2017 Jeep Wrangler JK Oil Change in 4K
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 08. 2024
- The Jeep Wrangler JK is by far the easiest oil change I have ever done on a vehicle, including our past Jeeps. The oil filter is located on top of the engine. Removing it can be done a lot easier then the oil filters mounted underneath the engine.

*A lot of viewers have been real grateful for our DIY videos and have ask if there was a way to buy us a Beer. CZcams now has a ‘THANKS’ button under every video, Just click the button.* 😀 *It’s not required or expected, but it is appreciated. THANK YOU!*
Hands-down this is the best oil change video for the JK. No nonsense, no screwing around trying to figure out what you’re doing, just a straightforward and great job. Thanks! This is my go-to video every time I change my JK’s oil just to make sure I don’t skip a step. 👍🏼
Thanks Robert! We appreciate your comment . 😃
While having a bouncier and noisier ride than other vehicles the Jeep Wrangler does have a lot going for it in terms of accessibility for regular maintenance and interior roominess. And they are still available with manual transmission, a major plus in my book, and they are fun to drive. They are the original off-road SUV since 1941 and still going strong!
This is our 4th Wrangler and our 6th Jeep product.😃
Thank you for telling us that when you take the filter out the oil drains with the engine oil, you're the only one who specified that detail. Thank you!
You are welcome. 😀
Who'd thumbs down a video like this? People, I tell you. One wonders sometimes. Thanks for this video. I think I can pull this off even though I don't have a garage as long as I make sure I don't drop engine oil in my assigned parking space
Glad you liked the video. I did oil changes for many many years without a garage and this is the easiest one I ever did. :)
This is possibly the greatest design for an oil filter I’ve ever seen. You don’t see simplicity like this very often in newer vehicles.
We love the filter and the location. 😀
I use a large piece of cardboard (that's codboard for you) to protect my garage floor during oil changes. Whenever I get something that comes in a large codboard box (ie: refrigerator) I cut the box up and save the large pieces for just such an occasion.
Thanks Peter, good tip. Codboard...hahahaha :)
I want him to say CHOWDAH in one of their videos!!!!!!
That may happen if I convince Cheryl to make hers and we video it. LOL
Thank you sir! About to do my FIRST oil change today by myself on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. Thank you so much for the breakdown and tips!
You are welcome, Good Luck! :)
This is by far the BEST oil change video on uTube...hands down for a Jeep JK!! The oil change is so similar to my BMW (due to oil filter type)...that most people do not realize to keep the oil plug off and uninstalled from the pan until the oil filter portion has been complete. Absolutely correct with adding oil to the o-rings!! The only difference (...just a preference starting from top down. I recommend...is to remove the oil filter first. Then remove the oil pan plug. Then, install the new oil filter. Finishing with installing the oil pan plug. Just changing your order a little, but otherwise PERFECT!! GREAT job!! Merci
Thank you for your comment, appreciate it.😀
Just changed the oil in my (new to me) 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport “S” 2 door.
Thanks for the help guys, I enjoy your videos very much. Especially your Jeep videos! ❤️
Your are welcome. We do have a couple Jeep related videos on our New CZcams Channel too. This channel is dedicated to our Jeep and our RV. czcams.com/users/GetGonewithUS
How often do you recommend changing the oil. I think I’m about due again. (?)
I have watched this video a half dozen time while changing the oil in my wife’s Jeep. But really I just watch it for the east coast accent factor 😆.
That's s what most people do! 😀
Just had the dealer change our oil and rotate the tires. We have 3 more freebies left. After that, I will install a Fumoto valve and do them myself. New Pig sells an oil absorbent mat called Pig Mat. I just got a roll of it. We sell TONS of it to the oil and gas people. Keep the great videos coming!
Good and informative video however there is a reason why the Fram filter is smaller, its because they have to make it different in someway to circumvent trade mark and patent laws. Canister filters are critical that they are the right size. I would only use original equipment filters.
Thanks for your info as to why they are smaller.
Just an additional warning the torque on the oil filter cap is extremely important. That's why most Jeep owners do it themselves and not the minimum wage high school kid at the Jippy Quik Oil Change and Dog Wash. If you over torque the cap it can crack and that is a $300 part and will require the top half of the engine to come off to replace. Great video by the way. None of the "apologize for holding the camera in one hand" shaking blurry nausea. Well done.
