Replacing the Jeep Wrangler Oil Pan
Vložit

- If you have a Jeep of recent years, you know the drain plug on the oil pan wants to strip out when doing oil changes, Well, I've done it! So now I'm changing out the oil pan in hopes of having a better drain plug.

Same here. 20 wrangler and the bolt is so stripped out that I had to buy a new lower pan. I’m literally sitting in front of my jeep typing this as I’m refreshing memory with your video before I climb back under. Great job on the vid btw. Helpful.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching and reaching out
Same boat with my 2013
My wife's Cherokee with the 3.2 had the plug get rounded like that. I was ready to weld a nut onto the plug, but then I remembered that a guy I knew had given me a set of the sockets that you pound over rounded bolts, so I figured I'd try them, and it worked great. One thing that you could have done to drain the pan is drill a hole in it and let it drain before you start removing it. I've done that a few times on transmission pans when I know I'm going to add a drain plug to them. I haven't had that problem on my 2012 Rubicon, 2015 Challenger or 2014 Ram 1500. They all use the same plug. I always try to make sure I use a six point socket or wrench when removing them. The same is true with lugnuts. You're much less likely to damage the fastener with a six point than with a 12.
Same thing on my 2022 gladiator, purchased truck slightly used. Thought I was loosing my mine when drain plug was seized on and crumbled trying to remove. New pan needed. Glad I have a hoist thought. Nice video
Thanks
I don’t think you’re dumb, I think you did a fine job. Looked like you didn’t even spill much, a small miracle. I have two JK’s and haven’t had a problem with the drain plug stripping, my problem (on my ‘13) is all the bolts that hold the pan on are super rusty. I’m thinking I may have to replace the upper pan as well but I don’t want to pay for it. Anyway, thanks for the vid. Well done.
Thank you
Great video thank you ! Would be cool to see you add oil and firing yup see that it dosen't leak, and if ever it does how you fix it... i liked seeing that removing the pan wasn't easy.. its a realistic feel on what to possibly expect! Again thank you ! Have a great day !
Well, we no longer have the Jeep, but everything went well with no leaks for months after. Thanks for watching and reaching out. I love knowing that the videos are enjoyed.
Thanks for the video! I had the same problem on my 21 wrangler. Oil plug must have put put on with a high torque impact. Bolt head was destroyed and could not get it to budge. I tried a fluted socket, pipe wrench, and Vice grips. I just gave up and bought a new pan.
You’re welcome. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Glad I’m not alone. Stripped the friggin plug and had to use an impact drill. Just ended up buying a new oil pan
Yeah, The bolts suck. Thank for watching!
Nice work - was the long-term good? I read somewhere that if you need to get oil out. . .you can drill a hole in the pan first and let it drain (but first - make sure you can get the lower off). Thanks for the video - Here I go
Long term was fine. Good luck. Not that bad
