This is probably the most useful and concise information available. I've change oil on my cars for 30+ years and this guy is good. I'm about to buy this type of Jeep and needed to see how the filter is different (all my vehicles have had the housing as part of the filter). Great job Rob and camera crew too.
Just changed my oil/filter after watching this! This guy is amazing! I watched Rob and then changed my interior-cabin filter (inside the glove box) and the engine air filter.
I never liked changing the old style oil filters that needed the tool/wrench to remove them.. this one was so easy - yet I needed a metric 24mm socket.
I have 2018 Wrangler JL 3.6 Lt.
I have saved this site as a favorite especially since Rob is so good with his delivery, explanations and filming.
Take the oil cap off first then remove the oil drain plug. When you pull the plug the air will push the oil out and give a nice flow.
Actually, no. The air doesn’t push anything. It’s that the seal won’t hold back any flow if you take the cap off first, which would be true if engines didn’t have crankcase ventilation systems
Actually yes.
@@dr.michaelbennett8597It's called the thermos effect. Go up on your roof and plug the vent stacks to your plumbing--you will no longer be able to flush your toilet or have water go down the drains!
Have changed oil many times in other vehicles and this was a great how to, straight and to the point. Thank you.
Rob is the 🐐 I’m here because I keep reading shady stories from dealers doing routine maintenance under Jeep wave and I just want to do these things myself
Thanks to you, finally did my wrangler for the first time! 👊🏽🔥
awesome! ive never done an oil change on any of my previous cars. now that i have a JL, i can definitely change my own oil. thanks!!
Rob! You covered EVERYTHING! Glad you mentioned that Chrysler MS-6395 requirement.
Do I need oil ms-6395 spec , what happened if is not? I'm using mobil 1 since I bought my Jeep and realize mobil 1 didn't have ms-6394 requirements, now days my engine sound like garbage
@@richardgarcia6201 First off, I highly doubt your engine noise has anything to do with Mobil 1. That oil is used in some of the most expensive vehicles on the planet. The Jeep manual for the JL says: "Equivalent full
synthetic SAE 0W-20 engine oil can be used but must have the API Starburst
trademark". I interpret this as Mobil 1 being acceptable. My Ram requires the MS-6395 spec as well but does not mention an equivalent oil. I use Pennzoil Platinum in the Ram but don't see why the dealer would deny warranty if Mobil 1 is used in the Jeep.
Great video. Thank you! Also, thanks for keeping the music down so we could hear you. Wish all maintenance videos on YT were this well done.
Thanks for watching!
I’ve alway loved the Jeep Wrangler and finally after 34 years I just got a JL. I drove my GMC truck for 20 years and worked on it myself as a backyard mechanic. Man the oil change on the JL looks so simple, it was a pain on my GMC. As I female I have also thought it was important to know as much as you can about the vehicle your driving. Lord knows I’ve stop to help women change their tire over the years. They should know how it do it if the are driving it. Great video, thanks.
Thank you, it makes me upset to see folks who will drive it but know nothing about how to fix the simplest items on their vehicles. I made my daughter go through auto mechanic's for just that reason. She knew more about fixing her car then her ex husband ever did. What a mook. Anyway it's very nice to know there are especially women who aren't left on the side of the road who can't do the simplest of fixes on their vehicles. Short story. My Daughter and the Mook were on a long trip and the adjustment bracket broke on the alternator. They couldn't find one anywhere in the town they were in. Mook boy said, "What are we gonna do? My daughter said, "Go into the auto parts store and buy some ratchet straps." He did, and she rigged them up to keep tension on the alternator. It worked until they got all the way back home, where they replaced the bracket. Smart lady My Daughter is. Keep on learning about your ride and stay safe out there.
GREAT VIDEO AND VERY GOOD EXPLANATION !!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM MÉXICO!!
Thank you so much for this awesome video! I’m going to attempt to change my oil for the first time in my life!
A damn sight easier than changin the oil in my Corvette. LOVE the filter location.
Doing an awesome job, just keep doing what you're doing 🤘
Great shot of the oil hitting the camera. (next level video creativity)
Great video. Definitely check dipstick after. My JL took a little more than 5 quarts
Yep ALWAYS run engine a few seconds say 30 and cut off engine give it few minutes to fall back into pan then check dipstick a few times
Nicely done, Thank you...................... just changed mine, easy
THANK YOU! This video just saved me hundreds
My third time watching, I gotta see this every time I change my oil. Thank you for making such a great, straightforward video.
Thanks. Was very helpful and informative
excellent instructions! plan to do this today. Preciate ittt!
Excellent video. Thank you!
Using your video today. Thank You
You did good man, you are so specific
Thanks for this. I.just ordered a Rubicon with this engine and while having the oil changed on my other car today asked the guy if there was anything special about the oil changes on the Pentastar. He said it needed a special this/that and it would cost $68 vs. the $28 I just paid for my other car moments later. Needless to say, I'll be changing it myself especially since that filter is on the top.
