Nissan drain plug gasket Removal and install method #1

[@voluablelaconic]

Thank you. Great video. I really appreciate how you made it very clear which way the new gasket goes on while keeping the video short and to the point. Kudos!

[@theradiantskinroom4645]

Thank you SO much for posting this. My girl and i are taking on her oil change for the first time and when we saw the copper ring, we had NO idea wtf was going on. Your video provided us such a satisfying Aha Moment. Not only did you show every step involved with that ring, you also kept your video quick and to the point. Thank you!

[@christinemisterio228]

Thank you. Took away my doubt on which side goes in first. Good job man.

[@kh75park]

I just bought a pack of this kind of gasket washer seal and had no idea which direction it should go in and this video helps. Also I never had any issue getting it out of the plug, but if it did get stuck to the drain plug, now I know how to get it out easily. Thanks!

[@alexandermisterio7017]

Thanks a bunch, for showing the right way of removing and installing the copper gasket. Great instructional video.👍!

[@JOATJESSE]

I had not seen this kind of crush washer prior. I generally always get copper washers from the parts store. I appreciate the quick video with excellent quality. I wouldn't have thought to use a pocket knife and would have gone for a flat head screw driver. Your method is very effective. I appreciate the time and effort you made.

[@nickdale9830]

SOOO ridiculous to need a video like this, but...very well done, and thank you for showing this so well.

[@damon4427]

Thanks for the video. This is my first Nissan oil change and I’ve never seen this type of gasket.

[@gardenia1738]

Great video thanks sir. The first oil change I did on my Maxima I didn't know how to take off the old washer and reused it. It was seeping but not enough to drop on ground. Second oil change I did exactly what you did with a new drain plug and a new washer. Works very good. Have a good day

[@jstriker623]

You have no idea how a little thing like this can cause someone to doubt whether or not the oil is going to start leaking out. I came back 3k later to make sure I was putting it on the right way. Thank you 👍👍

[@10000000peso]

same here

[@CapoeiraBoricuaAyala]

Simple and to the point. Appreciate it brother👍🏾

[@LM-sx2uv]

Thank you. Incredibly clear instructions. Really appreciate it.

[@kessdoggie]

Page EM-25 of the 2012 Nissan Versa Hatchback Shop Manual shows the washer being installed the way shown in this video. Which makes me happy because that's the way I guessed it should go before I saw the manual, or this video. I was used to the standard Subaru crush washer which is different.

[@aykoro]

Thank you for showing the orientation of a cut out on the washer❤

[@superduperboyx]

Thanks for this video, about to do an oil change as a NeWb and thought the gasket should be put the other way around, and others have confirmed what you did is correct. Thanks!

[@jasond3954]

This is the correct way. I just pulled the transmission plug off my Nissan Altima and it came from the factory the same way as in the video. Flat side toward the pan and rounded side with the notch toward the plug.

[@TheJcsm06]

So are you saying the correct way is how he is doing it on the video?

[@gardenia1738]

Transmission "washer" are rubber o ring, not a copper washer. They don't make them of copper.

[@ericceballos9330]

Mohammed Hnoosh O ring is for the filter cover Idk the crush washer or gasket goes on the bolt plug you remove form you oil pan

[@mikefanizzi8536]

You are correct. I was told the exact same thing from a master Nissan mechanic.

[@tespanton3886]

This is also the recommended way according to the Nissan X-trail service manual for the QR20 / QR25 engine, page EM-27. Thanks for the video!

[@ramielsayed7401]

wonderful video. nice music. sweet and short. thanks man!

[@misterpsych3804]

Thanks bro. Didn’t know which side was supposed to be up. Thx

[@SethKHughes]

Exactly what I needed thank you

[@tmaytananse6532]

FANTASTIC VIDEO ! Thank you. If only you could explain so wonderfully to that old fool in office how to run this country!

[@turnsburns2015]

Thanks. Little details like this need to be shared.

[@norbertoferret5945]

Thanks sr your video is highly appreciated !

[@ITALIAN926]

simple question solved very easily in this video, appreciate ya man..

