This man is the best dodge Mechanic i have ever seen and unlike some other youtubers he actually gets back to you every time I've ever asked him for anything
Many thanks for the kind words. I try to answer as many comments and question that I can....its getting harder and harder as the channel grows. Appreciate the support!
Good morning, I have a 2014 dodge avenger 3.6. The engine started vibrating and the engine light came on. We put a tester under the dash and it read code po520 would that cause the engine to vibrate?
Thank you for your videos they are very helpful.
How far can I run a vehicle with no oil filter bypass.. Found mine broken. Was able to take out some from the shaft. Nearest shop is 30 miles.
@@MotorCityMechanic how do you get the main wiring harness to release on the 3.6 liter dodge ram on the passanger side of engine.
Always good content, I own 2 of these engines and I have done the oil filtre housing on my own on information from your channel. Thank you.
So glad I found this page. My wife called today from her 2016 Jeep GC and said low oil pressure light just came on. I said pull over and shut it down. I drove 8 miles to meet her and oil was all underneath the car. No oil on the stick. Had it towed home and put a gallon back in, just to drive it off the wrecker and into the shop. Now it's not leaking (other than residual on frame/pan) Drain plug, filter cap, and filler cap all tight. Had no clue where to start looking. This video helped me at least find a starting point. Thanks, and wish me luck.
Thanks for your reply and I'll enjoy your show as long as you're on.
MotorCity Mechanic really knows his stuff. He is very knowledgeable and well experienced just by the way that he presents himself. I myself am a veteran mechanic, my hat off to you MotorCity Mechanic... keep sharing the knowledge!
Randy BEAR Morton Many thanks for the kind words. I means a lot coming from a fellow tech. Thanks again!
Thanks for the explanation. You saved my butt so much time you can't even imagine.. great video and please keep up the good work...!...TKS
Thank you Geno! Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Thank You! This was so educational. I also want to thank you for the video on changing the sensor without removing intake manifold.
Excellent Video, Excellent work MotorCity Mechanic. Gonna bust this out this weekend just because I found this video.
Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. Take your time and you should do well. Make sure to subscribe.
Dude, your the Boss! thank you for the EXCELLENT VIDEO !
Many thanks for the kind words. Glad I could help! Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Great video! Very clearly explained. Very helpful.
Much appreciated! Always happy to share some knowledge.
I was getting so worried that I was going to have to replace the Oil filter housing, but thanks to your video I got the dorman part and done. Thank you
GREAT VIDEO! Hands down MotorCity Mechanic is one of the best channels on youtube.
Oil change today revealed a broken spring valve mechanism. Nobody at the shop knew how it was supposed to work or if it was necessary. Even a trip to the local Dodge dealer left me wondering what part needed to be replaced - they could not find anything of the sort and no exploded diagram. I suspected then that this would require a whole new housing, or maybe it came with the cap. Your video cleared up all the mystery. I don't often comment on youtube videos, but your video really deserved an 'attaboy' today. Thanks!
+Tim Guezen I have been working with Dorman products to come up with a repair piece for this issue. It still may be awhile however. In the mean time the only repair is replacement of the oil filter housing/cooler assembly. They don't sale the individual pieces. I'm hoping that Dorman changes that. It's been something that I have been after them about for awhile now. Thanks for the comment and make sure to subscribe if you haven't already
I got my test samples into today......will be testing them out over the weekend. I will make a video about it once done. If all goes well.....it will be Nov/Dec before its avail at your local parts store.
I need one of these ASAP. Please contact me at biss12002@yahoo.com
Thank u bro that solved a 3 month headache 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome! Glad that I could help. Thanks for being a subscriber as well.
Thank you David. Another excellent video on something that may save alot of people alot of unnecessary problems.
this guy is amazing, very knowledgeable and informative, no bias,
for just a regular guy like me, information is our best source so we have at least a slightest idea
how "mechanics world talks" thank you, your kindness will go far.
