- Hey Good People,
I had a Nissan Murano in the shop. Customer had a huge oil leak coming from the oil cooler gasket. I have done many of these and can do it without taking the oil cooler off. Pretty easy job to do. Make sure you get a gasket that's of quality and do a fresh oil change.
I hope this video teaches you something or gives some kind of edutainment lol
Don't be shy, put your two cents in the comments. I love hearing from everyone.

with your video will save my grandson a lot of money he was going to get rid of his car becuse of the oil leak thank you very much.
Glad I could help
I wish I had a dependable & knowleable mechanic like you. Swear. This is my issue on my Murano.
Thank you so much for this valuable and helpful video. I have a similar issue with my Nissan Murano and am about to replace the oil pan gasket. Fortunately, I found your video and double-checked the leak against my car and it was indeed the Oil cooler gasket. It was easy and simple to replace the oil cooler gasket. Again, many thanks for the awesome video.
Thanks man, so helpful! Now I can fix my grandparents' car!!
Found that for the 2017, the gasket is more flat with a flange and there is not a groove in the housing like the old design. As a result you have to set and hold it as you press the housing back into place. For this reason I had to remove both coolant lines to set the gasket. Trying the other way (without seeing the where the gasket seated), resulted in the gasket falling down. I lost about a quart of coolant, and also learned that I had to refill at the radiator. I thought the coolant would refill from the reservoir, but got some unusual temp readings when I did my initial test drive.
Thanks for posting the video. It got me started down the right path.
I’m glad I was able to help in some fashion thanks for watching
This is awesome! Great job covering this repair. Feel confident about doing this myself now.
Great detail, visual an expert demonstration!
I love your videos , thank you !
Thank you for this information and video!
Thanks for your help, saved me a few hundred at the shop!
Great video, I tried to leave the oil cooler on with the hoses but I don’t put it on right and it was leaking. So I went back and took the hoses off and it works great my mom is so happy thank you so much.😊
Glad I could help and salute to you 🫡 for taking care of mama!
I’m going to put this on TikTok see you there thank you for helping me
Great video mate awesome job 👍
Oddly I had the issue with a 2010 Murano as well. Worked perfectly. $6 gasket and a couple of hours of my time, taking my time at it and no hiccups.
Thanks for this video my Homie.
My pleasure buddy thanks for watching
Thanks for a very helpful video 👍💯
Glad it was helpful!
Muy bien video, ahora se cómo hacerlo yo mismo en mi camioneta, les cuento luego como estubo.
Gracias por todo.
Thank you so much for the video god bless you brother
You’re welcome my brother! Thanks for watching.
Alex, a suggestion - use a mobile shelf cart to put the tools and parts on, instead of a lift arm. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching buddy. I will look into that thanks for your feedback
Thank you so much for making this effort.
Thanks for the video
No problem 😄
Thank you
Hey Alex does the axle seal also a common problems with this muranos?
What do you know about a 2005 Nissan Murano engine Light & Brake Light coming on. A new Battery & new alternator was removed & installed I'd learned that the battery amperage was at 600, too low & needed to be 700 amperage so I purchased a 750 amperage battery for $21 it seemed to have corrected itself but at a later time bothe indicators returned. Could that be a bad alternator or wrong alternator. I'm only learning myself. Thanjs for your expertise!
Thanks
Thank u
You’re Welcome
Hey doc I’m sorry to bother you but I got a 2016 Chrysler 300 c awd and my front differential cover only is broken but nobody know how to change it because is weird and thing is that everyone is telling me that doesn’t exist the AWD can u help me to explain the situation :)
Hey buddy my CZcams family is never a bother.awd 300 Do exist lol the person told you that is lacking knowledge. Can you look me up on Instagram and send me a picture if possible
I need to know because I’m going out to go get it for my car
Sorry to respond so late I’m having a hard time keeping up these days with running a shop and answering questions on here
Does the gasket only go one way? Thanks for the video. Helps a lot.
There is no top or bottom to the gasket
@@AlexTheCarDoctor ty sir. Ty for the vid.
You'll always want to detach the line to the right as contaminants from the faulty gasket can get into the cooling system that's why at my shop we always remove that line and this way we can get to the back of the filter housing and make sure that it is absolutely 100% spotless. This is so that you have a proper seal which is extremely important.
Thank you for your input 👨🏽🔧
👍👍👍👍
Is that the same for Nissan Munro 2009 I have the oil the same way
Yes it’s the same buddy
Can you shine some light on a issue I have , Please! I am attempting to do this on my 05 Murano. However I guess the previous owners put the oil filter so tight. I can Not get it off. Can you tell me how to get it off? I just don't understand why someone would over tighten it like this , to where I can't get it off.
Get a big pair of Chanel lock pliers or take a screw driver, hammer it straight through the oil filter and twist the screwdriver till it comes off.
is this the same as the job on 2005 2.5 nissan altima ???thanks
Hey there I think this only applies to the V6 models
@@AlexTheCarDoctor yes..mine is totally different..thax
Hello Car Doctor, Thank you so much for your vid. I am female who doesn’t know much about car mechanics to help myself but I just bought a 2009 Nissan Murano S and realized it has a huge oil leak and I am panicking. I went to Google and found your vid and it’s almost identical to my leak. Thing is I want to get an idea of what problem I potentially be looking at before I try to find a mechanic who might try to tell me otherwise; nor do I need them taking my car apart unnecessarily as free buying this car I cannot afford much else. I don’t want to feel I got a lemon also. I took a video of what I could but it seems almost exactly line the leak in your video. Is this a pricey job? Anyway I can upload my little video? I am feeling depressed already just didn’t have a mechanic to check beforehand and it would have costed me anyhow and the car was not licensed to go on the roads so I know I took a risk. Thanks for any info! Appreciate your postings in helping us all.
Send it to me on Instagram or upload it here on CZcams and tag me so I can have a look.
@@AlexTheCarDoctor Thank you so much for responding.
i see you have a jaguar behind you i really need help diagnosing an electrical problem im having with my 2011 XF
What problems are you having? Electrical diagnostics are a little tough from a distance, but I’m willing yo give it a shot!
@@AlexTheCarDoctor Ok, so i replaced alternator and battery terminal cables and my car is still intermittent stalling. sometimes the cut off will last an hour then cut on and drive sometimes itll be days or weeks before it drives again. Ill recharge the battery and sometimes itll start then die 5 minutes later. just this week it ran for two days then died on the highway while driving. when trying to start it- it will try to turn over until the battery is fully drained.
@@WLVSTV hey buddy that’s a hard one to point you in the right direction without seeing it. Do you have any lights on the dash
@@AlexTheCarDoctor yeah currently only seeing about 1 light and the battery symbol is stuck flashing on when driving the indicator i see is an exclamation point in parenthesis and honestly cant think of the name of it currently but only that light
@@WLVSTV it sounds like you have a bad alternator that needs to be checked. Do you know how to check alternator’s
i replaced the gasket and it leaked more ?
Me too howd you fix it?
@@gabelopez5954 you have to be down there while they turn on the car so u can make sure the gasket is on correctly
Amen to a cart to put ur tools on. I learned it in my "how to not be a democrat" course. It will increase productivity by 30%.
It makes life easier when it comes to the auto repair world
YOU SHOULD USE IMPACT SOCKETS
I normally do you caught me being lazy I did not feel like finding the socket
You should use lower case
Not oil cooler. Need on changing front seal.
Really nice to learn its easy like this ,
But in fact you just lost a easy job hahaha.!
Thank you
Thanks for watching. Lol but I bet I earned another sub from you right
Thank you
