How to service a Nissan engine

We hope this video will help you understand what is required to service your 4x4 Engine 2.5 TD. And also the pit falls if not done correctly. We only service cars on a Saturday with only 4 slots available and we need 4 weeks notice at all times. By all means do the Service yourself and save money we can send you the parts you need by post and we hope this video will help you do it.

[@bruce8710]

That's the second time I've serviced my engine using this guide! You guys rock

[@danielcaradonna7432]

How a mechanic is suppose to be, knows his shit and is honest to the customer

[@bruce8710]

I just changed all my filters with the help of this video. Fantastic job mate. I did have to get a translator mind you as I don't speak northern. :)

[@westyorkshireengineservice9160]

Cheers mate all the best with it, The Team!

[@HerewardDundasTaylor]

I'm Australian mate. I had no problem understanding him! :)

[@angiewor]

Hi took my nissan navara for a free health check. Very friendly staff and free good advice we have booked it in for MOT and a service I hope your son likes is ice pops .

[@westyorkshireengineservice9160]

Nestled in the freezer perks of the job. Thanks for calling in today any concerns just give me a bell see you next month i hope good look with Nissan.

[@holdfast7657]

Well done for this vid. I noticed the fuel filter on this one didn't have the water sensor underneath. Only criticism was I kept saying stop, stop, stop as you tightened the oil filter.

[@shimon2476]

Is that normal for some to come with the sensor and some without?

[@astront917]

i just got a discovery 2 td5 year 2000, 42,000 miles from new,basic motor i know but so easy to work on and solid as a rock, judging by most modern shite i think i got a bargain at £2600, yes its older and doesnt have an ipod plug but i can work on it ! great informative videos that made me go for an old motor.

[@kennybassarath7168]

Great video my friend. You put yourself in danger by not using a jackstand when you take off the wheel.

[@markschwager1352]

K&N oil filters come with a 25mm nut fixed on top of the oil filter .Makes R&R much less complicated than with filter grab idea.They also make washable air filters. cheers love your work!!

[@conmanumber1]

hi from n.z. i.m.o k&n is crap unless used on a track race day. they are nothing more that a sieve that lets in fine dust. at our Can-am dealership we have a lost of idiots using theme on high end road bikes which come in dusted which engine is destroyed by fine dust. if anyone wanted these shit filters used on Komatsu, Cummins,Cat, or other heavy diesels the makers wont wear it.

[@zuberilol]

Great vid mate👍 I changed my oil filter painfully from underneath the car, very dirty and hard to get to. ( and then a few weeks later I replaced the fuel filter 😂)

[@commodore665]

What a place to put the oil filter , almost like it was an after thought .

[@nathanreid2974]

dirt from the filter may also come out with the oil as well

[@mlinosty5979]

Is it easier on a lift

[@Falco45able]

That’s not a lift pump , it’s a bulb primer. Lift pumps were on cars and lorries plant machines back in the day they worked off the camshaft and you could manually prime and see the fuel through a small glass dome...

[@blakejessfilms1308]

Oil filter just needs to be tightened by hand not over tighten

[@bailz2506]

hey guys love the videos. just a quick hint, to ease the mess made by removing the oil filter I usually dump the oil in the sump first so the filter empties, then remove the filter.

[@westyorkshireengineservice9160]

Hi if it is not broke dont fix it but at least you are onto possible future faults look out for under powered and black smoke then do it. Thanks for watching more due out soon.

[@Alock94]

Doesn’t matter if you dump the sump oil, it still sits in the filter.

[@jayline8250]

I've been changing the oil on my cars and trucks for 45 years never have I seen an oil filter on so damn tight before and installed so tightly, was curious because I'm thinking about buying a frontier

[@renedeboer7348]

that happent more that they are tight ,, it have to do with engine get hot than cold and it is than per hand it still can happen but you right it have to be hand tight

[@johnwighton]

I suggest you add in the title, 2.5dci, most Pathfinder videos are US based and focus on the V6. I am UK based. A tip for others is to access the filter from below, this only entails removing the two rearmost shields. After which the oil filter can be reached from below - a much quicker and simpler way to do it. You can also apply just hand torque to tighten the new one. I was surprised at how much oil came out - approx 7.5lts. Good videos, thanks very much. I have had the dreaded dash light issue that relates to the gearbox switches, the autos have different switches to the ones you show (in another video) and requires the gearbox dropping to access them.

