one underneath a 2012 Chevrolet 00:00:18.59000:00:18.600 Cruze to fix an oil leak oil cooler 00:00:23.12000:00:23.130 behind the catalytic converters leakin I 00:00:26.14000:00:26.150 got eight millimeter bolts here we'll 00:00:31.16000:00:31.170 take this shield off here and some 00:00:34.72900:00:34.739 players here and take these clips off 00:00:37.60000:00:37.610 bolt I'm gonna bolt back here of course 00:00:43.54900:00:43.559 we'll be taking these off probably 00:00:44.93000:00:44.940 thirteen millimeter bolts maybe twelve 00:00:47.29900:00:47.309 maybe spray some penetrant down those 00:00:49.61000:00:49.620 threads first we're going to take out 00:00:52.34000:00:52.350 these little uh it's an e 12 bit 00:00:58.34000:00:58.350 and there's two up on top ones holding 00:01:00.56000:01:00.570 the oil dipstick rack and the other ones 00:01:03.89000:01:03.900 holding the oxygen sensor bracket 00:01:10.00000:01:10.010 here's what I'm using there it is an e 00:01:12.10000:01:12.110 12 00:01:16.14000:01:16.150 we get up there and these are smaller 00:01:21.15000:01:21.160 there might be an e 10 but the tones up 00:01:23.25000:01:23.260 top were bigger so there you gots a 00:01:27.12000:01:27.130 small to small ones down here and to 00:01:28.80000:01:28.810 bigger ones up top so we'll probably 00:01:32.07000:01:32.080 pulling the dipstick tube out as well 00:01:34.05000:01:34.060 just by a wearing on their will we got 00:01:35.85000:01:35.860 the bracket off and we'll fly pull that 00:01:37.53000:01:37.540 up and out so you can get the shield off 00:01:42.02000:01:42.030 so I've got a special tool for these 00:01:45.30000:01:45.310 pins but you can just usually dig it out 00:01:47.34000:01:47.350 with us some couple small screwdrivers 00:01:54.47000:01:54.480 pull it out like that and there's one 00:01:58.35000:01:58.360 too over here as well just pop these out 00:02:02.04000:02:02.050 and get this shield out of here 00:02:11.68000:02:11.690 13 millimeters what they are almost so 00:02:23.44000:02:23.450 13 millimeter but you get the idea got 00:02:26.41000:02:26.420 my nice little uh dawn here that's a 00:02:29.35000:02:29.360 pretty good job so we got the bolts out 00:02:35.47000:02:35.480 of the here and there lipstick to kind 00:02:39.19000:02:39.200 of loose oxygen sensor connector push 00:02:47.77000:02:47.780 here 00:02:57.45900:02:57.469 see the bracket hanging there 00:03:09.27000:03:09.280 dipstick with the o-ring put some oil or 00:03:11.58000:03:11.590 maybe some grease on this when you put 00:03:12.99000:03:13.000 it back in there's a nice 00:03:32.82000:03:32.830 I might take this bracket off to get the 00:03:36.51000:03:36.520 heat shield off 00:04:07.19900:04:07.209 so the pregnant want you to unbolt the 00:04:09.47900:04:09.489 AC to get it out of the way maybe of the 00:04:12.31900:04:12.329 bracket here 00:04:36.21900:04:36.229 boom so the instructions don't say 00:04:38.80000:04:38.810 anything about taking off much of 00:04:41.98000:04:41.990 anything did honestly end up just 00:04:44.73900:04:44.749 tweaking this a little bit yes it can be 00:04:47.11000:04:47.120 want to break anything so do anything 00:04:49.70900:04:49.719 right now at your own risk but I just 00:04:51.87900:04:51.889 tweaked these a little bit outward and 00:04:55.62900:04:55.639 it slid out so you've been warned to be 00:05:00.27900:05:00.289 very careful you're kind of on your own 00:05:05.11000:05:05.120 there otherwise you need to unbolt the 00:05:10.95900:05:10.969 AC and pull it back a little bit for 00:05:14.32000:05:14.330 that take the serpentine belt off 00:05:17.33900:05:17.349 tensioner there take the belt off and do 00:05:22.42000:05:22.430 undo the four probably thirteen 00:05:24.93900:05:24.949 millimeter bolt old me AC on but here we 00:05:30.01000:05:30.020 are and now we got ten millimeter bolts 00:05:33.33900:05:33.349 for the exhaust manifold I'm getting 00:05:36.51900:05:36.529 quite a puddle of oil down there when I 00:05:37.95900:05:37.969 took the dipstick out let's check it out 00:05:42.75000:05:42.760 didn't realize there'd be that much so 00:05:45.15000:05:45.160 we need a pan underneath here get a pan 00:05:48.45000:05:48.460 before you take the dipstick tube out 00:06:08.96000:06:08.970 all right so you get the general idea 00:06:10.95000:06:10.960 we're gonna take off the bull nuts off 00:06:13.47000:06:13.480 the exhaust manifold ten millimeter nuts 00:06:18.71000:06:18.720 for me we'll take them off and this 