And that's as simple as keeping your foot off the brake and hitting the ignition button twice and getting the dash to light up. Now that our oil change is done on our 2010 Murano, I'm going to reset the maintenance light. Now I let the car settle for a serious good 20 minutes so hopefully all the oil in the dipstick tube is settled down. See what I meant? If you flip it over here where the marks are not, it's pretty much indicating that it's right there where it should be. Too much oil is actually worse than low oil. We want to be right about the base of the high. Before I dirty it up, you can kind of see the H right here and there's a little bit of an L right there-so that's low and that's high. Sometimes you'll have one side way up here and the other side way down. The reading is always like crazy off the wall. The way they design their dipsticks, it takes awhile for the oil to settle down on the stick. I can tell you something a little bit about Nissans. It's located right with the yellow handle. Now the car has settled for a little bit, so all the oil will go back to the pan and I can pull the dipstick. Now with the oil in it and the oil cap securely tight I'm going to start it and run it for about a minute and then shut it off. This particular 2010 Murano with a V6 takes five quarts of 5 30. Once it's flush give it a quarter turn and you're done. We're going to collapse that gasket and it will make a seat. And now it's going to become a crushed washer so a 14 millimeter socket. And you'll see how that gasket bottoms out.

Now we're going to install the oil drain plug with the new gasket. I had the possibility of splicing the tin, and then your oil filter would be blown. I'm going to turn it about a half turn to a quarter turn. Once it bottoms out you're going to want to. But this one is a sideways one, so some might drain out. For some engines the filter is straight up. You might lose some oil when you tip it sideways if you've primed it. And make sure your gasket-put some fresh oil, the clean oil on the gasket. Then I'll take my new filter, which I've primed. Road salt and sand, so I'm going to clean that surface.

The car engine can get dirty from the outside.

I want to make sure there's no debris or old oil there. Before I install my new oil filter, I take a clean rag, and I'm going to clean the surface, the mounting surface. Now it comes time to fill the oil filter with fresh oil. You can also get the copper crush washer at the same time. It's a one time use so every time you get a filter, which we stock, we stock the OE factory Nissan filters at 1A. And the way to install it, it just screws right on like a washer. You can see how it's not even working properly. I'm going to cut this plastic washer off and replace it with the correct one. Here we have our drain plug for our Nissan Murano and someone has used a plastic washer on it when the factory actually requires a copper crush washer. Now with a 14 millimeter wrench or socket we're going to loosen up the drain plug on the oil pull. I've got a catch basin underneath it and I'm going to loosen it up. I'm going to put my filter wrench on there. The oil filter is located in the passenger fender well, so if you want to raise it up you can take the flare plastic shield out of the way and expose the filter.

That's right at the level it should be with it cold. This car has been sitting and that's perfect. If they look standard, regular fill, like the power steering is right at the max with it cooled. Because if I see any fluid that's exceptionally low like power steering fluid or brake fluid, what I'll do is look for leaks at that point. Another thing I like to do is a quick visual before I raise the vehicle and go underneath. This assures me that there's no oil in the vehicle and not to start it if I happen to walk away or someone comes over and looks under the hood.