[@minutemenapparel]

Thank you, I was wondering what was the correct way to seat the gasket.

[@brooktrout2774]

Brilliant Video. Thank you.

[@jernest3321]

Excellent and very clear. I'm about to do the oil service to my Nissan Kicks and I was wondering wich side of crush washer goes to the oil pan. Thank you!

[@terrybo5924]

been changing oil but not the plug or washer for years and never knew of a crush washer until today while watching another video. was headed to the nissan dealership after grabbing lunch then told myself there's a napa on the way home instead. the washer was $1.3x . tried a hardware store first and all they had were locking washers. im sure it'd been more expensive at the dealership or they could've just given it away free to get my business.

[@harveysmith100]

Thank you for posting a very clear video. Just to add a couple of points. Guys, don't over torque it, as guide, I have the same size drain plug and it 13Nm. It's nothing. You can alway give it a tweak if it seeps. Second: Is there a mechanic left in the world who doesn't own a set of Knipex Cobras?

[@fdMT_EnGy]

Thanks for the video. Ive never seen a plug with a crush washer like this and was going nuts trying to figure it out.

[@arikhlid24]

It was helpful clear video

[@mohitprasher5093]

Could you please make a video of you putting it on the car? I am worried I will strip the drain bolt. Any recommendations are appreciated

[@12MRJERSEY]

25ft lbs is all you need. Make sure it's snug.

[@10000000peso]

great vid, weirdest washer ive ever dealt with!

[@debneter]

Thank You! This is just what I needed. Thanks for posting.

[@timothywong4629]

2024 and this video is a life saver in showing how to install the stupid washer

[@danielbell9779]

Thank you so much for this vid! I've always wondered which side goes toward the crankcase.

[@obsf415]

Finally someone who makes a consise video 👏 Exactly what I needed to know.

Thank you!

Solve my concern, thank you!

[@michaelrobinson3662]

Didn't realise how hotly debated this is on forums and other videos. My guess is flat side faces bolt. It's 50/50 online no concrete answer. But makes flat would go against flat bolt.

[@polgi623]

I have a 2014 Infiniti Q50S and have always oriented the crush washer opposite to what you show. I place the flat portion against the drain plug and the rounded side with the notch against the oil pan. 72,000 miles and have never had a single leak. My conclusion is that I don't think it matters which way the washer faces. As long as you properly torque the plug to spec to ensure the washer crushes correctly either way will work fine.

[@nginproject3097]

Sorry bro, just showing you what Nissan trained me to do

[@polgi623]

@@nginproject3097 No need to be sorry. You were trained how you were trained and there's nothing wrong with that. Just pointing out for people who overthink and worry about which way it should go that there's no "wrong way."

[@nickolastiguan]

@@nginproject3097 Is this really how Nissan trained you to remove the gasket? My local (Canadian) dealership won’t confirm it lol.

[@nginproject3097]

@@nickolastiguan this is one of the method. The second method is to cut the gasket with pliers. I didn't have time make a second video on the second method. Video will come soon.

[@godzwrath]

Thanks for sharing the knowledge brother 👍

[@darina114466]

My 2016 NV3500 5.6 V8 owners manual says tighten to 25 ft lbs of torque for the engine oil drain plug. Also Nissan says to always use a New drain plug gasket, I have re used my old one several times, no leaks, yet. Best MPG have been 13.9, (4:10 rear gear ratio) unloaded at no more than 65 mph. This thing is a beast, I love blowing off the little rice burner at the lights. Lol Thanks for the video.

[@chillydawgg4354]

I used to reuse them until my motorcycle started dripping oil & I was like nope, I ain't effin with that. Now I buy new ones.

[@kccodex8931]

Elegant.👍

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

Thanks! My washer came with no instructions 😁

[@bmtkid00]

Much obliged. 👍👍👍

[@wreckanchor]

I thought the flat side goes toward the plug and the round egde goes toward the pan?

[@nginproject3097]

For the proper seal, the flat side goes towards the pan and the notch side towards the back of the Engine oil drain plug.

[@Sasquatch304]

dude omg thank u!