00:06:21.21000:06:21.220 exhaust manifold out of here 00:06:32.36000:06:32.370 oh yeah the bracket a bracket to undo as 00:06:45.35000:06:45.360 well 00:06:59.71000:06:59.720 so close 00:07:12.31000:07:12.320 you get that bolt there - two bolts and 00:07:16.36000:07:16.370 if we have to we can loosen up those 00:07:17.80000:07:17.810 bolts on the engine as well right there 00:07:22.86000:07:22.870 plug that up with something so dirt and 00:07:25.00000:07:25.010 debris or that bolt doesn't fall in 00:07:26.44000:07:26.450 there so that bolt out and noise should 00:07:30.10000:07:30.110 you lift this up and out 00:07:57.67000:07:57.680 well I didn't expect that really going 00:08:02.08000:08:02.090 down there and I guess you can do that 00:08:05.29000:08:05.300 when you're doing the oil cooler 00:08:09.55000:08:09.560 assembly here they're going to do some 00:08:12.52000:08:12.530 cleaning on it 00:08:37.70900:08:37.719 all right so here's what we see I did 00:08:41.17000:08:41.180 take the oxygen sensor out it's a 7/8 00:08:43.48000:08:43.490 socket wrench wrench 00:08:58.72000:08:58.730 they do make oxygen sensor sockets over 00:09:05.24000:09:05.250 there to allow for the wiring all bolts 00:09:08.33000:09:08.340 are left to loosen right to tighten 00:09:10.46000:09:10.470 along with the nuts 00:09:16.23000:09:16.240 so we'll take this pipe off next we're 00:09:19.53000:09:19.540 on both adhere to a 10 is the socket 00:09:22.49900:09:22.509 there 00:09:28.32000:09:28.330 so one bought that and then pull it out 00:09:32.85000:09:32.860 of the assembly 00:09:38.35000:09:38.360 took the radiator cap off or the 00:09:41.62000:09:41.630 overflow bottle here took that off just 00:09:45.76900:09:45.779 turns on and off got a coolant jug 00:09:49.28000:09:49.290 underneath to to catch the coolant that 00:09:50.81000:09:50.820 comes out 00:10:17.36900:10:17.379 so we'll let the coolant a drain out for 00:10:20.13900:10:20.149 a little while here and remove that pipe 00:10:43.85000:10:43.860 ghetto ring on here 00:10:56.90000:10:56.910 you've got a whole ring in here it looks 00:10:58.61000:10:58.620 like 00:11:02.82000:11:02.830 we're gonna let it drain as much as we 00:11:04.41000:11:04.420 can to try and avoid having coolant to 00:11:08.01000:11:08.020 go into the oil when we take the cooler 00:11:09.94900:11:09.959 top of the engine may even be able to 00:11:13.56000:11:13.570 jack up the back of the vehicle so that 00:11:17.48000:11:17.490 it flows out better 00:11:23.88900:11:23.899 we can even jack up the front of the 00:11:26.05900:11:26.069 engine to keep it from flowing to let 00:11:28.81900:11:28.829 that run pretty dry and then we'll take 00:11:33.17000:11:33.180 the oil cooler off you six bolts 00:11:35.68900:11:35.699 Bromley at a bright 12 00:13:16.07000:13:16.080 all right so we have it on our workbench 00:13:18.08000:13:18.090 I got this gasket here we got this 00:13:20.06000:13:20.070 gasket here actually doesn't feel too 00:13:23.30000:13:23.310 bad not like super flat or anything like 00:13:25.46000:13:25.470 that we're gonna take this off and we 00:13:27.11000:13:27.120 have a gasket for this as well 00:13:28.73000:13:28.740 looks like Torx bits bits I'm going to 00:13:31.37000:13:31.380 clean it up a little bit and then we'll 00:13:32.92000:13:32.930 take it apart 00:13:39.67000:13:39.680 [Music] 00:14:02.63000:14:02.640 [Applause] 00:14:04.88000:14:04.890 t30 torx bit 00:14:14.96000:14:14.970 you clean this up a little bit 00:14:23.92000:14:23.930 now this is feeling pretty flat in here 00:14:27.34000:14:27.350 these are feeling pretty good but these 00:14:28.84000:14:28.850 are feeling pretty flats or oil leak is 00:14:30.73000:14:30.740 more likely coming from here 00:15:01.82900:15:01.839 we'll just clean these up a little bit 00:15:33.40000:15:33.410 cleaned some of this dirt out of there 00:15:35.17000:15:35.180 maybe with a small screwdriver you tilt 00:15:37.96000:15:37.970 it down and get it out and then we'll 00:15:40.99000:15:41.000 put it back together about nine 00:15:44.62000:15:44.630 foot-pounds of torque 00:16:11.22000:16:11.230 eight newton meters or seventy one inch 00:16:14.31000:16:14.320 pounds or this torque spec for these 00:16:16.38000:16:16.390 bolts 00:17:30.05000:17:30.060 we'll just torque those down and replace 00:17:32.76000:17:32.770 these gaskets and put it back on the 00:17:36.00000:17:36.010 vehicle all right 00:17:41.57000:17:41.580 we dug up this gasket here seem to have 