LOL! No cameras were harmed in the making of this film. ;-)
😂😂
Thank you so much for this! Really helpful. Did it in 15 min - first time I ever changed oil in my car
Great job!
Several sources also mention the following torque specs for those that prefer precision over "snug"... Oil Drain Plug 20 Ft-lbs Oil Filter Cartridge Housing 13 Ft-lbs. No crush washer on the drain plug, but the gasket should be inspected for wear and/or damage.
Just don't forget, no shop on planet earth (including the dealership) puts a torque wrench on an oil pan drain plug or that oil filter cap. 🤣 But thank you!
Yep, too tight you’re gonna crack that oil cooler housing, which is why so many people probably have that issue with the oil cooler assembly leaking, it does not need to be super tight.
@@wheezin_mtnbkr3576so u actually watch the dealer at all your oil changes to make sure? 😂😂😂
@@wheezin_mtnbkr3576oh yeah forgot to mention ur a dumbass but thanks😂😂😂😂😂
Oil filter housing specifies 25NM or 18ish ft-lbs
Great how to video
Hi Robb... the only item I like to do, is check the oil before I close the hood. I know you just put 5 quarts in but for peace of mind I like to see the oil on the oil stick.
Plus if I forgot to put the oil pan plug back in I will know it right away because there will not be any oil on the stick. Years ago I did just that, forgot the plug and all the new oil went right out of the engine. So now you know why I always check the stick before I close the hood. LOL
My wife is coming up on her last free Jeep Wave oil change, so this is a great resource. I'm surprised the filer is on top under the hood. Makes things a little easier then.
Do it yourself, use synthetic, literally takes 10 mins and YOU KNOW you’re putting in synthetic, not being told you’re getting it and the cheap shit actually put in.
Great video!
Hats off to ya, a fantastic video
It is just peace of mind.
THANK FOR A VERY DETIAL SERVICE INSTRUCTION TO SERVICE AND THE ABOVE.
Great video thank you 😊
Nice job! Thanks
Thanks for vid, I spent like 10 mins looking for the standard metal can style oil filter thinking I was blind or crazy bc I’ve never had a car with anything else, but little did I know it was under my nose the whole time 😂
Shake up that oil jug for a minute or so. You want that oil to be mixed up to get the ingredients that settled in the bottom to be mixed together real good.
My previous vehicle, it was such a pain in the arse getting at the filter I just paid the $30 - $40 bucks, and had it done at the shop. Now with just a basic oil change costing up to $70, I'll go back to doing it myself, especially with how easy it is on the Jeep.
Great video, you have a new subscriber
Be great to see some stuff on the 2.0L
I've been enjoying mine but there is more Maintenance to keep it up.
The best thing for a turbo is to "give it the beans" every once in awhile to keep those waste gates swinging.
Gem of a tutorial
love yr videos
PERFECT !!!
One complaint is you never checked the dip stick after refilling, you should tell people to make sure the oil is up to the full line before starting your engine
Good job
I only put on around 6,000-6,700 miles a year on my vehicles, so I'll just do it once a year. Luckily my Walmart carries Mopar filters.
Thank You...
Thank you
Excellent
Nice job! Any chance of covering the process for the 2.0-Liter I4 Turbo?
I know this post is dated. The 2.0 turbo is actually easier to do because it has a conventional spin-on oil filter. Not that funky paper element one you find on the 3.6!
Do you recommend to add Lucas engine oil lubricant after putting the new oil in?
Hello.Hope my question will be answered.I live in Germany and am currently looking for a Chrysler T&C 3.6 v6.Always use 5w-50 for all my v6 cars.Can I use it in the T&C too?
Cool thanks
No drain bolt washer required?
I wonder if they have any kind of timer built into the oil change lights algorithm, I've had my wrangler for 13 months now and it still says 50% oil life left. I don't drive it a ton, less than 5000 miles but that's still pretty old oil at this point.
New Jeeper and so glad I found this channel. I've been out of the game of changing my oil for many years now but given the ease, why wouldn't I do this myself? Subscribed and now following updates to this channel! o|||||||o
Shake up that jug a bit before pouring the oil in the engine. You want the oil to be mixed up really good.
can you use 5w-30? it says meets and exceeds ms6395
Saved me cash 💰
Torque specs are to be used 20 ft lbs on drain plug
Nice
Is priming the new filter recommended or not at all necessary?
Thank you, my friend! I have owned vehicles for more than 30 years but thanks to this video, I changed oil and filter on my JL Jeep - for the very first time!
The only thing I would add would be to check the dipstick after filling, and after you replace the drain plug, wipe it clean, and inspect for no drips a day or two later... and don’t lose the crush washer on the drain plug.
Good advise😁
Crush washers need to be REPLACED. Once crushed, they are technically no good for a second seal. Will they work, yes - for a while. Best to replace the < $1.00 washer each change.
@@martinmessersmith2900 Mopars usually have a rubber coated drain plug flange, no crush washer.
Excellent! Can you recommend some places to dispose of the used oil?
Thanks.
