Great and simple video. I literally just got done with my oil change 15 minutes before typing this comment. Oh yeah this was my first time changing oil ever in my life
Made my day. Thanks for sharing :)
Straight to the point and no terrible introduction! Thanks! Getting started on the car now
Thank you 😄
Another good piece of advice: after everything's done, turn the car on and check for leaks.
Damn I feel like an idiot for paying someone to do this. This seems super easy!
Some of the oils can be expensive but you can still save a lot of money doing it yourself. Just be careful when going under the car, you can probably just get some ramps and always chalk off the back wheels and use your parking break especially for FWD. 😀
Tell me about it. Paid $120 at Valvoline oil change station
@@joeysbestfriend2614 You paid 120.00 for an oil change on a Nissian Altima? You need to go slap you ever upsold you that price, that is a travesty. I spend maybe 30.00 dollars doing myself by us OW-20 walmart brand oil. If you dont feel comfortable doing it yourself it should never cost more than 70 bucks at oil chage station. Cant believe they ripping people off like that.
@@sheltonparkerjr5342 mechanics always overcharge people that's what they do
@@Star-hc9bm lol this is hilarious. I spend 45 to have my local shop do it and they even use full synthetic... its not worth doing oil changes at home for me. Like 10 bucks in labor... okay take my money.
Just bought a 2013 today . I do my own oil changes . Just needed to locate the oil filter. Thanks for this video 👍
Wow. First time in my life changing my oil on my car and did it in 15 minutes. Best video! Great work👏👏
Who dislikes this?! This was extremely informative.
Mechanics who don’t want you to learn
people who hate fram oil filters
Woman… they complain about everything
It was too fast tbh although it is informative
Best vid ever made! Always come back when doing an oil change to make sure I don't mess up.
This is so helpful. I want to try it this week! Thank you so much for the video.
The. Perfect. DIY. Video. Ever. Thank you!!
Thanks for the video. Took my car to an oil shop for them to tell me it would cost 99 dollars for my 2017 Altima and I said no way im doing this every 3 months at that price. Now I can do it myself!
Love this video, point exactly what it takes to get the job done, without the long explanation of simple steps.....keep the good work !
You frfr just saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars in my life, thank you
your videos are literally the best. thanks man
Excellent!!! Short and precise to the pony. Great editing
Never taking my Altima for a “professional” oil change again. Thank you!!!
Straight to the point. Love it brother
Very useful. Step by step information. Thank you!
Thanks for not talking and going straight to the point
Great video looking forward on getting my first oil change done today
I've been using this video every time I need to change my own oil. 😊
excellent job , clean and perfect service !
Very helpful. I have a 2014 Nissan Altima as well. I can change my own oil and won't be ripped off by mechanics.
How has yours treated u
And how many miles
Big help! Had to service an Altima today and couldn't find the filter. Now I know why. Don't forget about resetting the oil life system on the dash though.
Yes good point! Will do!
How do you reset it on the dash. Just starting to do this myself
4Junior4real on your dashboard settings. Scroll to the settings. Go to service. You’ll see oil,tires and other. Go to oil. Scroll down once and hit reset. May need to hold it for a second. And presto! Hope this helps. I don’t do videos but you can also just RUclips how to reset oil maintenance on altima. There are actual videos.
Excellent explanation of how to do it , this is what i was looking for , thanks a lot for uploading this video , it is very helpful 👍👌
+jesus castaneda thanks so much!
Luke
Thanks man 👍👌 good informative video.
Best video ever
Very professional
"account for wind" lmao i like that
Great video, it was to the point and I was able to figure out exactly where under the car and hood you where. I've always wanted to start changing my own oil but didn't know where to start.
Thanks for watch I’m really happy to hear that! :)
His was a well put video thank you very much!!!
Very helpful
Thanks 👍🏼
great videos. I would like to see more nissan altimas.
That is beautifully done. Thanks Boss!
Very helpful,thank you.
Thanks you!!! You got straight to the point!
Thank you! :)
Thanks for the video
Great video! Love how it gets right to business. Would be great to include torque specs for the drain bolt.
Straight to that point thank you
Awesome 👍
Thank you so much, God bless. So helpful thank you.

