Nissan Oil Leak - Replace Oil Cooler O Ring Gasket - 3.5

[@TheLumixfan]

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

[@caymanwest4929]

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.

Cayman West did u use the same part number? Because it telling me that its will not fit my x

[@Sklit77002]

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.

[@TheKeymaster316]

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!

Out of all the videos on this subject, this is by far and away the best. Short, brief and to the point. Steady camera work. Didn’t have headaches with the usual seizure inducing shaky camera work.

[@thesage4729]

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.

[@galinstan5603]

I appreciate the provision of the part number as well as the torque specification. Overall the presentation was clear, concise and informative.

Thanks for your comment!

[@Megalodon1]

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.

[@dial2fast]

Thanks, Mate! I couldn't work out where the leak was, watching your video was a light-bulb moment. AUS $9.70 and 1/2 an hour of work later NO MORE LEAKS!!!! Not a drop. Really appreciate you doing this for all of us :-) THANK YOU!

[@MrUK910]

Great video! I have a friend who is a mechanic let me know that there was another gasket in the housing for the oil filter on my 03 350z. He told me to look it up and lone behold i came across this video to give me a very detailed view along with torque specs. Thanks again for the video!

You have been a real huge help. I have an 05 nissan quest and every time something goes wrong with it I make sure I check your videos and sure enough you've done it already. Next on the list is the oil cooler gasket. Thanks alot for the videos and keep em coming.

[@dial2fast]

Leno Delgado Really appreciate your comment! Cheers

[@Diablodelsol]

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?

[@SeeGabeGo]

so many people on youtube never include the part number. Good job.

[@dannygren1790]

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?

[@luxurycarkey7207]

Great video i went for a oil change at jiffy lube a month later i was leaking oil come to find out the cooler bolt was loose i wonder how that happened your videos are great you are helping people a great deal sir thanks...

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

[@mahmoudrankoussi9799]

Just did the oil cooler gasket/seal change and followed all your steps! it worked smoothly. I lined up my tools first, and started executing. so far no oil leak underneath the car. I will keep monitoring but I feel confident it's fixed. I was wondering if you've ever drained/replaced (not flushed) hydrolic transmission fluid?

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

[@erikmoreno7930]

Thanks my 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE is leaking oil I changed the oil pan gasket thinking it was bad but still leaked so searched online and came to this video thanks a lot ! Will be changing my O Ring tomorrow !

[@TastyAF347]

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?

[@DIYApprentice]

Thanks for video. I tried to install part number 21304-JA11A on my mom's 2002 Altima 3.5SE, but the ring was slightly too big. I found a post on a forum that mentioned using the gasket from the oil filter in its place, and that seems to have worked.

[@NeedsMovies]

I had the same issue on my 2007 Quest and it took a bit of force to get it seated. It was the right size, but didn't just slide right in as expected. No more oil leak :)

[@kenleal1850]

I tried to install a FelPro Oil Cooler Gasket on my 2011 Quest 3.5 L and it was too big. I used a purolator one PL14612 gasket and it fit perfectly on the oil cooler. So far no leaks thank you for your post DIY

[@danielmontanez5834]

I did everything in the video and is still leaking,changed the ring oil cooler hose could it be the oil cooler assembly

[@juliogarcia5304]

What was your solution? Hopefully you still use this account lol

[@elhugeo]

@@juliogarcia5304 I bet someone torqued the oil cooler stud, "this guy calls it bolt," above 36lbs and stripped the thread inside the engine block. Stupid fucking design on Nissan's end. I bet his oil cooler assembly must fit loose like and old cooch.

[@itsatrap4986]

I have a 05 G35 with 115k and there seems to be a small leak and noticed that there's oil on the filter area that leaks down to the drain bolt. At first I thought it was the drain bolt so could it by the o-ring? I've also noticed that my coolant has been getting low on the reservoir. I spotted some residue on the passenger side.

[@chasekluemper4062]

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.

[@dial2fast]

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

[@7bikerboy7]

was the oil cooler the cause of your leak?

[@cristhianmendez2959]

One of the best videos I have seen on youtube yet. I have the 06 nissan murano and I have to exact same problem on my vehicle. Thank you for making the video and ill be posting this on Facebook and passing it on so others don't have to waste their time looking at not so good videos. Once again thanks for posting and great job!!

[@dial2fast]

Cristhian Mendez Really appreciate your kind words and hope you can get yours fixed. Cheers!

[@tracker3]

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. I just had the oil cooler start leaking and found your video. Great video and very informative, especially the proper torque setting.

[@RuthlessWave00]

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]

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).

[@RuthlessWave00]

how do i can remove the transmision oil pan?????? took front motor mount off, jacked the engine,,,but theres like 3 bolts that are very hard to remove,,, is there a way or special tool,,for a 04 nissan quest,,,, thank yuo

[@ramerefauntleroy4881]

Quick question do you need to remove the coolant at all since both tunes run in and out both ends of the oil cooler itself?

[@dial2fast]

The coolant lines don't need to be disconnected for this fix.

[@urbanhalal]

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]

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

[@GrifFungin]

We have a 2005 350Z that seems to be leaking from that same general area... It has the Vq35 motor so i would assume the oil coooler would be exactly the same as you quest?

[@dial2fast]

The 350z also has an oil cooler. The best thing is to jack up your car and take a look to see where the oil is coming out of.

[@GrifFungin]

[@parviz.gadirov]

I have a oil leak from the front passenger side on my 2003 Nissan Murano. I have changed the oil cooler gasket’s o-ring but I still have leak from there. Can it be from the oil filter’s o-ring?