Thanks for your comment and input. It definitely would not take much to crack the the cap.
Thanks for the video!!! About to do my first old change in less than 1,000 miles for my 2017 JK
Thank you for your comment. Good Luck! :)
i could say this video is very well informative 2 thumbs up! i watch tons of tons of video from any jk owners..as a newly jeep owner thanks for the video i hope i can do this by my self 👍
Thank you for your comment. It's not hard, but then, I've been doing oil changes for years. :)
The best video on CZcams, great job
Thanks! We appreciate that Brandon! 😀
I just bought a new 17 leftover Rubicon Recon a few days ago with 4 free oil changes I'm surprised they told me 4months 4000 miles I'm old school with 3000 miles I like that the filter canister is on top vs my Rav4 on the bottom its always have oil left in it even with the provided drag spout with new filter is the filter upside down cleaner hopefully nothing worse than smelly burning oil on a hot engine
Congrats on the Rubi! They told us the same thing about the free oil changes, we chose to not take them up on their freebies. I find the filter setup up cleaner and easier to change.
If you are the first owner, prior to removing the oil filter cap, I use a small artist paint brush with a small touch of white paint and mark where the oil filter cap meets the filter housing ... that way i'm assured that I replace the cap to the original torqued position without using a torque wrench.... works for me !!
Thanks for showing how to reset the oil light
You are welcome! 😀
Super helpful I wasnt aware of how to reset the oil life. 🙌🏽TY so much
You are welcome. Glad it helped. 😀
Thanks for the tutorial. Now doing my oil change on my own
Cool, glad the video helped you. :)
Dude, that’s cool as hell. I had no idea these jeeps were so easy. I had to watch this to learn how to do my moms jeep and I learned quit a bit. Thank you for the video, liked and subbed. I’m really curious if the new 2020 gladiator is gonna be the same way. They say it’s just a wrangler with a bed (exactly the same everything), but we’ll see.
Thanks! If you'd like to see another video on how we change the oil, my wife also did an oil change on the Jeep. 😀 czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html
5:00 a tip ive learned over the years is that in order to avoid that 'glub glub glub' from the bottle, you should pour it upside down with the handle facing the funnel instead of the opening for the can. only downside is it might be a little higher than normal
I've heard of doing it that way, but I've been doing oil changes for so long, I never think about until after the I'm done doing the job. LOL
Your are a 10, great instructional videos, very clear and precise. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment! :)
Ive been looking at your Jeep sahara videos, made my decision to buy mine easy, thanks for all this and you two seem like the best couple.
Thank you we are glad the video helped you make your decision. Cheryl and I have more than 30 years together, we are each others best friend. :)
Hi WeRmudfun thanks for the post very helpfull minus the torque specs. Appriciate it!! I will definitely be doing my own from now on.
You are welcome. 😀 Good Luck!
Change the oil in my 2010 Jeep Wrangler Islander once a year or at 10-15k miles whichever comes first. I usually have 8500-10,000 miles in a year. I use Amsoil Signature Series 5W30 and their Ea15k51 oil filter. I bought It wanting an easier vehicle that I could work on.
This is the easiest Jeep we have ever done an oil change on. 😃
your oil filter is in a much better location than my car. its a workout everytime i gotta change my oil filter.
The Jeep is the only vehicle we have that has the oil filter above the engine. It’s so much easier than crawling underneath.
Also, my Mercedes CLK63 is at the top as well.
Thank you for the video and your time. it made me have a simple change.
You are more than welcome! We are glad it helped you.. :)
Thanks man. I'm tired of paying for something I think im able to do. This definitely makes me feel confident with me and my Jeep :D
You are welcome! Cheryl also did an oil change on the Jeep if you are interested in seeing it, check out this video...czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html
Great job with the video!!Thank you 👍
You are welcome, thanks for your comment! :)
Very well made video!
Thank You! Glad you liked it. 😀
Very, very, nice video. Thanks for all your work, extremely forewarning and descriptive.
