks again!

[@chrispuckett7163]

Good video. Got me through the process. Thanks!

[@kilenum]

Could a symptom of this problem be oil in the coolant?

[@SIMONP1965]

This o ring off the filter worked perfect, and the filter is the correct filter for the 5.6L engine also.

[@fonz660R]

Well I assume after removing the o ring you tossed the filter away. I'm sure you know no oring on the filter is trash. But hope you resolved your issue cheers brother

[@fonz660R]

Glad I could share.

[@rdeblue1]

So does that fram oil filter o ring work for the 2007 armada still? or would it be different because it's bigger starting that year as you said? thanks for the video!

[@fonz660R]

I belive the oil cooler us larger but you can see if the dealer carries the oring for a 2007. I belive the should due to that's the current oil cooler sold. Ask for the oil cooler oring.

[@tweetersusaatyahoo2424]

I'm forever grateful for the world wide web, but more so for all the Professionals that share their experience / expertise, to which www would be nothing! THANK YOU ALL!!!

[@oscarncandi2013]

Thanks for the video my man!!! I will do this on my next oil change. Unfortunately I just changed oil 140 miles ago. I bought the truck used after Thanksgiving. I dont drive the truck muh but the oil its dripping. It drives me crazy.

[@MikeDaShark33]

I'm assuming 2007 xterra will be the same?

[@naijakem]

Any idea how to replace an oil pump on 05 qx56?

[@fonz660R]

No sir I do not.

[@raenrfm]

Same engine as the titan, armada

[@fonz660R]

Yes same engine

[@jzyoyiz]

you just helped me big time! my 2006 titan has been showing me HIGH oil pressure for the last three days when to get it checked and they said everything looked good. The truck is running good no problems so was thinking it was the oil pressure switch but I did notice oil spots so I'm gonna take a look at the o-ring! Any suggestions? really appreciate it man!

[@Siestabob]

That was awesome man! I've got a leak near there so I guess I should start there. Keep up the good work.

[@fonz660R]

Right on sir.

[@fonz660R]

No worries I'm sure if the location is on the drip strip should be the fix.

[@LuisHernandez-he53]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I saved time and money after watching this.

[@fonz660R]

Good deal and good job knocking it out buddy

[@lionelg1998]

Thanks. I had to change mine out today on a 2004 Titan. This video was a great help.

[@fonz660R]

Awsome glad it could lead you the right way

[@tonytv]

Will this work for a 2006 Nissan Frontier? Do they take the same Fram Filter?

[@tonytv]

How can I find out what oil filter will work? What should I ask the dealership?

[@fonz660R]

if I where you I would cross refferance the Fram oil filter between the frontier and titan. if they are the same then I would assume the oil cooler o ring would be the same size. befor that I would also check if the dealer has the o ring for the frontier.

[@tonytv]

Ok great! Thanks for the help and the video! This is why KZbin kicks ass..

[@tonytv]

+fonz660R the dealer has it for $6.. Thanks again....

[@fonz660R]

+tonytv that's even better brother good news.

[@eronibarra5499]

what hose do you cap off so the antifreeze doesnt leak

[@fonz660R]

Eron Ibarra the two connected to the oil cooler, one is an send the other return.

[@gorditaz8728]

Did you have a difficult time screwing back on the engine oil cooler?? Cuz I am.

[@fonz660R]

No, did you get it back on?

[@watchmanexpert]

@@fonz660R question I need to drain the oil to change the gasket ? My oil is only 2 weeks old

[@g123695]

Anyone have the part number for the actual oil filter cooler? I think mine may have some hairline cracks. I have a 2004 Nissan Armada (same setup as the Titan)

[@ferneyfoo53]

Would this work on a 2008 Nissan Altima coupe?

[@DavidHernandez-ue4fz]

I think so bro.

[@juanmancha2167]

I have a2007 Nissan Armada, and after replacing the oil cooler O ring two days later the leak was back...but after removing the cooler and started to clean all around the cover, the discovered 3 hair line cracks by where the cooler bolts to. I put some hi heat jb weld epoxy will see how that works.

[@SuperMazorquero]

Juan Mancha ok let us know ! Pls

[@juanmancha2167]

Pancho C it worked.

[@SuperMazorquero]

Juan Mancha good deal man thank you.!!! 😃

[@juanmancha2167]

Pancho C u got it! just clean and clean with mineral spirits around cracks before you apply epoxy.

[@SuperMazorquero]

Juan Mancha thanks a lot Juan very helpful

[@Marchautowerks]

Anyone have torque spec for the oil cooler ?

[@PeteyWheatie]

Where did you clamp the coolant line??

[@deltabravo5719]

I think he changed his mind mid prj and decided not to remove the hoses/ or clamp them. If you removed the oil cooler entirely for either replacement or repair... clamping the hoses would have saved coolant and potential air bubbles being trapped followed by over heat situation. in short. the process for replacing the oil seal on the inside of the oil cooler does not require removal of the the coolant hoses.

[@fonz660R]

Delta Bravo yea that is correct , I did not end up removing the coolant lines, I was able to do the work needed with the lines attached.

[@rogeliotorres6002]

Awesome video, that's what I just found out that I have the same problem with that.

[@joseguapo4081]

what about the relief valve

[@uptownsamcv]

the VQ35's have the same issue. i had to change the same gasket on my 02 maxima.

Great video!, thanks!. Will this work on a 2007 Nissan Murano?, I think so.

Thank you! This worked on my 05 Titan.

[@fonz660R]

Right on. glad!!!

[@jonnygarcia1088]

Great vid man. Dealer wanted to charge me $160 to change this seal. Are you able to change it without emptying the oil? Just replace the oil that comes out when you take the filter off? Reason I'm asking is because they just changed the oil and said I could wait until next oil change to change the seal because the didn't have it in stock.

[@fonz660R]

You sure can brother, in all reality I had enough slack on the coolant lines to flip oilcooler with out removing lines. Carefully and all fluids and oil intact with out loosing any at all.

[@michaelmiranda6194]

Thank you for the awesome vid. The Dealer will not or does not sell just the seal for 05's. The only way to get it from Nissan is to buy the engine oil cooler at $400 ish. F'n ridiculous!

[@jefflancero1062]

thanks. very helpful. exactly what i need. a local shop quoted me $420 just for the oil cooler part and never mentioned an O-Ring. Also, my oil pressure gauge shows Hi all the time. Will that go to normal when i replace this o-ring? thanx much.

[@fonz660R]

the o ring will fix the small oil leak. the high oil pressure comes from the oil pressure switch. the switch is the only switch on the oil cooler. Cant miss it the only elertical switch attached to the oil cooler. I also swaped this part out. easy as well. dissconect the electrical clip from the switch unbolt the switch replace with new and reattach the electrical clip. if your doing the o ring you should do both at the same time, the switch runs about 100. good luck feel free to ask any questions if you have any
