Perfect JEEP Oil Change HOW TO
Vložit

- I'd like to draw your attention away from the news and into your garage and more importantly... to your Jeep Wrangler for a fun HOW TO Do it Yourself Oil Change Challenge!
Thanks to the Jeep engineers for using the cartridge style oil filter, it is possible to do an oil change and not spill a single drop on the floor... and that's the challenge! I just happen to go take it to the next level in this video to not only keep almost every drop of oil contained... I only used one paper towel for the whole procedure.
Here's a link to the AutoEdits Amazon store and I've put together a list called Jeep Wrangler Oil Change Essentials:
www.amazon.com/shop/autoedits
There you'll find everything needed for a home oil change plus both options of the Lucas oil I recommend in the video... go with the six pack of 5w-20 Synthetic to be the perfect factory spec or go with the 0w-20 to quiet down the rattling some of the Pentastar 3.6 engines are known for.
Just make sure you check the oil filter and that it fits your year and model Jeep... the cartridge might have change throughout the run of JK's.
After we deliver the perfect oil change, I'll take you in the cab and show you how to reset the Oil Change Warning light.
Here's a link to the How to Clean your 4x4 video I also mention in this video and it will show you how I get the engine bay looking so fresh and so clean in this video • How To Wash Your Jeep ...
Thanks so much for watching, head on over to the Instagram for more stuff:

I know how to change the oil in my Jeep and I still watched the whole thing.
Well, I'm very appreciative of that so Thank you!
Thing I love about changing my Jeep oil- no jack needed with the 4.5”lift and tires
I gave a like for the sole fact that he removed his entire door just to give us a better camera angle when talking about the reset.
While I totally appreciate this and will totally take that like... it is a Jeep and the doors come off pretty easy... LOL
That final shot; clothes and garage the way you started, clean items to haul away. Nailed it.
Great video. Have an oil change to do and appreciate you putting in the specs. 13 mm to 20 foot pounds. 15/16” socket to 15 foot pounds. Being able to see one done again helps ease my nerves that I was forgetting something.
Did my first oil change yesterday on my Jeep(mostly because the weather was nice) 2 drips on the driveway and one rag... Wasn't too bad. Used 2 of your videos yesterday, oil change and tire rotation. Your videos inspired me... Gave the old Jeep a good once over too!! Thanks!!
WOW! Love this! Thanks for watching, being open to the info and inspired to go tinker on your junk! Plus, extra for coming back and sharing.
New to Jeeping, and enjoying your excellent videos. Just completed my first “perfect” oil change, including the removal of a rounded drain plug from previous owner. You make the mundane appear fun. I will likely be detailing my engine bay in the near future. Thank you!!!
Great to hear!
I really appreciate your videos. I trust what you show and I can't afford to pay for people to do basic things on my jeep. I love my jeep. In a crazy world it's the one thing that's just mine. Your awesome.
Love hearing this! I'm very happy you found this channel and are a part of the conversation... enjoy that Jeep! Did you check out this one czcams.com/video/4IPG9_IoJ6g/video.html
Saw the video. Hit the garage and did an oil change (two paper towels...), rotated the tires and swapped out the tops for the summer. Thanks for the inspiration and getting my ass in gear.
Great content. Great channel. Keep up the good work!
Love hearing this! Glad you enjoyed getting out and tinkering a bit!!!
Bought a 2008 JK about 6 weeks ago. The oil looks very clean but after watching your video, I'm going to have my 16 year old watch it and we are going to change the oil together, sooner rather than later. Thank you for the humor, but more importantly the straightforwardness and postiveness that yo do. I love your videos
Love hearing this!!! thanks so much for sharing and have fun!
One of the best instructional videos on here. Great work!
One of the best comments right here... very helpful and appreciated! Thank you!
Perfect timing for this video! I'm choosing to spend this quarantine to do projects such as this and it's entertaining to see a person, who is as detailed-oriented as I TRY to be, perform this very task. I do say TRY since I spend hours arranging my project BOMs and double-checking online order carts... until I went ahead and spent only seconds when I bought the wrong oil weight.