[@neilwilliams8608]

My friends 2002 Nissan Maxima 3.5 V6 has an oil leak I can't seem to locate. I was under the car, from the front, on my back facing the front. I saw the oil drops on a brass plated round valve like thing. It can't be that round valve because, that valve has a tube that runs to the ac compressor. If I pour oil in the engine, could it leak through the valve cover gasket or, does the engine have to be running for the valve cover gasket to be leaking? It's not the oil pan plug or oil filter or the oil pan kasket. Awesome video and thanks a lot.

[@dial2fast]

It's hard to say for sure without seeing it, but for this V6, the common oil leak for an older engine can come from valve cover (front & back) as the gasket dries up and leaks. The front one is easy to see, the back one you might be able to crawl underneath by the firewall and look up. You might also smell oil burning as it drips on the exhaust.

[@neilwilliams8608]

Thanks for your reply. If I pour oil in the engine, could it leak through the valve cover gasket or, does the engine have to be running for the valve cover gasket to be leaking?

[@dial2fast]

The engine needs to be running to see the oil seeping out because your oil is not filled to the top of the valve cover.

[@neilwilliams8608]

Thank you for your reply. When I pour 1 1/2 quarts of oil in, it leaks a little then stops. It's coming somewhere from the passenger side. With or w/o a flashlight, I can't see where it is leaking from!? Even with the tire off. Thanks again.

[@neilwilliams8608]

It has to be a simple problem because If it was a complicated problem, I can figure it out. I don't know why but, that's just the way I am. Thanks again.

[@macster1457]

thanks for the video.. how much would a job like this cost on average?

[@ShahzadAhmadArshi]

Hi, Is it not needed to drain engine oil before removing oil filter?

[@dial2fast]

No because the oil filter sits above the oil pan. You will have some oil drip out when you remove the filter but not too bad. If you happen to be doing an oil change, you can drain the oil first. Either way is fine.

Do you have to drain coolant i read this in service manual on my o6 maxims great video

[@dial2fast]

The black rubber hose you see attached to the cooler is the coolant line. As long as you don't disconnect that and maneuver the oil cooler gently when replacing the o-ring, there is no need to open up that line and drain any coolant. As you see done in the video.

[@jamieharrington9677]

I just replace it like 3 days ago and it still leaks, not as much but it does . Or I wonder what’s around there that could be leaking too

[@urmastertech]

Do you think this would be the same way as on a 03 infiniti g35? I got just over 122k miles and it burns a lot of oil and I changed valve cover gaskets although I noticed it might be leaking now, and there was oil in the spark plug tubes, but I figured while I have the car in the garage I might as well do everything on it. Eventually I'll maybe buy the spark plug seals and try to do it myself or I might just get new valve covers, just figured I could save some money just buying the seals.

[@dial2fast]

+urmastertech The G35 has the same engine but it's mounted longitudinal. I can't say what your oil leak is coming from without checking first. But find your oil filter and take a look behind it.

Did you fix the leak? Great vid!

[@Dunnjunior]

Great video man. I heard a hissing sound coming from my 2004 Nissan quest and when I checked, there was oil all over specially under the filter, but I could not see where. Now I see that it could be on the back. And the hissing could be that the belt was getting oil when rotating right? ·

Best is to get underneath the car and have a look to be sure.

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]

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.

+A A.N The burn oil you smell might be your rear valve cover leaking oil and dripping onto the exhaust manifold which the fumes will get sucked into the window vents. This happened to mine at over 100k miles. Had to replace the valve cover and seal. I did a series of videos showing how to change it. It's a big job. Here is the vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWWUnqx4gq6Sp68

Hi mate my Nissan nv400 2015 van has started leaking oil and after diagnostics Mechanich recons it’s an oil cooler and it needs to be replaced do you think changing that ring will save me spending £300 ? Thanks in advance

[@baronfaison9135]

How do you replace that on a 2000 Nissan Maxima GLE 3.0

[@arnoldperez4004]

Have you heard of a similar problem on the 2005 xterras?

[@dial2fast]

Not sure if the Xterra have this problem but your engine is a 3.3L V6 where this one I showed is the 3.5L V6. You might want to jack the car up and take a look.

[@ferrary3104]

The cooling one you removed it or only the oil

[@kaizerzyo4992]

hi sir,i have nissan frontier 2011...today i seen my turbo hose pipe have oil leak...can u give me know how can i know my frontier problem because before this my problem just a little oil leak bottom my engine

[@carlosrogel444]

Could this also apply for a 2014 pathfinder?

[@thomassiphiwe984]

Does a nissan np200 1.6 8v ,2012/3 model have engine cooler?

[@kristenmorrison4957]

Is this the same thing as the “oil filter cooler housing gasket”?

[@jayissa352]

Does this apply to a 2005 350z vq35de? Im getting a leak only on the passenger side of the car.. already changed the oil pressure switch and still leaking..

[@dial2fast]

I am not sure if the leak issue applies to your car, but Nissan uses the same VQ engine except yours is rotated 90 degrees and there is an oil cooler on the engine. Best to stick your head underneath and take a look.

[@Chris.6]

dial2fast Did you lose any coolant during the procedure?

[@dial2fast]

Takashi8520 No, as long as you don't disconnect the coolant lines to the cooler.

[@houstonsblast713]

Thank you for this video very informative. I also noticed the brake rotor you have it is the same ones i just order and waiting on, how do you like them so far?

[@dial2fast]

Smiley Martinez Mine are from Ebay seller Brakemotive. Had them for several years now, love them and they work great.

[@houstonsblast713]

[@dial2fast]

Smiley Martinez Thanks

[@deaconlewis7752]

Mine wasn't leaking but I thought I would change it now it's leaking I don't have a torque wrench I think I over tightened it and may have nicked it is that possible

[@yourpaltim]

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.

Thank you 🙏 when the Dealer Changed oil started to leak and marked the filter to find out it wasn’t changed again thank saved me money