00:17:46.10000:17:46.110 some little bit of got a new gasket here 00:17:51.19000:17:51.200 you have some little fingers drippy 00:17:53.45000:17:53.460 things in the inside edge which is 00:17:55.34000:17:55.350 different than the other o-rings 00:17:59.48000:17:59.490 put that on there 00:18:11.71000:18:11.720 exactly plant though too 00:18:20.14000:18:20.15000:18:46.16000:18:46.170 I generally put on a little uh a little 00:18:48.62000:18:48.630 bit of grease like wheel bearing grease 00:18:51.26000:18:51.270 on here to up and slide in some kind of 00:18:52.85000:18:52.860 lubricant puppet pushing easier 00:18:59.18000:18:59.190 don't strain maybe work this one out I'm 00:19:02.87900:19:02.889 sure you instantly have to but I got two 00:19:04.58900:19:04.599 o-rings so I'm gonna pull it out and 00:19:06.89900:19:06.909 replace these two o-rings just like I 00:19:10.13900:19:10.149 did with the other ones excuse a little 00:19:13.76900:19:13.779 pick and take them up and put the new 00:19:15.26900:19:15.279 ones on put a little bit of grease on 00:19:18.02900:19:18.039 them help them go back in 00:19:32.30000:19:32.31000:19:48.01000:19:48.020 they're just like that 00:20:19.44000:20:19.450 starter bolts 00:20:24.75000:20:24.76000:20:30.93000:20:30.940 start all bolts by hand 00:20:36.48000:20:36.49000:20:40.25000:20:40.26000:20:52.01000:20:52.020 I pushed that one in the hole a little 00:20:55.73000:20:55.740 bit more 00:21:09.08000:21:09.090 so worked all the bolts on that 219 00:21:12.06000:21:12.070 foot-pounds and then we can install this 00:21:14.07000:21:14.080 other pipe 00:21:30.07000:21:30.080 just slide right into place 00:21:34.18000:21:34.190 I'm gonna put our two bullets in and 00:21:36.74000:21:36.750 tighten them down 00:22:10.29900:22:10.309 looks like they want 71 inch pounds on 00:22:13.46000:22:13.470 those bolts over there then we've got 00:22:20.72000:22:20.730 this a back on then we'll give it a nice 00:22:22.22000:22:22.230 little cleaning before we put the 00:22:24.32000:22:24.330 exhaust manifold in I'll give you some 00:22:27.89000:22:27.900 torque specs and maybe tips along the 00:22:29.93000:22:29.940 way but this is pretty much it good luck 00:22:31.88000:22:31.890 to you on your oil cooler assembly 00:22:36.37000:22:36.380 replacement all right we have our new 00:22:41.09000:22:41.100 gasket on and lifted this up from the 00:22:43.40000:22:43.410 bottom again it may help a little bit 00:22:45.41000:22:45.420 take this bracket off which I did just 00:22:47.15000:22:47.160 two more bolts pretty easy easy to do 00:22:50.29900:22:50.309 that so 15 mil so 15 foot-pounds for the 00:22:56.48000:22:56.490 nuts on the exhaust manifold all right 00:23:00.86000:23:00.870 so when you're lifting this back up into 00:23:02.39000:23:02.400 place you may put a couple nuts on it to 00:23:04.52000:23:04.530 hold it in place but you may be loose 00:23:06.83000:23:06.840 you may consider taking this off this 00:23:08.81000:23:08.820 bracket only two more bolts and take it 00:23:12.83000:23:12.840 off it might make it easier bring it 00:23:14.87000:23:14.880 down although I did come out without 00:23:16.82000:23:16.830 removing the bracket but if you do 00:23:19.19000:23:19.200 remove the bracket then make sure you 00:23:20.69000:23:20.700 just put this in place with a couple 00:23:22.31000:23:22.320 nuts and then you have FreePlay to lift 00:23:24.50000:23:24.510 it up and stick that bracket back in 00:23:26.87000:23:26.880 there because if you just bolt it in you 00:23:28.43000:23:28.440 can't get the bracket in so put this in 00:23:31.28000:23:31.290 loose put the bracket in if you took it 00:23:33.02000:23:33.030 out and then you can bolt everything 00:23:35.96000:23:35.970 back up 00:23:38.40900:23:38.419 we'll get a new gasket in there and 00:23:40.70000:23:40.710 mount this up as well all right and 00:23:45.34900:23:45.359 finally we ended up adding about half a 00:23:48.04900:23:48.059 quart of oil on that and then we added 00:23:49.94000:23:49.950 about a gallon of 50/50 mix of cutlet 00:23:53.57000:23:53.580 this is a deck school but yours may be 00:23:56.47900:23:56.489 something else by now who knows so 00:24:00.01900:24:00.029 that's about how much I had to add back 00:24:01.96900:24:01.979 in just run it for a while watch your 00:24:06.32000:24:06.330 temperature gauge and check your heat in 00:24:10.36900:24:10.379 your vehicle make sure you get in good 00:24:11.41900:24:11.429 heat and you should be good to go you