Yikes! Hope it gets sorted for ya!
Ha ha ha!! Loved the sesame Street Count Dracula counting 😂😂😂
So happy you appreciated that... I almost always sneak in a few goofy things like that!
I watched this w my six year old son he counted like that along w Jason I cracked up!
I love this video... learned how to do it myself plus how to be environmentally friendly! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Jason your content is amazing! You should start posting more! Your channel would grow even more than it already has! Keep up the great work🤙🏽
Why thanks! I appreciate the few folks like you who watch... would like a few more views but will be happy with what I have. I'll put up a few more as soon as I can make them!
I agree Arsh. I'm subbed, and don't even own a JK anymore.
I will acquire a Jeep rubicon, a dream since I was a teenager. So I watch the Jeep videos and suscribe to your channel. Now I know how to drain. Thank you for this video.
I hope you get that dream Jeep as soon as possible!!! Thank you for watching my silly videos!
We’re in the same boat, wanted a rubicon since I was like 13-14, finally got mine a few weeks ago, definitely the best thing I’ve done, hope you can get yours too!
Hello I’m from Uruguay and I love your videos!!
I have learned so much.
Thank you so much I really appreciate you are helping a lot of people.
God Bless you.
You are so welcome!
Love your videos Jason and this one inspired me to start changing my own oil again! Just ordered all the necessary “junk” from your Amazon store. I’m sure we’d all watch in earnest if you did future videos on all the Jeep fluids and how you change them. I’ve learned so much watching your channel. Thanks again!
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
@@AutoEdits got the oil changed and everything was going swimmingly....until I went back under the Jeep to put the drain plug back in and noticed the canister I bought to collect and recycle the oil leaked...🤦♂️ Note to self - next time I buy one I need to fill it with water first to check that. 😂 Still one of the easier oil changes I’ve ever done.
Thank you so much for this video I just did my first own oil change on my 2016 jku it’s pretty easy once it’s done but watching your video helped alot for the uneasy of it being my first time doing it
I'm really happy to hear this... thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your experience!!!
Had a Jeep in High school over a decade ago that I couldn't afford to drive...A 10 mpg AMC 304 Cj7 :-P I regret giving her up... Stumbled across your videos. Got the bug again. Thank you for the inspiration.
Sorry not sorry!
Thank you for the great video, just ordered what I need off of your store for our 2013 JK.
So Awesome! Thank you a ton! Hope you have a bit of fun working on your Jeep!
Perfect timing on this video. I'm about 500 miles from my first oil change on my 16 Rubicon.
Nice! Go for the perfect execution!
Have never taken any car to get oil changed. Always have done it myself, yet I’m still intrigued watching you do your whole oil change, just for fun. 😂
HA! Well, I appreciate the support!
Wow...thank you!!! I just bought a 2018 jku and this vids will save me money... thanks alot
Howdy and welcome! Enjoy that Jeep!
Perfect way to end the weekend - thanks Jason. 🤘🇺🇲
Heck yes! Thank you!
Jason, as you mentioned you like to get as much of the old oil to drain from the pan. I’m the same way. I pour just a small amount of knew oil to push out all the old. Makes the process a little go a little quicker and I know I’ve got all good/new oil in when I’m done. 🍻👍
Yup. Took important call during oil change, poured 15 quarts of synthetic diesel oil all over my garage.
OH NO! LOL
DOHH
Jason, thanks for the video. I had fallen away from changing my own oil. I used to do it when I was younger, but then for a while it was not much difference in cost to have the oil change place do it. Now, though it costs $70-80 to have them do it and I had been thinking about taking it back on. Combine that with the current lock down for the pandemic and I have become more interested. The topper was your video. I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2018 and my wife has a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK, and after seeing how easy and clean the filter replacement is in your video, I'm in! I've ordered the items from Amazon and will be clearing the "Change Engine Oil" message in both jeeps soon!
