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

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.

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.

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?

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?

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).

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.
@dial2fast7 жыл бұрын
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.

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?

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.

I have an oil leak on my 1999 Nissan Frontier Truck XE 4X4, I just can't seem to locate. I took it in to the Nissan Dealership and they claimed it was a leak from the oil sending unit. This was replaced and it still leaks. I've had several friends claim it most likely is from the rear main seal. This truck has 145,000 miles and is street driven only. Any ideas or oil leak problems known from this model truck? Also, it has a 3.3 liter 6-cylender engine and automatic Transmission. Thank you.

Thank you and really nice video very helpful for many of us! also I was wondering if you could have an Idea but every time Im running the heater after driving my '05 nissan quest for a while and then I park the vehicle with the engine running it smell like burn oil inside the car. any idea on that? Thanks again
@dial2fast9 жыл бұрын
+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.

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

Have you heard of a similar problem on the 2005 xterras?
@dial2fast10 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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

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
