  • In this video I bring you along the process of swaping out the infamous oil cooler / filter housing on the Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep 3.6 Pentastar engine. Process is very similar in the vans as it is in the cars and Jeeps. -Enjoy!

This is my 1st oil pressure housing on this vehicle and I ain't going to lie, I was very overwhelmed by the job and had to leave it to finish it in the morning so I can verify everything and I see now what I should've done in the 1st place but don't have much guidance from my other 2 veteran techs so I learn everything on my own almost having to refer to all data or your videos or learn the hard way and take way too long on a job.

Unrelated to the leak, I had completely stripped the plastic nut used to loosen the filter top so I have just been using a big Channel-Lock. When I picked it up from the dealer after the assembly replacement, the tech wrote "22mm" in big letters on top of the assembly with a paint marker.

There’s stories of guys putting 600,000 miles on them with only one timing chain kit, and regular basic maintenance (plugs, LOF). That intake setup is asinine though. Who buries sensors like that?! You have to pay a shit ton of money for tear down just to do diag on the sensor and harness. Ridiculous.

You literally could have half of the drive of the distributor fail and not figure out what was wrong. The only key was that you had lower than normal oil pressure but not enough to hurt the motor.

    Note that an improved, more reliable and more reasonably priced option is to use a 2014 and up oil filter/cooler housing. Unfortunately, the newer version requires a different filter, which won’t fit the older housing. If the owner doesn’t do his/her own oil and filter changes, the unsuspecting mechanic is going to break something trying to make it work or run through a period of confusion until the issue is figured out.
    If you do your own work or have a mechanic you frequent on a regular basis, the 2014 and up improved filter/cooler housing is a better option.

  • @Blazer02LS
    @Blazer02LS Před 2 lety +10

    For the DIYer, you can change the pressure sensor itself without pulling parts off, you just need an oil pressure sender socket and an extension, then work somewhat blind to swap it out. BUT if you also have a pre 2015 3.6 you might want to check it for leaks anyway. David has a good video on doing just the sensor swap. The aluminum unit is a Dorman and fits 14 and up. Looks real good but haven't installed one yet, have installed an aluminum coolant crossover assembly and it works real well to replace the plastic OE one.

    I’ve been watching the channel for a while, absolutely love it. I just had my first encounter with this issue roll into my shop. Another shop (maybe 2) told my friend / customer he needed a new engine because it was burning oil. They showed him the oil saturated plug (cylinder 1) and everything. Well, from a look at codes and some digging into the common occurrence this has become - I have determined the intake gaskets are also no good. So the oil is not only leaking out and hanging out on the block like the rest of these, but it’s also leaking back in the engine via vacuum leak in cylinder 1! This thing ran horrible so he believed them! Swapped out the destroyed cats, plug, and runs great. Now moving onto the rest of the plugs and what started all this mess! Oh, and it’s also leaking coolant even faster than oil 🤦🏼‍♂️ Really glad I came across this before I ordered a plastic one, in hopes there really is an aluminum one!

    Im in the process of doing a complete rebuild on my 2018 Wrangler JK which has the same engine, and will say that i had a a pool of oil under the cooler as well. They are great engines, easy to work on, easy to get parts for, and tons of info on the net.. but was fun seeing ya work on it!

    Eric, You always do such a meticulous job with great attention to detail. I can tell you are that way even when the camera is off because you take pride in your work and reputation. I work like you do and for the same reasons, but I have to admit I think it is sometimes because I'm kind of lazy and don't want to do a job more than once if I can help it. Of course that doesn’t always work out because even after doing the best job I can, I have to do it over because of the crappy aftermarket parts I am force to use sometimes. I always us OEM parts if they are available to try to avoid that. I have a Ford 7.3 liter Diesel in my F350 crew cab and you could literally drop your sandwich in there and still eat it because it is so clean. But why no one will ever see it except me.

I like those Hondo's HA ha I've owned a few rebuilt a few of those engines in my younger years. However, this is one of your best videos. Because you're into this job so much in detail, the tools clean the way you explain the parts and how to disassemble and assemble the correct way. This is classic SMA 101. It's fun and informative and I'd like to say I do appreciate how much you do share. I have purchased a few SMA shirt's a Mug and I do watch your videos Intently because I am open to learning new things and receptive to the new changes in cars today compared to cars of yesterday. Thank You Eric Great Video

    7:33 I had already been working five years prior, and had my license at 14, and my own ride. I look back in awe. Mostly because I live in a much more populated non agricultural area than where I grew up. There is no way I want any 14 year old around me driving anything. At ten I was driving tractors down two lane asphalt with 30' wide tool bars on the back. Never tore anything up well except for a side roll sprinkler that I hooked with the disk and pulled it 30 yards down the field before the tractor finally noticed it back there. Dad was not a happy camper... and of course it had to be right by the house. LOL

      Grew up on a farm also. Driving tractors was just part of growing up. During drivers education class in high school, on the first day, most kids never made it out of the parking lot. I drove to a town ten miles away, on a very narrow two lane major highway. Once I got my license, my dad put me to work driving a half ton Ford truck into town with one ton of corn in the bed to get ground into feed. She had a four speed with granny gear, and you needed every gear to climb the hills in our area.

    Wow I've never worked on a Chrysler product before (*). Watching this video I was just WTF every 30 seconds. It's like at every design opportunity they had the thought "how can we make this needlessly complex, easy to break and hard to work on?"
    (*) I did own a 1979 Plymouth Horizon, but as my dad said at the time "Mopar apparently realized they had no idea how to make a 4 cylinder engine so they bought VW Rabbit engines." so I guess I was working on a VW engine. That thing I changed the timing belt, twice, in a gravel driveway, once taking the head off for the machine shop to work on. It was super easy to work on.