Yes! Love hearing this!!! Hope it goes well and you have a bit of fun bonding with your Jeep!
I watched this video the day it came out... never once did I keep to using a single towel until today. I did it! lol
That is awesome! Thanks so much for even thinking about the challenge... every little bit helps and it's kind of fun.
I’m like you and want to drain as much as possible when I do an oil change so I usually go out in my garage first thing in the morning and pull the plug, then I go in and have some breakfast, go back out change the filter and then finish up. Beautiful Jeep brother!
Thanks! I like hearing stories like this from other folks like me!
I had the oil change required for ever on my dash now I know how to take it off appreciate it!
Yeah buddy!
Great vid!! That is something I have done to my own vehicles for a while. With the exception of the free ones I get when buying a new car.
That's a good idea on newer stuff... I did the same on my wife's VW for a while.
I didn't think I would enjoy watching an oil change video, but I did. Thank you JeepinJason.
#StayHomeAndChangeYourBlinkersFluid
Thank you... and great hash tag!
Great video buddy!!! I always tell folks that it is better to under tighten something like that (then just tighten it a bit more if leaks) than to over-tighten it and have to replace everything.
Exactly! Glad to hear similar techniques!
Dont be a rookie like me - snug that oil filter cap down to spec!
After seeing all the advice online to not overtighten, I only hand tightened and had a huge oil spill
Since i was a kid with my first car I have done my own oil changes and a lot more as I learned more. Now as a first time jeep owner my oil changes have never been more easier. I have also in the past with the metal oil filters trapped them in the gloves so they didn't leak oil when taking them to station to get rid of them.
Nice!
Cracked The oil filter housing first time i changed the oil , cost me 200 bucks & a fun two hour project replacing it !
That sounds frustrating! Hope it went back together good!
Thank you so much for sharing! I really enjoyed watching this hahahaha you should do more home maintenance videos like this one. It would be really helpful. Also, a pre-trip check of what to do, what to look for, and what fluids to check would be awesome.
I like this suggestion! Thanks!
@@AutoEdits thank you for sharing!
Errant... word of the day! Awesome, great content again!
HA! Thanks so much for checking in!!!
Glad to hear you say the valve rattle on startup is "common" I have a 12 and have the same issue and thought it was just me.
Not just you, we're in this together!
@@AutoEdits pretty common on any v motor that shares architecture with the 3rd gen hemi, they oil oddly which makes the lifters almost last in the system.
Excellent, you are like me a perfectionist. I too I change my oil between 5K and 6K miles usin full sysnthetic Mobil 1, and keep the engine under the hood very clean which keeps it cooler during Summer months. no grime and no leaks. I like your style very well executed. Cheers. 😊😊
Thank you!
Just did my 2016 Wrangler sport today. I used 2 rags though. One for the oil change and one for dumping the old oil back in the jug.
I also ALWAYS check under the vehicle once I start it to make sure there is nothing leaking. I double check around the oil filter for leaks while running as well.
2 Rags is fantastic! I'm with you on the checking on first start up as well!
Been using more lucas oil products because of this channel. No regrets.
Dude.... thank you! I wouldn't share if I didn't actually like the stuff across the board. The more I learn the more I like about them.
Oh, awesome... thank you too!
10 months later & the stay home stuff is still a reality & I just changed my oil in my 3.8 JK
I run the 10w-30 which is what the crate motor calls for on these. The 5w-20 was just for emissions standards for Jeep
Glad the 0-20 helped with your noise on start up
Thanks dude! I find if the jeep sits more than a few days I still get that sound at startup so... just a design thing. I also swapped back to 5-20 since it's much cheaper. I did hear from an engineer that it is important to stick to what the engine builder recommends on engines with variable valve timing and other oil pressure activation stuff.
Great suggestion Jason. Another trick when loosening the oil pan plug by hand. To keep oil from coming out past the threads as you loosen and getting on your hands, push in on the bolt. When the bolt gets to the end it will jump on the thread, at that point pull it away. You shouldn't get any oil on your hands.
