DIY Oil Change on the Nissan Sentra 2013-2017

[@destaynaemclaurin7078]

Nice work!

This One!! I’m so excited got Mad Confidence now 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽

😍😍😍😍

[@utahpumpkinspice]

Thank you so much for making this video. I’m about to pay off my car next month, and I just changed my oil by myself for the first time ever! No more high priced oil changes for me, now I can save $50+ every time! 😁Feeling so incredibly happy and confident, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

[@JamesSmith-wu1qv]

same!!

[@DaGarbageDisposal]

Nice video but I would check the oil level after the car has been started so that the new oil can get into the filter first. The oil doesn't hit the filter until the car starts makin' the level a lil less. I just bought a Nissan Sentra 2016 and I want to thank you for the information. My first oil change is tomorrow on it.

[@JordiBriscoe]

I'll save this forever incase if my husband's ever deployed I can do it myself. May you become rich and very happy!!! Thank you 😊💜🙏🏼

[@JamesSmith-wu1qv]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I just changed my truck's oil on my own for the first time, and now that I'm more confident, I'll be doing my mom's as well. She drives a 2015 Nissan Sentra, so this video should be hugely helpful when I do that later this week. Thanks again!

[@imafine1]

Thanks for the simple instructions. I did my 2013 Sentra in less than an hour for about $45. The shop quoted me $90. I’d rather keep the other $45 for other maintenance.

[@AlexiHolford]

for a basic oil change? My shop charges me $31.49.

[@imafine1]

@@AlexiHolford It was for synthetic oil.

[@AlexiHolford]

@@imafine1 I did not know that makes a difference in the difficulty of doing an oil change.

[@kary305]

Out of all the videos, I saved yours d/t all your details ... The only one Tip I got elsewhere was: lightly puncturing the old filter to allow nasty oil from spilling all over. From now on, I will continue doing my own oil changes & saving at least $110.00👍 THANKX‼️

[@_brandonTV]

Very precise, informative video. So simple & straight to the point.

[@MillennialReview]

Thanks, I appreciate the comment.

Great vid! Very detailed for those of us who aren’t as versed in this type of work. I’ve had my 2017 Sentra for over a year now and it still rides great. No issues.

[@MillennialReview]

Glad you liked it, and they sure do ride quite well.

[@maxmeek8923]

Some of this stuff is basic knowledge, but I appreciate you putting it in the video anyways in case someone out there doesn't know. I personally didnt know the sticker under the hood existed telling you what type of oil to use, and, wouldnt you know it, the OReilly guy recommended the wrong oil to me. Big help, thanks.

[@MillennialReview]

Glad it helped

[@jameswill7570]

Imagine that that's why I go to auto zone Oreillys never gets the job done

[@DYI]

I better way to measure is to put 3/4 of a quart into another container first and just dump the remainder into the engine so you don't need to worry about stopping at the wrong time. First time I used the large container I didn't read it and just assumed it was a 1 gallon jug! For some reason the standard is 5 quarts and not 4. Please learn from my mistake as it was a pain to drain out the extra.

[@MillennialReview]

That's a great tip thank you

[@FrankZoldak]

Or you can just check your dip stick 😐

[@cumshot247]

@@FrankZoldak That wouldn't be accurate until you start the engine because your oil filter is empty...🤦‍♂️

[@davidjamesqc]

Awesome video! Great job! I wish you would have explained more how you jacked the car up? Which devices you used? What all your options are? Does the car need to be level or can you just jack up the front end? Etc. Anyway, thanks for the awesome video! Very helpful

[@shamimali2849]

Precisely and thoroughly explained video of how to change oil on Nissan Sentra 2013 to 2017. Thank you.

[@rothman24]

From the 2015 Sentra Maual: • Viscosity SAE 0W-20. • For additional information, refer to “Engine oil and oil filter recommendations” in this section. • As an alternative to this recommended oil, SAE 5W-30 conventional petroleum based oil may be used and meets all specifications and requirements necessary to maintain the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

👍

[@yesimReady13]

what does that mean that 5 30 synthetic will be ok

Thank you! I have done my 1st old change; after watching this video.