[@leeviteivonen3363]

Im planning on buying a 2009 Nissan pathfinder. Now i know where to get my parts and get help if i run into problems! I live in Finland btw.

[@Camdenghost]

You are fantastic you tell the truth real mechanic 100%

[@jonahjones7120]

good video mate ..glad you drop things thought it was only butter fingers ..make my job easy for next service ..very clear .also agree with changing oil earlier many thanks

[@billyhenry4488]

Master cylinder was not plugged back

[@jamesskevington4388]

Just bought a Navara a couple weeks ago and definitely gunna use your video whilst I have a play haha! Good stuff boys! Up in Yorkshire at the end of the month maybe I might pop in for a nose ;) peace. ✌️

[@westyorkshireengineservice9160]

Thanks for that buddy 😊

[@FJaypewpew]

James how is the cab space? I’ve had a go in one but was alarmed with how close my head was, like 1cm space and not much leg room unless I wasn’t using the chair right, I’m 6’2 so it suprised me I wasn’t expecting to have that issue I’m really

[@westyorkshireengineservice9160]

FJaypewpew doesn’t bother me I’m only 5.8 so all good 😌

[@FJaypewpew]

@@westyorkshireengineservice9160 might have to hop in it again and see, cheers for the reply

[@bradlyoopa6215]

you guys are legends...

[@jeremym9994]

Thanks for the video. Stupid location for the oil filter, my oil filter was tight, but not as bad as the one in the video!

[@loveknowsnoborder]

The easy way to pull the engine cover off is to remove the front two bolts and lift it at an angle and oull it towards you, that will leave the rubber grommet on the bolts and much easier to install it back on !

[@Patrick-fp2jz]

Not only the tyre lever is shit they supply but the jack. I learnt the hard way the jack the supply isnt tall enough to lift the truck high enough to remove the wheel

[@mohammedlaredj7695]

Thanks a lot......very educational and helpful....best wishes.....

[@FergusScotchman]

I have one... never imagined how much of a pain that was for something that needs to be done regularly.

[@jeymans77]

im fascinating with the engine bay..and for the diy services...i think better let the expert do thier job..

[@user-dv1uy5fw8s]

Ilike Navara kun doing well and the edge that brings me to watch me in Thailand

[@geraldpascal5643]

good work guys keep it up

[@HuntingandfishinginCyprus]

nice and helpful video.last year i bought a navara. so i had the same difficulty with the oil filter replacement. thanks for the informations

[@lukepaki7231]

Nice impact n thanks for using torch

[@scientificcoveruphuangyanl5736]

Oil filter seal can dislodge while screwing on..suggest place filter on engine if loose..can mean a new engine...and expensive oil everywhere..adding oil to seal is a seperate issue..

[@davidellis279]

Those oil filters are supposed to be spun on hand tight not tightened up with a ratchet it's no wonder there so difficult to undo. If you go to any of the major tyre replacement shops you will find them using impact guns to put wheels on and then check them with a torque wrench which is Crazy because they have already been overtightened usually by unskilled staff. I have just done a Kia's brakes which had only ever been serviced by Kia Bolton and had to use a 3/4 commercial drive socket and bar with a 5ft aluminium tube to undo the wheel nuts. If you own one of these vehicles I suggest you check your wheel nuts before you get a puncture on the motorway and can't get the wheel off. I spoke to Kia Bolton about this but denied ever over tightening the nuts but the evidence spoke for itself.

[@wingscancer]

same thing happened to me. told them and they said they dont use a gun to tighten them. i said well my dash cam says otherwise. then then told me oh well if they did it has a setting to stop so it does not over tighten it. =/

[@daisy9152]

If the vehicle has been used off road, especially on a beach, sand and dirt can accumulate around the filter and fall in to the flange when removed. This must be cleaned with compressed air or pressure washer first

[@Doc607]

Changed the oil now have oil leaking out of the oil filter housing. By the way thanks for all your videos

[@MrMrmicah]

Hey mate, I love your videos, just wondering if you could make a video showing the sound of a good healthy d40 running so there’s a baseline to diagnose wrong sounding running. Thanks from Australia

[@westyorkshireengineservice9160]

Micah Leinonen Hi buddy I never thought of that what a great idea All the very best Des 😊

[@PELTY100]

I drop the drivers wheel off and wheel arch lining to change the oil filter

[@pauljacobson7212]

thank you for showing the easy way to change that damn oil filter. the Nissan tecks need a good arse kicking for this design.