It's worked to keep my hands oil free for years, I hope it works well for you. Stay safe.
That is a great suggestion and I do that sometimes as well! I couldn't get my hand in the right position and still get the video angle of the bolt... thanks!
I just changed the oil on my commander going to change oil and seals on my 4.0 zj I watched this whole video and I don't even own and don't intend to own a jk great vids
Thanks so much for this!
I appreciate the fact that you removed the driver's door to get the inside the vehicle shots!
Incidentally, the 4.0 V6 in my 5th gen 4Runner is spec'd by Toyota to use 0W20. I'm actually considering trying 0W30 or even 40. These things make A LOT of valvetrain noise that I'd like to quiet down.
Also, the Jeep filter setup is much better. Toyota has a cartridge style too, but it's under the vehicle, and on a stock vehicle, the engine skid needs to be removed every time to access it. Which explains why it was missing from my used 4R that had been dealer serviced it's entire life till I bought it. I recently finally got around to drilling out the 4 broken bolts they left in there so I can install aftermarket skids.
It’s important to stick with the hot viscosity rating if the engine has variable valve timing like this Jeep since the systems depend on the oil.
Thanks for the tip Jason! I too have a 13 JK and have that same annoying start up sound for like 3 seconds! Simply bugs! and sounds cheap! Im going with your recommendation, and hopefully its gone, or if not quitter...
Thanks again 👍😎
Another commenter said he uses the Lucas Oil Stabilizer with any other oil to get the same results so try that if it's easier! Thank you for being here!
Nice work Jason 👊. I have a 2018 JKUR and it has the rattle with a cold start. I can’t win 😂😂 I switched to synthetic and it’s gone now. Thanks buddy 😎💪
I didn't think it effected the later JK's good to hear you solved it!
Try a fumoto drain valve and a small tube into the catch container . Zero towels needed.
I have noticed with my 2014 even after upgrading to the Center Force Duel Friction clutch my start up noise is coming from my throughout bearing. It is also nice to know what to watch out for. My oil life reminder hasn’t gone off yet with close to 9,000 miles between oil changes. My dealer actually said not to change the oil before the reminder goes off. I’m also running a full synthetic oil.
I just did one on my 2016 JKU.. made a tiny mess when refilling oil (and I had a funnel) but overall happy lol I will only ever use Amsoil 5w-20 👌🏼👌🏼
Hey, I'm glad you got out and worked on your junk!
Hey Jason, great video! It’s interesting that I’ve had my JK since late 2013 and have never done an oil change. Its not that it’s difficult, I’ve been changing my own oil since I was 16 (holy crap, that’s over 40 years!) It’s just been too convenient and actually relatively cheap to get it done at the dealer (seems like they always have special multiple oil change packages). I do like the new filter location, it’s much easier than the old style more near the engine bottom, with the associated oil spill as you remove it (yuk).
Well, I just did it for the first time this weekend. I can’t say I matched your single paper towel for cleanup, haha. It went quite well. I did go with the same oil you used so Lucas should be sending you some free products (haha). Again, great video! It motivated me to start doing it myself and using better oil than the dealer likely uses is another advantage.
AWESOME to hear this!!! Thanks so much for watching and the great share.
I have that very same drain pan, I luv it. I use those same hop towels.
I'm still using that same pan... they are great!
Made it easy for my first attempt... I used a few more paper towels than you... but pretty successful.... I appreciate the help!
Fantastic!🍺🤘
I am no mechanic.... but all of your you tube videos have helped with all the things I want to do to my 2016 JKU... just moved into a house with a lift... either I am going to get good at this or hurt myself ;) lol... keep the videos coming 👍
Wow, I would love to have room for a lift! Be safe and have fun with it.
Great job. Thank you
Thank you too!
great tips man!
Thanks!
OOGA DOOGA! Well put!
It's a legit form of torque measurement! LOL
My old 3.8L JK had terrible startup rattle if I used a mopar oil filter. Using a wix filter would mostly prevent it. I have not heard the issue on my '17 JKU. The thing I love about the cartridge is you don't have to cut open a metal filter to check for any metal debris or the like.
