  • 2006 Nissan Pathfinder LE Oil Change and Oil Pressure Sensor Repair
    I originally purchased a cheap eBay Oil Pressure Sensor for about $20 and regretted it. This is the second bad oil pressure sensor I purchased from eBay and ended up buying a genuine Nissan one afterwards that worked as expected.
    Video is broken in a few parts:
    1) Oil Change (1:20)
    2) Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement (11:20)
    3) Bad Oil Pressure Sensor Result (19:44)
    4) BONUS Blooper (23:39)

    WOW, I just put in a ebay sensor and oil pressure was low and light came on also. I was in panic mode for like 4 hours until i seen you got screwed with 2 crapy sensors also. Thank you for posting

    The first sensor was correct. Nissan changed the sensor so it will always show mid range pressure. In other words dealers were tired of getting owners complains about the low pressure level and Nissan made a dummy pressure gauge to stop the complains.

    No need to add oil to the filter. I also changed my oil pressure sensor but you can crack the oil pan unless you torque it right according to the specs

    the moral of the story is if your sensor is dirty clean it first before you attempt to remove- unless you like getting dirt back in your engine

    I just bought a 06 pathfinder v6 today with the same issue, I'm hoping that's all it is, i wasn't sure where to find the sending unit. But now I do!!! Your video was incredibly helpful. THANK YOU. a mile from getting it home from the dealership the check engine light came on. I was planning on pickup up a sending unit on my way home anyway, so I swung by the Zone, and pulled the codes. Completely unrelated. p0420 p0430 for both cats, and p-(12)?--11, timing issue, camshaft. Shady dealer. He even mentioned disconnecting the battery to reset the light when I asked him about the Oil Pressure being pegged at High.. DEAD GIVEAWAY, but I missed that flag. Least to say, I was PISSED when I pulled the codes. How can I tell if I only need to replace the O2 sensors, vs both cats, or are there four? What are your thoughts?

    • @GrimRepair
      @GrimRepair Před 2 lety

      You would hook up a high end scanner and watch the upstream and downstream o2 sensors and compare the 2. If they are doing the same thing your cat isn't working. You could also put a 5 gas analyzer in your exhaust and see if it is or isn't burning off excess CO and HC and converting it into CO2. The ecu in these cars is usually smart enough to know if it's a cat or a sensor, unfortunately it's probably your cat.

    @jram1852 Před 2 lety +1

    I think the first sensor was good they are made to fluctuate with RPMS, the oil pump is mechanical not electric so it is driven by the engine that is why it changes with higher RPMS.

    Hi I have a 06 pathfinder preassure was fine all of a sudden when hot needle started to drop and go up been like that for about 2 years now. I change the oil every 5000km. When accelerating normal pressure when at idle dropped. Today it started dropping lower and oil light would come on for a sec or 2 then off when going again. No leaks noticed under the truck. Any advice? Weather is also hotter than usual about 38 degrees Celsius. Could it be oil screen clog?

    I bought two cheaper sensors for 2006 pathfinder and because I thought me oil galley gaskets were bad I spent 1000 dollars replacing them. Still didn't fix it, all it was was a bad oil sensor, make sure you replace me year and exact match because each year is different

  • @stancetv2005
    @stancetv2005 Před 2 lety

    Did the faulty sensor/switch ever cause the "service engine soon" light to come on? I have an SES light that I've cleared twice and continues to return, wondering if my faulty sensor (marks high pressure) is the cause of it. Replacing the sensor tomorrow, so hoping that's the issue.

  • @eminiscalperpro9729
    @eminiscalperpro9729 Před 4 lety

    Note. the 05's had a gauge that showed the exact pressure. so it fluctuated. I.e. , when at idle the needle would drop and then pick up when the rpm's were raised. They changed it to a fixed gauge in 06 or 07. So, if you have the earlier model, the needle will drop down a good ways at idle, this is normal. But, if it gets too low the oil light will come on.