[@conmanumber1]

of course there is the cabin air filter too which picks up a lot of matter.

[@HerewardDundasTaylor]

Where's that located?

[@tiemanmalcolm]

There may be a benefit of the upside down oil filter when you do a simple oil change the contaminated oil would drain out without needing to change it every time? any comments?

[@holdfast7657]

Ashamed to say that the first time I did an oil change on my Pathfinder I spent almost an hour looking for the filter.

[@supermanwhereareyounow3081]

That is one of the most p.i.t.a filter location. That will do a little number on the hoses,clamps and clips for each and everytime we have to do all that to get the filter out. I was going to do it myself but I do not know about taking off all those hoses.

[@pvpcrepairs]

Thanks mate, very informative.

[@niciomila]

Nice job forgetting to put back the hose to the break booster hahah

[@conmanumber1]

The ford rangers here if drained for more than 10 seconds it can have the varible speed oil pump rooted. on my d40 i will be installing a Racor pre filter and water trap to clean 98 percent before fuel enters factory 2 micron filter.

[@themechanic4222]

First 10 second I thought u speaking Russian 🇷🇺

[@carlosvaldez2154]

And here I thought the American v6 frontiers had a horrible filter location.

[@elonsus9747]

I know it's ridiculous. The hole for the filter is so small. I just took of my skid plate to change it. Toyota's 4.0 V6 is much easier. The oil filter is right on top of the engine (single VVTI) engines only though.

[@adriankiraly5172]

Oil filter replacement looks so painful. I can change a filter on W123 diesel in 2 minutes. Filter housing on top, secured by two nuts.

[@paulapaul2428]

I notice this is the spanish built model the thai built model is slightly different

[@Sgt.MajorDani]

uhm.. easy handtight + quarter of a turn is what i have learned.. But what do i know .. i would never leave any of my cars to this dude though

[@mohamedhoosein5593]

hi buddy great videos I have a 2013 Nissan navara 2.5td.i have an engine leak on the right hand side of the engine above the engine mounting .can you give me advice as to what I should be looking for in order to repair it.

[@philgray1023]

Do you think Nissan make the oil filter mountings especially difficult for folks at home. The ZD30 is the worst engine for an oil change that I have ever done. I reckon it must be a design brief. Even a Reliant Robin was easier. My Perkins/Volvo MD50 is so easy that I could do it wearing my best clothes and be sure of not getting dirty. Given that it sits in a tunnel in my boat I'm pleased that it is. I'm off to do battle with the fuel filter now. Well that was fun. Why didn't I think that pulling the water sensor out would release a load of diesel over me, the floor the battery etc. Next time!

[@westyorkshireengineservice9160]

Bad design well said

[@KoreanMustang]

Bendix Australia recommends replacing brake pads at 3mm.

[@HerewardDundasTaylor]

front or rear?

[@josedelcarmenaquino4707]

gracias x los sus comentarios

[@Kirk1923]

Hi mate thanks for the vid, do you possibly have a video or a detailed description where the engine temp sensor is on a d40 07 navara, I've found the loom cable as it was left undone by the previous owner but I've tried radius'ing the cable and can't seem to find it, cheers in advance bud

[@khoztijoriwala4688]

Hi could you do a vid on locating and replacing oxygen sensors? Thanks

[@cobainfat]

Hey buddy, great video. Great to see someone adding videos for a particular make like you do. At the moment I've got a problem with my 2010 d40 Thai. It's done 135kms and had a timing chain replaceed at 125kms. Now it's stalling on start up, it's ok if I keep it above 1,000rpm and when it's warm I don't have a problem. Nissan are telling me it's the timing chain again. Thought it's not really noisy this time. Could stalling like this be something else? I've also noticed a fair bit of smoke, I installed a catch can but it hasn't really done anything. Would really appreciate some advice from an expert like yourself.. Thanks heaps!!

[@Vard0]

Hi Chris. I had this problem on mine and it was down to using a 3rd party diesel filter. As soon as I changed back to a Nissan filter, the problem went away. Hopefully your problem is as simple as this. Cheers

On a 92 sentra 1.6 we changed the fuel filter and 1 injector and now it wont start, what do you think? Thanks

[@michaelpate9718]

timing chain has been changed and all the cogs and drift key it ran then chucked it and came up with cam sensor fault

[@-b0j-]

This video is dynamite! Thank you as I was struggling with the oil filter location & change. I need to carry out a coolant change and I can't vouch for the existing being Nissan supplied coolant. Should I do a full drain and flush with a can then replenish?