Great video you know your stuff
Thanks Scott. Appreciate you checking out the video and for the kind words. Make sure to subscribe
Not sure if anyone mentioned it but Doorman makes a replacement oil bypass valve part# 917-992
I have actually done a few videos about that. That bypass valve is my one claim to fame.....after going around and talking to companies, Dorman was the one that agreed that it was needed and we worked together on making it happen. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic that is cool! However, I found the Dorman part to be just as failure prone. After two failures I opted to install the 2014-present assembly. I have a question related to the Slight extra height of the later cooler. Does the extra height indicate an increased cooling capacity or is it simply due to different supplier?
I wish i have seen this video 4 days ago it would have save me almost the whole day of work .... great explanation thanks for sharing your experience
awesome videos.... I recently bought a 2013 200, with a 3.6 engine, your videos really are helping me with the service on it, thank you
Glad to see that the videos help. Appreciate the feedback. Dont forget to subscribe if you havent already. That engine is the main engine we use currently and its in alot of vehicles. You can use the same videos for other models as well if need be.
Thanks for the info.. Here's another issue with this units: Coolant leaks. It has a series of plugs in the housing , depending on what vehicle it's used on. On my 2014 caravan, one plug let go and lost all coolant. Terrible design and location for a "plastic" assembly.
Your correct. It’s rare that it leaks coolant but it can for sure. I fully agree about it being made of plastic....not my favorite. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
@@MotorCityMechanic mine is leaking coolant seems to be just pouring out from it somwhere through that valley started slowly for a few months but now it just drains the system in seconds and is un-driveable I'm sure it's not getting in the oil though.
@MC - This is an excellent video. I just learned about this plastic part breaking a few days ago. And here you have full video and writeup on this issue. The newer housing has had problems and there's been two engineering changes to remedy the situation. My question to you... can the newer housing be used on the 2011-2013 3.6L motor? I think the newer filter design is better than the older design assuming they worked out the 2014 and newer housing design issues.
Thanks in advance..
I haven't tried to see if it will interchange with the older style. One issue I would see is the obvious.....every time you had the oil changed they would try to install the wrong oil filter. Both versions use a different style of cartridge filter.I have seen that done before by an aftermarket shop and it caused no oil pressure. Luckily it didn't damage the engine. Thanks for finding my channel and watching the video. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already
OK... I perform my own oil changes so that won't be a problem. This link was posted in a thread on Wrangler Forums.. that's how I found your video. I'm sure you'll be receiving many more visitors.. the thread is about a 2014 Jeep that the engine was "blown" and FCA is not honoring the warranty due to the oil filter. I'm assuming it has somthing to do with your findings. Great work here.
+a990dna Thanks.....I will try to see if I can get my hands on both versions to see if anything obvious is different when side to side. Its always cool to hear about links in forum threads.....glad to see that others are sharing the videos. I too would prefer the newer style if its possible.
MotorCity Mechanic i have a 2012 Grand Cherokee 3.6 and i just put new gaskets on the part but two days later it is leaking agin does it mean i need a new part??
I dont think the seals/gaskets were the initial leak.....I believe it was the plastic assembly. I recommend replacing the complete assembly this time and then you shouldnt have any issues. I do have some new assemblies for sale if your interested. Its an option if your interested. If so then email me at david@motorcitymechanic.com. Thanks again for watching and make sure to subscribe
Confirms everything I've read the last few days about this oil filter / bypass valve assembly.
I love his quote, "you know parts people, they give you what they give you, they ain't always right".
Thanks Main Street Auto and Motorcity Mechanic. The dealership likely broke the filter housing on my van two years ago and I think it will be up to me to fix it. Lots of info from you two. Upgrade also coming. Thanks , Uglysteve.
A regular engineer: "Lets place the oil cooler in an easy to reach spot in front of the radiator and isolate it from coolant so they won't mix, making it out of metal will make it last too."
Retarded Chrysler engineer: "Dur, duh, let's place the coolant and oil right next to each other in a plastic container in the middle of the engine! I'm smart!"
That oil unit is a POS.
Certainly not my favorite design. Just finished replacing another leaking assembly. Thanks for watching Kane and make sure to subscribe
Brother, I owe you many beers (or whatever you drink). Just a damn fine mechanic with an outstanding channel. Thank you
Good day sir, Just bought a Grand Cherokee 2013 and since i do a bit of mechanic i got into your great videos, Thanks men it's going to help me if i run into problems.