Some people take the passenger wheel off for better access to the oil filter, but this method seems faster of you have some ramps.
Great damn video!
hi i just wanted to know how trusted are the ramps to put up a vehicle i wanna do my own oil changes but want to know what the best ramps to purchase are ?
excellent very good job
Thanks so much for watching :O)
+freddy mejia Wow thanks!! :)!!
Hello sir, could you tell why did you take used oil and filter to the autozone
Can you make a video on how to change the transmission oil on a nissan altima 2015
How do you take the plastic under cover off to even be able to change the oil?
Nice and simple vid. Thanks. I do recommend using Purolator PureOne oil filters over FRAM though. Much better quality. FRAM filters are basically just cardboard inside lol.
+Phil Lopez thank you!
Purolator filters have a bad reputation for torn media and sliced anti-drainback valves, Tear-O-lator is what many people call them. Fram filters have ZERO cardboard, many people don't seem to understand what cellulose fiber media is.
@@TranslatedAssumption That's why I use their top-tier Purolator BOSS line. Full Synthetic media, not going to tear.
i just did the engine oil change on my 2015 altima yesterday following this vid. however, now it got a weird plastic/burn smell, how do I know if I didnt drain the transmission instead?
I'll try to. Future do things by myself to save money
What’s the torque on the drain bolt? Need to do mine lol. Thanks in advance. Other than that.... best oil change video I’ve ever seen. Good job.
I usually tighten the bolt with my hand, then tighten bolt it unitl it stops moving with tool. I have never had a oil leak after my oil change. You should awlays let you car run for 5 minutes to see if you see an oil leak though.
What tote of oil an filter used for Nissan 2015, Altima 2.5 S.
What type of oil and filter for a 2015 altima?
Great video, but check out all of the videos on Fram filters on RUclips how poorly they are made. Might want to choose a different brand oil filter.
G Bouc true I go with wix oil filters for my truck and car they are a little pricey but are good filters.
Have you considered that those Fram bashing videos are made by clickbait trolls? I keep hearing about the urban legend of Fram failures and "cardboard" end caps but I have never seen actual evidence except from clickbait trolls that have an obvious agenda.
Quick question was this the 4 cylinder Altima or a 6 cylinder?
Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do with my Dim lights on my 2015 Nissan Altima 😢. I do the work on my car but cant seem to find out what i need to try😓
"Use retained or new 14mm bolt and washer." ALWAYS replace the washer! You can re-use the bolt. With a copper washer (not plastic) you can torque to specs. Which brings us to the next point...since the video creator used a TORQUE wrench, it's worth pointing out that proper torque on the drain plug is 25 ft/lbs. IF you don't have a torque wrench & you're in a bind, you can tighten it snug but not too tight...especially w plastic washers (I prefer copper).
How many ramps you ?
Plus -- Run your engine a lil then check oil level againg. 🤙
Good call, I always do that, have to
figure some more oil going into filter.
My local service center suggest me to use 5W-30 instead of 0W-20
Help please
Some warmer areas of the country suggest 5w-30 instead of 0w-20 as the oil is cheaper usually and works in that environment. If you live somewhere that gets cold (below 40F or so frequently) be sure to use 0w-20.
What spec on the 0w-20 oil? Is it dexos 2?
Can you do transmission please I subscribed was very helpful thanks
Yes coming soon! Thank you for subscribing!
love your concise videos! please make the transmission oil video soon.
I seen you used 0-20 oil but online it’s telling me to use 5-30 oil which should i use?
5w-30 if 3.5 SL engine 0w-20 for 2.5 trim
Was this a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder?
Does all of the oil drain out with it elevated like that?
joshmaster618 it should. But if your not too sure you can always lower your vehicle down from the jacks keeping the oil pan under the drain pan.
I had a question, which would be more preferable to lift the nissan car, jack stands or the two ramps to drive on? Just looking out on safety wise or seeking your opinion. Thanks
+Colton Begay Thanks for asking! I really like using the ramps because I find jacks and jack stands annoying. I think the ramps are safer too - as long as you are using them on somewhat level ground and using a wheel block along with setting the parking break. I use the ramps anytime I can get away with it!