I wish you did every automotive tutorial I come across on CZcams honestly; don't go changing. :P
Thank you so much for your comment. We don't intend to change the way we do things, just the channel we put them on. The RV and Jeep videos will now be on our GetGonewithUS youtube channel. czcams.com/users/GetGonewithUS :)
thanks for sharing... very straight forward
You are welcome! :)
You are so great with yours videos.Very professional.Thank You.
Happy New Year
Thank you! :) Happy New Year to you too!
Thank You :))
Great informative video as usual! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you, we are glad you like it.
Thanx for this video!! You were so helpful!
You are welcome. WE are glad you found it useful.
Thank you! This is a GREAT video! -Elizabeth
Thank you. My wife Cheryl just did the most recent oil change on the Jeep if you are interested in seeing it, she wanted a turn... czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html
Thank you!
Hadn't done one on our Jeep yet and just assumed the oil filter is underneath. Glad to see it's on top like a Subaru. I do feel an oil change every 3000 is a waste of time and mostly money. There's no reason any vehicle won't go 5000 now, especially if when it even states that in the owners manual..... but whatever.
We like the filter on the top of the Jeep too. I was brought up old school on fluid changes. The 3000 mile change was mainly because the Jeep was brand new and we were going on a long trip. I have since FINALLY changed my ways and switched to full synthetic oil and go a lot longer between changes. 😀
Very cool. Nice to know. Thanks for sharing. I still have like 2 free oil changes from the dealership. I should probably learn to do this myself.
We decided against letting the dealership do the free oil changes or ever touching our Jeep again. We had some bad issues with our dealer where Jeep Wave had to get involved. All is good, the oil changes are super easy! We'll be sending you a PM shortly. :)
Ok got your message. Accidentally sent the wrong contact info the first time so use the one in my second message to you.
No, the dealership didn't screwup an oil change, it was the delivery of the Wrangler to us where they went above and below to be the worst dealer Jeep has ever seen! We went straight to Chrysler about it, the General Manager went out of his way to correct the issue, but we still would never let them touch any vehicle we own. The Old Man EMU was the lift we went with last time and will look at again when the time comes. Send us pictures when you get it done, so we can see how it looks. Our email is right on the CZcams Channel page
thanks for your video very informative.
You're welcome. :)
Thanks for the great video
You are welcome! :)
Go Sox!
Holy crap, i didnt know menu told you all that stuff
There are a lot of cool things about the Wrangler. This video might interest you then. czcams.com/video/Qa1jKWXi4vk/video.html
Amazing video man. 👍🏻
Thank You. My wife did one herself too. czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html
Great vid - thanks for putting this together!
You are welcome. Thanks for your comment. My wife actually did an oil change on it too for our other CZcams Channel. czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html
Your videos are awesome - thanks!!
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
I hear you about under the car. Try doing it on a 2013 Porsche Boxster. It is under the car and very far up there that you need an extension tool to access it. Impossible with just your hands.
I imagine that could be a chore. 😀
Great video thank you 👍
You are welcome! :)
thanks for that
You are welcome!
thx! just did my oil change, using your vid as a guide! Mine is a 2012 JK, so filter was different though. Was still helpful though!
Congrats! I'm not sure what year they moved the filter. 😀
Actually the position was the same. Just the filter itself was different. Your filter has a plastic rod that extends down from it, mine is the opposite- an opening that fits onto a rod inside the oil case. But all the steps worked perfectly!
@@MyWalkAround Cool! 😀
perfect !
Thank you. My wife did an oil change on the Jeep too for our other CZcams Channel if you are interested... czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html
Thank you
You're welcome Mike!
You guys are great please keep it up
Than k you! :) Any future videos will be on our new Jeep and RV Channel... czcams.com/channels/2BzH3yt-eVhaCBPMjGGqkQ.html
Have you heard much about the sand casting engine/coolant on the '17? Or was that typically on the early 3.6's?
The research we did show's the 2012's the majority with that issue seem to be 20112 and early 2013s. 😀
Well done !!
They changed the design of the filter in 2013 or 2014. 2015 to current take the same filter.
Thanks for that info! :)
Great video! Love your accent and thought u were funny too. Fun to watch! :)
Thank you! :)
Great video. Thanks!
You're welcome! :)
Excellent, professional looking video guys! you look and sound like Kevin Bacon's older Tappet Brother!