Very thorough video. Thanks for the help!

[@scottnordengreen7233]

Thanks for the video but why did you use high mileage oil if the vehicle only had 4600 miles on it?

[@MillennialReview]

Never hurts to have the gasket additives, wont effect performance otherwise.

[@marjuriecastaneda9096]

@@MillennialReview yes it will. It hurts the seals. High mileage oil has more metal than other oil and has conditioners for seals. Once you switch back your car will blow smoke I guarantee it but I hope not.

[@jones100001]

@@marjuriecastaneda9096 Stop misinforming people. It will not blow smoke if you switch back and forth. Important thing is to do an oil/filter change at regular interval

Great video. Why didn’t you replace the one time use, oil drain plug, copper crush washer?

[@MillennialReview]

Lazy i guess. Normally I dont need to do so unless it has been used a ton of times.

[@jameswill7570]

Bro🤣

[@gasmonkey3706]

Pre fill the new filter with new oil before you put it on. This way you’re not starting it dry. Remember it takes time to fill the filter and send oil thru the system. You can cut down that time by pre filling filter before install.

[@MrFlightman00]

Great explanation regarding the oil change! However, do you know how to reset the oil life monitor on the base model Sentra? The owners manual doesn’t seem to specify how to do it and I can’t find answers on the Internet either.

[@joshuaewalker]

Great! Now, can I borrow your lift?

[@russfleming3169]

you should fill the new filter with oil then install it.

[@MillennialReview]

On some vehicles that would make a difference but really no need for that with this engine.

[@jacksonviner2236]

Adding oil to the oil filter will help avoid a dry start. Since these filters face up I fill them entirely before installing

[@EdwinLied]

Like literally dip it the new filter in the old oil?

[@Gleone58]

No such thing as a "dry start" bearings have a film of oil on them even after you drain. Pre-filling oil filters is not necessary. If it was so detrimental then why are some filters upside down in cars and you dont prefill cartridge filters. - i work on semi trucks and the cartridge filters do not get primed. At the rate the oil pump puts out it fills a gallon sized filter in less than 15 seconds.

[@kollegeman1]

@@Gleone58 well said my brother. No such thing as dry start.

[@Fr3shBreadYT]

In place of a lift, would two tire jacks, one on either side of the front end work effectively?

Yes it would work just fine that way.

[@mattmgarza]

The torque spec for the oil pan bolt is 25 pound feet. The note next to it said "Install a new washer on the drain bolt." In the real world, a shop isn't going to change out the crush washer each time and isn't going to look up the torque spec for the drain plug. So don't driticize the guy. If you can make a better video, please do so. He made an excellent video.

[@brute6896]

So you dont have to fill the filter with oil?

[@MillennialReview]

In my experience no.

[@sandyshoremann7524]

If you wish to fill it, It is best to fill it about 2/3rds but not all the way - as it is a slug of hydraulic fluid hindering priming of the oil galleries and VVTi mechanism. - Sandy

[@bdraghici1]

you did not prime the filter and did not change the washer!

[@Foodie_888]

Noe Lopez Just to be sure check owner's manual. I am pretty sure newer models take 0W-20 full synthetic.

[@sonnetspring]

I work at a Nissan dealership and we pretty much put 5w30 in all the cars that come in for oil change. 5w20 upon request but rarely 0w20

[@Alpha-Ultra]

Not supposed to use pliers there is a right tool for that

[@immortalhour3888]

Never use 0w best go with 5w from my personal experience no matter the mileage

[@WWEFAN728]

That's wrong. Newer cars use 0w synthetic oil. According to the owners manual, these newer cars use SAE 0W-20 Full Synthetic Motor Oil

[@MillennialReview]

ALWAYS use the recommended oil from the manufacturer. It is what the vehicle is designed for, thus the best choice.