Thanks so much for watching,
luke
MINUTE DIY VIDEOS I had another question, say I have this friend whom I was helping replace his filter, he might've over tightened the oil filter, and I detected a small leakage, what should be replaced the filter or no?
Video was great, my only question is why a fram filter when oem is $5 more and the build quality is far superior then fram.
Go for it! I’m poor, I need the $5 bucks. Ive never had an issue with Fram filters ive used them for 25 years. Oil filters are a $29 Billion market so I’m sure most of what I hear about the inferiority of Fram is to take more of their hold on the segment. If you don’t like Fram filters, and stay awake thinking about the horrors of a cheap paper filter not doing a good enough job, even tho trillions of cars use them everyday without issue, then by all means buy into the hysteria and propaganda and give some marketing geniuses more of your money ;) I am constantly given shit about my use of Fram filters, you’ve been the most direct and kind about it! If they are junk and you know that to be true then go with what you know. I don’t know that to be true and I don’t believe cutting oil filters open and looking at them has proven anything valuable to me. Thanks for asking!
Sorry friend but there is absolutely nothing wrong with Fram oil filters. I am well aware of the typical Fram bashing talking points but I have never seen an actual failure of a Fram spin on can oil filter. They ARE built incredibly well and at a terrific price point.
If you're changing oil every per the maintenance schedule, cheap filters work just fine man.
Good video. F fram, though.
Please explain
@@TranslatedAssumption Fram had a 2 dollar rebate on air filters, and just for kicks I sent it in for the 2 dollars. they actually wrote me back a letter saying my Walmart receipt didn't have a date on it and they refused to give me my rebate. I'm certain my receipt had a date on it and very Bush lead to not honor my $2 rebate. I'll never give Fram business again
What kind of oil is best for 2013 nissan altima??
Yeah what Kevin said
So, stupid question, but what do you do with the oil-soaked paper towels? Are those safe to throw away or where do they go?
+Brian Truman hey! Great question, best thing to do is take them with you when you dispose of the oil filter and oil at Autozone or other auto parts that accepts oil, they have special bins out front for empty oil lined containers and oil contaminated waste like paper towels. That's the safest way, otherwise try wrapping them in a plastic bag or ziplock to protect them from any sparks or heat source :) thanks so much for watching!
Great! Thanks very much for the reply!
Iif 0w-20 is unavailable, you can use 5W-30 as substitute.
If you want your engine to die!
What is the oil change interval for the 2015 Altima? I use 0w20 mobile1 and mobile1 extended performance filter.
I'd go 10k. That little motor holding 5qt would make it.
Me personally as a technician, I would not go 10k miles on an oil change. With oil getting better now days, you can definitely go 10k miles on an oil change. DEPENDING on driving habits. The harder you run your engine the quicker your oil life degrades. Id just stick with the oil maintenance reminder on your instrument cluster. When its down to 20% is when I would change it so sludge build up is not really a concern to your engine.
My owners manual says every 5k.
Was this 4 cylinder 2.5 engine size that takes 4.9 quarts ????
S C 4.9
I pay over $100 to have my oil changed at a stop and go shop. I can save over $50 if I do it myself and I’ll know if the right oil was used. They used 5W-30 even though they’ve always used Ow20 the basically told me tough shit.
Thank you
Do you tight filter by hand only?
What about the change of CVT oil
There is no dipstick. only tube
Sorry for the bad language
:}
Jon I’m glad you asked, I’m wondering the same thing. I have seen a number of these oil change vids, but non of them say CVT.
Thanks but im not putting a fram oil filter in any car i own.
NPAMike here we go another moron believing all the bad hype about gram filters
@@robertgarcia9006 its been proven that fram filters are trash
The Hound everyone is upset over the cardboard however all oem bmw filters are cardboard
Show me some actual proof that Fram spin on can oil filters are bad, something that is not from a clickbait troll with an agenda.
1.2.3. done
I have a 3.5 is it the same oil?
No... 5w30 for 3.5
I looked online the manual says you can put 0w-20 or you can put 5w-30 ,under the hood it says to put 0w-20 ,while the manual seems to say you can put either?