It's a better system all the way!
Awesome episode!!!
Thanks dude! I really hope to get on the trail with you again after all this clears up!
I installed a Stahlbus oil drain plug in my LJ. It makes draining the oil a breeze through the opening in my Savvy offroad engine/ transmission skid.
I recommend them to everyone.
I've never had anyone else change my oil, but I often see oil changes advertised for around $40. I run Rotella t6 and a premium filter, and my DIY oil changes are around $70.
Those oil change places must use the cheapest crap ever.....
Thanks did my first change!
Great to hear!
Great Video, thank you for keeping us occupied while we go through this crazy stressful time. How do you like the tires? Do they ride nicely on the street? Thank you
Thank you!!! I do like these tires a bunch, best riding tires on the street and highway and do great off road. The only real downside is that the BFG and Maxxis look way more aggressive so other than than the looks, they kick butt!
I like the 1 person oil change more than that things can go wrong just like the phone call.
Perfect video while I’m stuck at home 👌🏽
Awesome!!!
I recently had to switch out the oil cooler on my 2015. Even with my mechanic friend helping, that was basically our Saturday. Lol!
Yikes! Hope it was a little fun at least!
You will be glad you went to aluminum. Plastic has no place on the valley of an engine!
just did a oil change on my dads gladiator 4 days ago 1 i was bored 2 it needed it we went wheeling and the oil was 2k miles old and boy im glad i did it cause that oil was black as crazy as that sounds but we were out there for 2 hours,so 4 total front and back but also thank god i bought some molle panels that go on the bed for my dad as a surprise and some rotopax 2 for fuel and 1 for water and we used them since my dad carelessly said were fine when we went past a gas station and good thing i filled the rotopax whenever i bought em but yeah :D and also the truck is stock but it just has some factory mud terrains with some black rhino kelso wheels(In battleship grey) i bought for him as well :D (took my 15 year old self a bit to save up since i got my little responsibilities aka my wifi and gas for my little honda)
Nice work!
I recently did my 3.8L oil... Went surprisingly smooth. I went back to 10W30 (original specified oil for the 3.8L) and went to a Motorcraft FL-400S filter... It's a touch bigger and cheaper than a Mopar filter. Has the same (maybe better?) anti-back flow valve. The oil specification changes due to Jeep needing to meet fuel economy regulations. Thinner viscosity oil can achieve that for very cheap- to an extent. Jeep doesn't change the internal specs for bearings and such when they change the oil specification though. That's probably the main source of issues for the newer Jeep engines. Sorry for the rant- "quarantine" does things to a man! LOL
Another important factor is the variable valve timing in the newer engines. They are designed to run with a very specific oil viscosity and when people change that... it changes how the whole system operates. That's why I don't change from the recommended -20 part of the rating. I learned that when I did the Ram engine... was cool .
To quiet down internal noise, replace one quart of your engine oil with one quart of Marvel's Mystery Oil. It also keeps the internals spotless. Do some research on Marvel's and you may be impressed. I've been using the stuff for decades and still have quiet and smooth running engines. I have a 5.3 Chevy van with 280,000 miles with no leaks and zero oil burn and absolutely no noise which is common to have bad lifter noises. Love the channel!
Good advice, I used Marvel for decades as well... the smell reminded me of wrenching with my Grandpa. I have learned that the new technology is better and that having a quart of a product that burns off isn't good in the oil system. I still use it in all my air tools!
As always, a great , positive video. Guessing you gave Pinto the day off. That's cool. A hard working dog needs time off occasionally. I would luv to do my own oil changes, especially with it being so easy on a Jeep. But, living in an apartment with only an outdoor parking spot, it's not really feasible, especially in snow and -20°C temps.
Ooof... that's too cold for me! LOL Pinto came out for a moment but got bored and went back inside... oil change is not her thing I guess.