Usually your local oil change place or autozone
Most auto parts stores (IE. AutoZone, Advance, O’Rielleys, etc) have disposal for BOTH gear oil AND motor oil. I typically call ahead to make sure they have room in their drum before I go up.
What’s the torque spec for the drain plug and oil filter?
I know you posted a year ago - but 20 ft lbs for the filter, 18 ft lbs for the filler bolt.
Does the JL 3.6 Pentastar still have the same oil cooler leak issue as with the JK ? I see the same filter (post 2014), so yes ?
@Jeffrey Ward 3.6L in JK/U has oil cooler leak issue. I believe started in 2014, search “oil cooler leak wrangler”
Great video . So Quaker State , Castrol , Valvoline or Mastercraft oils won't do the proper job ? My dealer filled the engine with semi synthetic, would it last as long as the synthetic oil? I don't think the engine sensors can't identify type of the oil.
I believe Pennzoil is the preferred oil outside of Mopar.
My 2018 JL shows low on dip stick when I add 5 quarts after oil change. It’s a rubicon 3.6 any input would help.
It could be a few things… always check both sides of the dipstick.
1. Didn't wait for the oil to settle if checked to soon.
2. Didn't insert the dipstick all the way.
3. If the vehicle bought was used it could be the wrong dipstick. If not, trust the dipstick if inserted correctly.
4. Possible oil leak
I'm not sure how the oil is bottled but there is also a possibility the incorrect amount was bottled from the supplier.
I have a feeling they have checks before they hit the stores.
I'm sure you figured this out already but if not I hope this helps somewhat.
Does it require an oil drain plug gasket or crush washer?
Ramiro I know your comment is oldish but the jeep JL does not have a crush washer no. Hope that oil change went well.
Aaron
Tell me 2020 Jeep Wrangler unlimited JL 3.6L where is transmission dipstick ??? I was try to search it
Does not have one, has a drain plug though, and filler hole, which you probably get to from underneath.
The JL uses 0W20 in the 3.6 !?!? Not 5W20 as with JK ? And not 5.8 qts ?
That check engine light though
Did you mean the oil change indicator? If so, we show you how to reset that at 9:50
No love for the 2.0T?
We'll do a 2.0T as well, stay subscribed!
This was so helpful :) btw u should have drove 1 more mile and u would have had 6969 lol
PSA: the drain plug might be 1/2 inch for some models (it was on mine).
And 15/16" for the oil filter
1/2" is equal to 12.7mm so essentially 13mm. Mechanics will tell ya In most applications you can use either/or for a bolt of that size.
What’s the torque spec on the drain plug and filter cap.
Brandon 20ft. lbs. is the spec you will want to use the next time you tighten that bolt.
Hope that helps you out
The oil filter is 12 ft. lbs. Basically just had tighten it
This is prob the stupidest question I’ve asked ever but I just can’t remember. But before draining the oil from the pan, if you take the filter out first, is the filter housing full of oil? Or is it empty and just pump oil up in and through it as it’s running. Cause my housing is empty but the the dipstick says I have the right amount and the oil looks good but the housing is empty
When the engine is off, the oil will drain down, you shouldn't have much oil in the filter housing.
Damn drain bolt first time is a Bioootch
I hope Chrysler never gets rid of this engine
I love mine, it sounds fearsome without mufflers and cats!
How do you change the cabin air filter in the JL?
Coming soon. Make sure you are subscribed!
Pull the glove box out, there is a cover that clips right off that allows you to pull the filter out. You can squish it together to get the filter out and in. Really easy.
Chris Campbell, thank you.

What the hell MOBIL 1 full synthetic is NOT MS-6395 compliant but penzoil is WTF Mobil 1 ?
You only added 4 quart
That's just more work. Why not equip with the standard oil filter canister
Liberals
Owners manual says 6qts not 5qts.
My JL Manual says 5 quarts
If you live in CA where motor oil is known to cause cancer, you should wear rubber gloves when doing this to keep the oil off your skin. Just sayin' - SAFETY FIRST!
In PA we roll around in oil to get a good coating on us for the winter. It helps stop the road salt.
During my recent trip to San Francisco I noticed very few Wranglers on the city roads over there. I assume they all have moved to Texas and Colorado.
If you live in California you most likely drive a prius and are told by fake news that everything will kill you.
@@Ferda1964 The green whack jobs are reading iPads and wearing hemp clothes when they “drive” their autonomous electric powered pieces of shit. Good bless internal combustion and Jeep. Screw the tree huggers and roll coal in your diesel rigs. .
@@ourbills9999 don't get me started with the Tesla morons : )
You completely glossed over locating the oil drain plug. For people who have never done an oil change, I would think that’s a pretty important bit of information.
Just find it lmao
@@TheBossMan1453 Brilliant.
Good content, but I can't help but notice those stubby arms you have while showing us how to reset the oil. Ugh.
Are you serious? How to do an oil change? You must think we are as stupid as Scotty Kilmer and as ygly as Robmotive
