  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

  • @willsrestorations
    @willsrestorations Před 10 měsíci +2

    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.

    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.

    • @AlexTheCarDoctor
      @AlexTheCarDoctor  Před rokem

      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.

    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.

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.