[@dazalenko4250]

I jack the passenger side up and rock it, get about another litre of dirty oil out.

[@artfte]

Wonderful video .May I ask Does the Manual Fuel Pump have a non-return Valve in it ? thank you

[@77FINNBEAR]

Great content! How long would it replace old alternator and belts ? Also put on new EGR . Which has already been removed . Getting a few mixed quotes. Keep up the great work.

[@damiansmith5349]

Hi all love the videos very informative however my diesel filter has a wire connected to the base on my 08 R51 Pathfinder is this something aftermarket? Or a different filter to what you have in the UK

Hi is there a difference in the d40 yd25 to a d22 yd25 can the blocks be changed

[@jackdangen]

Hi mate cool videos! I have a nissan navara d40 2007 stx When i am going up hills it stalls easy and then will not start again it turns over then it cuts out again any idea what this could be? Or if i start it and then turn it off again it will not start?

[@nickbenzie729]

Do you have a video about power steering when I’m parting I can hear the belt squealing and the steering wheel vibrates, I have checked the fluid level and it is ok I think the belt needs tightened but I don’t know how too

[@craigh4677]

Why crank on the oil filter? Even the instructions say hand tighten.

[@alstonbrown3739]

hi, we change the fuel pump complete and the accelerator pedal, we reset the ecu. it work fine for a few days then went into limp mode again. we did the manual fuel pump rest like you showed that didnt work. nissn navara vin# MNTVCUD40Z0602069 automatic

Thanks for the content. Complete novice question here, how tight in NM did the oil filter go on? You had a hard time getting it off, but you also screwed it on there tight as F from what I saw. I was always told hand tight, what is that in NM? Can you explain in more detail please?

I will buy a navara 2013 model what you say ? It’s good car ?

[@nenadnikolic3901]

Is it normal Navara d40 2.5dci blow by on dipstick?

[@michaelproust7891]

I've got a petrol Dx 2.4 1998 ute (Australia). I need those good quality parts, the triple chain, and those quality big end bearings (triple coated) you mentioned in a u tube. I have a little bit big end rattle at low revs, I didn't tension the caps properly, after replacing the bearings of an old overheated engine. I replaced the head gasket and had the head machined, it was OK. I would like to do the job properly this time. New high compression pistons and a proper hone (the barrels are very good) I honed them using a DIY device. Could you give me the specifics on the tensioning, price for all the parts and advice please?

[@toddchapman3017]

This is a top video. Can you help with confusion on what oil to buy please as the DPF confuses me. I have 9th/2012 navara d40 manual 4x4 spanish VKS 6 SPEED 2.5L. Would really appreciate clarification on weather mine has a DPF or not please?

[@slametkrussche8479]

Hi legend, i try to change the timing chain on my navara D40 2007 Spanish . After take all the chain out find out this. Please give advise why on this video this part its move and can't open one of the bolt.

[@westyorkshireengineservice9160]

Can you send me a photo to [e-mail] hopefully I can help

[@HerewardDundasTaylor]

I've an Automatic JAN2013 VSK and this video has been really helpful. I just bought an identical oil filter remover as result of seeing yours! I'm assuming this is VSK, Spanish Navara? I'm also assuming that oil+filter, check brake pads and visual checks as you've done is all that needs to be done every 12,000? What's the best grade oil to use for an auto? Thanks from Blue Mountains, Australia

[@hume4x4]

Also with the impact tools. Every single garage uses power tools to put lugnuts on and off wheels. Of course hand tight first. Then torque to spec after car has been lowered. Its not unprofessional, its absolutely stupid to think a mechanic would use 10+mins labour to ratchet each lug nut tight.

[@vegforce4518]

I changed the fuel filter but the bulb primer doesn't get hard. Is it possible that air is trapped somewhere in the system between filter and fuel pump despite running? Starting is fine, although get major power loss revving to 3800 rpm (no stalling, limp mode resets after switching off/on)... or could it be that fuel return valve mentioned in another video. 2009 D40 Euro5 81000km

[@Kelvin555s]

Hi, in fuel filter there is a sensor, I was thinking how to remove the sensor plug without damaging it. Don't see it was in your video.

[@brandonjcollins1062]

There is a little metal clip that clips in from underneath the connector. Just need a flat screwdriver underneath the connector and pull the clip down. The connector then comes off easy.

How oftern do you need to replace the diesel fuel filter?