@@AutoEdits Too cold for me as well these days. Guess I'll just have to rewatch again to get my Pinto fix.
instructive video,thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love a clean oil change. I just did an oil change yesterday, along with a timing chain service on my 3.8 JK. It was not a one towel job.
Oh man... timing chains scare the heck outta me!
It's not bad, on a 3.8L, easiest I have ever done. As for the 3.6L? those are unchartered waters.
Hard to believe a 3.8 ran long enough to need a new timing chain
Here is a tip I use on my 10 quart premium synthetic oil change on my supercharged mustang GT. I drain each used oil container into a central container. I end up with a third of a quart of awesome oil for topping off or other projects. If your paying $10 a quart that stuff is gold. I also use a conventional oil catch bucket. I line the bucket with 2 of the Costco white kitchen garbage bags. Change the oil. Tie off the bags. Go to the recycling. Cut the corner of the bag. Drain and discard. Not one drop touches me or my bucket.
These are some high quality suggestions!
Awesome 👌 👏 👍
Didn't need to watch, but its great to see someone as OCD as me
Curious, since you have your rig pulled in to you garage, what is the height from floor to top of hardtop? Appreciate it!
I’ve tried about 3 different oil catch devices from Walmart bought to auto store and using them to change the oil on my 3” lifted 35” tire 13’ 2door JK, it ALWAYS resulted with oil all over the oil catch and ground with the annoying laying down with the catch to follow the pour to keep in the catch. My fix? Paint bucket with lid. After numerous trips to auto store to discard used oil, I quickly found buying a paint bucket lip pour guide to be a must because the used oil drums at the auto stores (at least the 4 different ones in my area I’ve gone to) had the smallest entry point to to pour into. Don’t understand why they have that lid on their drums knowing the obvious, but save yourself time/frustration and the NEED to walk in with shop towels to clean yourself off with once done. Yeah, for whatever annoying reason each time they also were never nice enough to give me some paper towel etc to wipe my hands off after watching me once done. Side note: the store bought catches, most are the flat pan catches are every curse word worthy when trying to dispense in their used drums. Lol. I’ve even taken my used oil to recycling garbage dump and even theirs were either “full” closed lid or some even stopped doing that of which I can only assume they’ve had people make an absolute mess doing so.
Just changed mine today. Easy Peezy
Nice!
I just got my first jeep and did the oil change. It is very satisfying to do a oil change on her. The best part is I don’t have to Jack her up. It takes 30mins or less
Good job
I heard that the oil filter has a lot to do with that rattle on startup has a drain back valve from what I seen on a video
My son in law who quotes to my daughter, “I may not know how to do much mechanic work, but I can change the oil.” So in his Subaru, he jacks it up climbs under and unscrews the transmission drain plug….😂 Then has to pay a mechanic to come pump trans fluid back in trans because there is no fill cap or way to fill under hood. I googled and told him what to buy, a transfer pump and fluid. He is like no thank you I have messed up enough, lol
😂
I’m jumping from ‘90s jeeps (my dad’s YJ and TJ) to my JKU bc the first out of warranty one was way too much. So I’m mostly watching for tips on minimal mess. And also apparently to get fender envy…
HA! They are pretty dang good czcams.com/video/hfdXMjarO9c/video.html
I used to do my own oil changes on all my vehicles when I had a place to do it. Once I got older and bad back and 29.95 oil changes I stopped doing my own. It got hard to dispose of the old oil. Oil changes are 69.95 here now so it’s worth it to crawl under and DYI.
I had a phase of having them done for a while too.
I will be doing this next week.
Try and have fun with it!
Nice job! Jeep is looking pretty nice too. Any special off road trips planned for later this year, assuming the world gets back to it's normal state of crazy??? lol
I’d like to get back to Mexico and of course Moab ... maybe the Northwest
Great video Jason as usual, I've alwayes used to drain the oil but I've also heard people using a portable Oil sucking pump ? will that be Ok to get all the oil out ? what you think
I say use whatever works best for you... I use both for transmissions.