Will I ruin my engine by putting 5w / 30? It's a Nissan Altima 2016 model SR
@BaggedWater Yup did the same in the end. Mine is the SR model but only takes 4.9quarts the whole bottle was accidentally put in. I hope that's fine.
When I stopped in AutoZone the guy behind the counter used to work in the Toyota dealership he told me most Toyotas say to use 0w / 20 while you can really use 5w / 30 which would be better for your engine ,but they don't tell you that even though a regular mechanic would put in 5w 30, by the dealership they want to get away cheap and only put what the car recommends. 0w-20
I have a 2015 Altima S 2.5 and always used 5w30 every 5k. No problems ever. I have almost 80k without any issues
My 2015 nissan altima 2.5s has 5 30 oil on the cap?
I feel like going outside to check and my manual shoot... At 11pm at night after watching this
Actually it didnt after checking my gas was wasting fast so i switched to 0w20 my previous altimas took 5w30 tho
@@jaykey6166 you can use either weight, if you take it to the dealership they will cheap out and use 5w30
I have a 2013 Nissan Altima s. It says I need 0W-20 oil but I’m not sure what to use . I went to the dealer ship to purchase the oil and filter but I think it’s bullshit . any recommendations on what oil and filter to use ?
I like Mobile One and Fram filters (most people prefer k&n, but I think Fram work just fine) Costco has 6 quarts of 0w20 Mobile One on sale just about every other month for $28 and Walmart will usually have the 5 quart jug of Mobile One 0w20 on sale for about $27. Thanks for watching!
👌
The only thing that was missing were the torque settings for the bolts.
Torque spec shows 25ft lbs for the drain plug
What type of motor oil does this car require?
Usually it’s stamped on the cap where you pour the oil at but, I believe is 0W-20
Always make sure that the old oil filter seal did not stay on the engine......
Good video, but that Fram oil filter killed it.
Please explain
hey i was told to pour some oil in the filter because the filter holds a good amount of oil,, may i ask , did you do that in this vid?
+Kwame Mcdonald hello! Thanks for the question.
I hear this question a lot about oil filter changes. As it isn't harmful to do this I would say it's optional to fill the filter with oil. But I don't recommend it as it will make a mess as you go to install the filter on some cars like this Altima where the filter is put on horizontally. This would mean all the oil will simply pour out as your tip the filter to install it. So in the video I don't recommend filling the oil filter for this basic reason.
Additionally, the oil filter is very small and retains a very small amount of oil after the engine is shut off and cold. If you are concerned about insuring the level of oil is accurate when installing a new filter, you can run the engine briefly. This will circulate the oil into the empty filter. Then turn off the engine and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then you will get very accurate reading from the dipstick. For the Altima the difference between readings taken without running the engine first and/or without filling the oil filter with oil before installing will be very negligible and most likely unnoticeable difference. A greater but vary slight variance might be seen on cars with filters installed upside down which trap more oil, or with much much larger oil filters like earlier model Mercedes where running the engine before taking the readings can be important.
The other reason I've heard for perpetuating this almost mythical step is the idea that the inside of the filter needs to be lubed or primed with oil first. This is definitely not the case for engines I work on, I'm not sure about every possible engine style so check your particular manual if you have a very rare engine. The filter will instantly be filled and thoroughly "lubed" with oil as soon as your engine is turned on. Maybe it came from a misinterpretation of the necessary step to lube the oil filter gasket with oil.
I hope this gives you the answers you were looking for :) and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much for taking the time to ask I really appreciate it! -luke
i appreciate the response, yea i was taught on my 97 nissan maxima, so now that i have this 5th gen altima, i was going to replicate, but i do agree, that the oil ALWAYS spills when i put oil in the filter and have to go sideways to tighten the filter
Yes. It's called priming the filter. It hold s up to a quart of oil.
Reason for priming is because it will take sometime for the filter to fill while the parts in the engine is running without oil. Is bad in the long run, for the engine. Specially, those old engine with lifters. If you don't do it, you will hear lifters tapping
So you used 4 quarts of oil
Very good.....Also, start the engine and let it run about 15 seconds to let the oil circulate into the filter and then check the oil level again!