Thank you. BTW no relation to the Bacon's. LOL :)
I wish a kumquat was used in changing oil. Good video.
R's geez, I keep forgetting them. LOL Thanks for the comment! 😃
@@WeRmudfun thanks for the video. I got my first Jeep and needed a good video on oil changes. I appreciate it.
@@peanut366 You are welcome, enjoy you first Jeep, we are on our 4th Wrangler and love them. If you want to see another one, my wife did an oil change on it too for our our CZcams Channel. czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html

Thank you, glad you liked it. :)
Excellent video.... very helpful.. :-)
Thank you. :)
I’m from Jersey and thought we talked funny 😆
Don't we all talk funny? 😜
IT really helps. thanks Bro.
You are welcome! :)
What size wrench did you use to remove the filter?
24mm
Great video as always. Should the replacement filter come with a new housing o-ring?
Thanks! Yes the O ring should come with the filter. I always look inside the filter box to make sure it is there. 😀
@@WeRmudfun it did. I didn't know about the O-ring til I watched your video. The K & N filter was only a couple bucks more so I bought that. I usually run Mobil 1 and had to buy Pennzoil for the Wrangler. I installed one of those Ezoil drain valves so I should be able to do the next oil change in 10 minutes. As always, thanks for posting the great videos.
@@johnlocke6410 Great Job John!😀👍
You`ll wanna put a earth magnet or Filtermag on your oil pan I use them on all the pans from day one of owning my Jeep cheap insurance if you ask me. I gpurchased my earth magnets off of Amazon got a box of 8 and gave the left overs to my friend for her Jeep.
Thanks for the idea. 😊
I been hearing alot of things about the oils &filters,so my question is what is the best oil,that required for the jeeps?
What's the difference
What''s a "qwat"? Is that a new unit of measurement?
It is if you come to New England. LOL
Hey guys time to change the oil on the 2017 wrangler...btw no torque specs in the manual but my real question is whether to use conventional oil or the synthetic oil. what is the Quaker state advanced formula doesn't seem to say...thanks for any input...hope you guys are doing ok:)
We are doing fine, currently in PA. Hope you ae doing OK too. :)
Really depends on how often you intend to change the oil. The only things I ever put full synthetic oil in was our Harley Davidsons. Anything that meets Chryslers requirements is what we would use for the Jeep. We change the oil between 3-5K miles.
@@WeRmudfun Glad you guys are doing well in PA...am going with the Quaker like you used in the video I believe it is conventional...wish me luck...lol
@@legaleagleandpaws8198 OK Good luck. Cheryl did an oil change on the jeep too. She told me not to give her any help, so I filmed it. :) ... czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html
Ive watched different videos , Everyone's doing 6 quarters but some forums suggest 5.7 quarters. Is this a big difference?
Read your owners manual. Our says 6 quarts that what we always put in. 🙂
What kind of sockets did you use
Craftsman
fram ............
yeah I can't believe he put in a Fram filter! :( I guess i'm just a Wix guy! :)
OEM. Mopar. Nothing else.
What OIL SHOULD I use for 2008 jeep wrangler that has 160,000miles ?_?
Amsoil 5w30 Signature Series. Provides the best protection from wear, deposit formation, oxidation, shear stability, cold startups, cost.
you press pedal 5times ?
3 times
Regular oil, blend, full synthetic???
That would be your own personal choice, we used regular oil that meets the Chrysler MS-6395 standard.😃
Go with Amsoil Signature Series. It is the best!
What is a qwat?
That would be quart without an 'R' it's a New England thing! LOL
Did the new O ring come with the new filter?
Yes it does.
Thank you for your reply.
@@mr.sideburns2031 You Are Welcome. My wife also did the last oil change if you are interested in seeing it...czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html
Do u need a jack to do a Jeep oil change ?
You shouldn't. We have 18' rims, so that gives us a little more clearance. My wife actually did an oil change on it herself. If you are interested in seeing it, here is the link... czcams.com/video/vNFFKF-lJ34/video.html
No. The ground clearance on JKs (2007-2018) is 10.5”.
Where are you from?. You have a Weird accent
New England. It depends on what part of the country you are from as to how weird your accent sounds. LOL
@@WeRmudfun I'm from north Carolina