Do you wait for the monitoring system to say hey change the oil? I've been changing mine every 5000 kms regardless. Another great video Jason... keep en coming man.
Back for my first few years with the Jeep and using traditional oil, I would change it on somewhat shorter intervals like you do. I drive the thing hard so better safe than sorry. Now that I'm using a high quality synthetic... it honestly doesn't do any extra good to change so early and the oil is much more expensive anyway. This particular oil is good for 8,000 miles or so but I'll still do it at around 5 or 6.
Thanks!
This video (plus taking into account it's now pushing $80 in my area to get a lub,oil & filter change) got me to finally go back to changing my own oil. I did my 2018 Jeep Wangler Unlimited JL. Ok, so I'm a little rusty. I have one of the oil pans you showed (not the nice catch jug) and I bought a jug with a wide mouth to pour the oil from the pan into. Well let's just say it was far from a perfect oil change. I will be either trying to stop the oil 1/2 way into the change and pour that, or spring for a new jug / pan combo like you showed! Practice makes perfect :-)
On a separate note, when I put the oil plug back in, as I got about 2/3 through turning it, I could feel a grittiness. I'm thinking I have metal shavings in the pan??? I could feel no shavings in the oil that was on the plug itself. Not sure what to do about that.... any good suggestions would be welcome. I seams like I should be inspecting further and getting the filings out somehow. Since it's still under warranty maybe I should just report it to my jeep dealer service writer...?? Thanks
I really like hearing this! Glad you got out and worked on your stuff and had fun! Thanks for coming back and sharing!
Good video..my jeep wrangler 2010 it waste oil
I've used Valvoline advanced full synthetic. I live where temps fluctuate and its been a great oil on preventing wear and not becoming thin at high or thick in colder temperatures. I also run a BG Epr engine clean every 10k and add BG MOA to my oil and that has made the rattle virtually stop. BG can't be sold to the public but can find on Amazon for around 50.00. Everyone has their preferred oil just remember to not go back and forth between manufacturers if you can prevent it. Lastly I love your front bumper. Who makes that?
Please don't stack pans. I tried it and well, GUSH! Oil spill. Other than that, the oil change was super easy. Thanks Jason!
Dude! I have been thinking about using 0W on my JK! My lifter rattle has been bad when its cold since I switched to Castrol! I heard a lot of jeepers do this with the 3.6! No I have to do this! :-)
HA! Well here ya go! Does good for me... hope you are well!
I didn't get a oil filter seated all the way once, backed out of the bay and saw the mess. That was 20 yrs ago, and to this day I still triple check the filter.
It’s legitimately traumatizing!
I have a 2016 jk and live in Michigan, I hear what you are saying about the lifter rattle would you recommend the 0 w 20 hear with the cold?
Yes, the 0w is exceptional in cold weather.
Hey Jason, is it better to change the oil in the driveway or in the grass? Obviously clean up on the driveway would be easier, but I need shade and have a tent I plan to use over my Jeep. Not sure how I would anchor it, if it is just on the driveway. Thanks.
I would use the most level surface. My driveway has an incline so the garage or side yard works best for me. You might not even need a tent, since this should only take you 20-30 minutes! Good luck, have fun!
I was surprised you didn't have more professional puppy help! Hey Pinto 😄
Pinto was bored with me today... lol Made a quick couple of appearances and nope'd out!
As a goof , I wish you had used cheap $1.68, grocery store, house brand oil but sold it like the Lucas goop. The comment section would be a glorious dumpster fire.
That would be funny, like the 2 buck chuck wine thing from years ago... LOL
Ziplock bag for the filter? Brilliant.
I have my moments...LOL
Hey Jason - can you do a vid on any quality issues you have had with your JK, please?
I can put that on the list for sure.
What made you change your diff covers from the G2 to Metalcloak? I was thinking about getting the G2 covers.
I found the aluminum covers would leak a bit after dragging them on rocks and a few of the allen bolts stripped (cheap) when removing them to do repairs. If you get them... use a "lube locker" gasket and possibly get a differential skid.
