Good video detailing the whole steps keep up the good work bud
This video is by far the best Iâve seen. Great job. Deserves more likes
Thanks! Unfortunately these plastic housings are a common failure đ
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive oh that was quite the repair! Was wondering why my wifeâs car was leaking oil. But, got it done no leaks now!
Very helpful video. I am working on my Jeep grand Cherokee 2011 oil leak in the valley. Waiting for the new housing and hopefully I will be done by Tuesday
This recently happened to my 2014 Grand Cherokee Laredo 2WD 3.6. I had the oil changed 2 weeks ago so idk if maybe they were a little rough putting the filter in or what. Then again the original houseing IS PLASTIC plus its a 10 yr old suv so maybe it was bound to happen sooner or later. Thanks to your video my mechanically inclined brother feels confident we can do this ourselves over the weekend đ. Ill be replacing it with an aluminum version đ. Worse case scenario a mechanic estimated only $250 labor charge if we can't manage it ourselves đ . Thanks for your knowledge!
Love the video thank you so much. I have a 2013 Jeep grand Cherokee. No oil leaked ever, however I was on the highway and it overheated all the way to 3/4 almost to the red. Pulled over and noticed the reservoir was full. No leaked from hoses or radiator, water pump, or anywhere else. Put water in the radiator after it cooled down and it immediately dumped out of the back of the engine on top of the transmission. Found out that there was a plastic coolant hose back there. Terrible design. Most Chryslers are!
Unfortunately these fail quite often đ. Hopefully you can get it replaced and be back on the road.
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive I did! I used your video. Could not find the coolant look anywhere. The oil cooler and heads were the last two places to check. Now the old oil cooler had no cracks and the coolant hose was just fine. Found out that the the O rings in the bottom of the cooler were bad and causing all of my coolant to leak out. I replaced it and I am good to go!
â @Valley Mobile Automotive Good day Robert, quick question. I completed the camshaft and roller replacements and have a P000D and P0018 code, stating that the bank 2 exhaust camshaft is slow to respond. my guess is that I might be off on the time chain slightly and need to go back and look to see if I am showing the 12 links. Any suggestions? Is is a matter of lining all the marks back up and if I am off on the 12 links to slightly turn the sprocket? any thoughts would be helpful.
How do you remove the electrical harness from the bolt behind the throttle body?
Great video. Is it also possible that the cooler will allow oil to flow into the coolant when it fails? Theorized that is what happened to my 2014 Grand Cherokee. Donât believe us was a head gasket. There is no coolant in the oil.
Need to know...what brand of oil filter housing is that? Dorman? What is your experience with the aluminum replacements? There are a few comments out there about differences in plastic vs aluminum and housing temperatures, some claiming that the aluminum gets hotter and the seals melt. I have a Dorman 959 from Oreillys, cost over $300 and I'm waiting to see if I can still get the 876 and save about half the cost because it requires swapping the old aluminum cooler from the OEM plastic filter housing.
You didnât drain the oil or coolant before replacing?
This video is great, thanks so much. Once Input everything back together and started the car, oil started leaking (more like being sucked in) to the oil coolant. What in your opinion could have possibly gone wrong and can I unscrew myself?
I would pull it back apart and make sure all the o-ring and gaskets are in place. If coolant is mixed with oil inside the engine then do an engine flush and two oil changes. If oil got in the cooling system then do a coolant flush. You might be ok but oil and coolant don't like each other.
You said to use dialectic grease on the valves to create a seal, but then showed itâs not a sealant. Iâm confused about it. Does the new housing not come properly sealed?
The dielectric grease does not create a seal. It lubricates to protect the seals during installation. It also helps the coolant hoses slip on easier. Some people confuse silicone paste for silicone sealant. They are different. Silicone paste and dielectric grease are interchangeable.
Do i have to drain some coolant from the radiators to dismount oil cooler radiator? Is it necessary? After the replacement, do i have to deaerate cooling, radiator system? If yes, how to do it?
Good question. The answer to both questions is no. Using a clamp at the back coolant hose will help with coolant loss. Some will come out of the oil cooler but not much. Having a syringe to suck up the fluid from the valley is highly recommended.
@@ValleyMobileAutomotivegood to know, Iâve got fresh coolant in there and I donât want to drain it. I donât have a hose clamp but I can figure something out.
What was the mileage when this leak occurred? Was the vehicle ever overheated prior to the oil leak? Did you ascertain where EXACTLY the leak was on the old housing? Do you think a bore scope tool could have shown this leak before it flooded the valley and overflowed?
Hey Bud! Good questions. Low mileage on this one, less than 100k. But it's 13 years old at this point. No overheating as far as I know. A bore scope would definitely allow you to see oil in the valley but you can't get a clear picture as to where the oil is coming from. It might just look like the last place that changed the oil got a little messy with it. It takes a lot of oil to fill the valley and start spilling over.
@ValleyMobileAutomotive thanks for prompt response. I always change my own oil, and I'm careful to never spill, so I'll monitor my 3.2L myself.
I'm suspicious that overheating, and overtightening the filter cap contributes to at least some of these leaks.

Mine did this... at 160,00km 100,000m in winter. thermal differences from aluminium to plastic. I believe was the issue. Now getting an aluminium dorman... shitty material choice is the reason it happened, I believe. Bad design. đ. Should be a recall.