Good job!
Thanks!
Nissan dealership charges me $45 each oil change service. It insist I need to take it there because they use the 'Nissan' specified oil. I think it is BS. I hate dealerships.
Foodie it's free at most dealers if you bought the car there.
BigRed Made In America it’s not free, you pay for it in the price of your car, and even then it’s a limited number of changes.
BigRed Made In America Some dealerships offer free oil changes or tires for life. But this cheap dealership doesn't offer anything.
David Derfus Agreed, most dealerships are greed driven and don't offer anything.
I go to the dealer but only get charge 20. I think at that price it’s worth it to go to the dealer right ?
Thank you based god
Thank you 🙏🏻✨
I took my 2015 Altima to get oil change at local Nissan dealership and on the invoice it stated they used 5W-30 but on owner's manual stated 0W-20 (Synthetic). The service dept said my car uses regular convention 5W-30. I told them no, it should be synthetic. I thought the service dept would look up the car on the comp to know the vescosity of the oil. Will the 5W-30 ruin my engine? My car has only 25K miles. Oil change every 5K miles.
I will need to learn how to change my own oil from now on (your video makes it look so easy, thank you) or take it to and diff place.
Foodie they have been putting the same in my car all this time when the hood underneath says synthetic as well I took it to another place and they said they would only put synthetic in cause that's what it require they was getting over conv oil is cheaper breaks down sooner requiring you to come back as to up sell you on other products now I don't have to go back for 7000 miles why would they delibertly not put the specific oil type something is shady here.
Mark Cleveland Exactly! Nissan dealerships are shady. I made copies of my past oil change invoices and circled and underlined the conventional oil 5W-30 and mailed them to Nissan Corporate office. I wrote a cover letter (with a copy of owner's manual of the page stating the oil type) detailing the service advisors, techs and service dept mgr whom I've spoken to about my car's oil type and no effort was made to correct. I hope they all get fired (especially the service advisors and svc dept mgr) trying rip people off. I even called Better Business Bureau on the dealership.
Now I buy the full synthetic oil 0W-20 and filter and take it to a car shop for them to change my oil. We know the owner. The shop only charge $15.
Foodie yeah I got mine as well I didn't think they was like that but I guess I was wrong like why would you delibertly put something you know that's not recommended I'm blown away by this Discovery today and I'm pushing for this service in the extended warranty plan they offered
Mark Cleveland To be honest, I think each Nissan dealership took their queue from corporate. I will keep making a huge fuss until Nissan Corporate and local Nissan dealership acknowledge they were in the wrong. Granted they will never officially admit it but for damn sure I will make sure consumers are aware. They hire consultants to run numbers on payoffs when they get caught. You can be sure they thought it through ripping off consumers in oil changes would be minimal impact to their bottom line b/c why else would they go forward with it? Heaven only knows what other services and products they have pushed, are pushing or will push on consumers that only benefit corporate greed.
Mark Cleveland Keep your receipts and all things Nissan service related, I have a feeling a few class action lawsuits will be on the horizon for Nissan. I pray the lawsuits will be very favorable to consumers.
I use oil 5w-30. What do you think?
Check your owner's manual. 5W-30 is fine I think. My 2013 Altima takes either 5W-30 or 0W20, but 0W-20 is preferred. Strange, one is conventional oil, and one is fully synthetic, and oil need to be changed every 3750 miles!
Only thing missed was name of the tools 🧰
You forgot to show how to reset the maintenance light after oil change lol
Can anyone help does a 2014 Nissan Altima 2.5L take 5w30 or 0w20? Ive been using 5w30 for the past 2 oil changes ? i called autozone and some tell me its 5w30 and others say 0w20?
Check your oil cap on your engine, it's usually labeled.
0w-20
Probably the easiest oil change I'll ever do! Gf pays $95 each at the shop, she can buy a lot of booze with that.
Hahaha good point!
Fuck that that a couple jar of moonshine
Where are people charging this kuch for oil changes???? I pay 45 and even get full synthetic at my shop. And its a very good shop.
Never paying for an oil change again...
Awesome! Thanks for watching :)