Your welcome and thanks for using my videos when it comes to learning more about your vehicle. Appreciate the following. Make sure to subscribe.
Perfect solution The shop was about to replace the oil sender and I found your videos. It was the wrong filter from Napa just as you said. I replaced it with the correct filter and all light are gone and the Van is not in limp mode anymore. You saved me 300$ as it was going in for repair this afternoon. I learnt a lesson not to trust the parts stores computer when you ask for something it might not be correct. Thanks again
Very true.....to many chances for mistakes. Glad you caught it and found my channel. Appreciate the comment and make sure to subscribe.
Excellent informative, in focus, detailed succinct video. Thank you
I am about to investigate an issue that I suspect involves one of the issues you raised
Been chasing an oil leak on one of these engines for 3 days. I found it after watching your video. To bad i can't get part for 2 weeks. Thanks for making video, it saved my butt.
Awesome. Thank you for the detailed explanation. Now i know what to watch out for on my JK 3.6. Great video.
Thanks Chuck! Appreciate the feedback and for you watching. Make sure to subscribe.
I have a 2016 wrangler I have change my oil since the beginning thank you for making me pay extra special attention to the oil filter I could easily see getting the wrong filter popping it in there and not realizing it’s the wrong one thanks again for this video. Just one moment in lapse of judgment and it could cost you an engine it’s not like you can see down in there when you pop that filter in
Great video, straight to the point an no B:S . I have replace so many housing . Yes you are right customers do get the wrong filters . Dorman does make the by pass spring assembly. We have lube tech have them break all the time . Thanks for doing the video.
Yeah I did a few videos about the bypass valve. I was the one that contacted Dorman about the item and we worked together and got it rolling and on to the shelves. Actually made a few videos about that. Chrysler finally started to offer it as well in the last few months....a bit late if you ask me. None the less thanks for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe!
Appreciate your videos. Just ordered the part via your Amazon link. Like you said there are 2 part numbers that appear to be interchangeable, but filters change. My 2015 200C 3.6L uses PN#68105583AE, same number for other models except E is an F and filter doesn't have the locator pin type end. Started this adventure going after an oil pressure sending unit code and using your 2 part video on that. Had tried your shortcut video, but just couldn't get to it so went the manifold off route. Once I got to it the sending unit just spun as the bushing in the housing that it screws into was stripped and had been visibly leaking by. Also worth noting is all the parts houses are selling a 1-1/16 oil pressure switch as a direct replacement that uses a standard 1-1/16 hex head so sending unit sockets won't fit (to small without the rounded edges) and there isn't room to get a normal 3" long deep well in there so unless you get an OEM sending unit plan on removing this "Oil Filter HSNG" just to replace the pressure sending unit. Any idea what the torx head size is on these housings and what the torque spec is?
Actually I have a few videos related to the housing replacement that include that info. Here is the link to one of that series: czcams.com/video/f0doIZI-fp4/video.html
Great video and info, you're the best. My oil pressure bypass spring just flew out as I was about to install a new filter. Never found the little plastic valve, just the spring. Couldn't find anything on Alldata about the spring only on how to replace the hole housing assembly. Your video really cleared everything up. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment. I wish someone would make a replacement piece instead of the whole assembly. Like the "help" section at your local parts store. Maybe one day they will. I appreciate you watching and make sure to subscribe
I work as a mechanic for a municipality where we are basically our own customer (as opposed to working flat rate for a customer) and have always wondered what your employers think of you guys making videos of you working? Great videos by the way. I can usually just use the little time bar thingy along the bottom or speed up the video just to see how you go about something I may be working on. We currently have 10 Ram 3500s and 9 Ram 5500s and I am here because of my '11 Durango 3.6.
That's really good info, thanks for taking the time to make the video.
I used the new housing and right filter for that housing and a new sending unit.
When I went to Auto Zone to get the sending unit I also tried to get the temp sensor but he showed me that the 2013 durango 3.6 didnt have a listing for an oil temp sensor. I thought wtf it has to have one im looking at a temp sensor of some kind but its not related to the P06dd I cant seem to get away from.
You are the best at explaining the ins and outs of mechanics. I appreciate that:)
On that p06dd code….your going to have to replace the oil pump assembly to get rid of that .
I truly value your videos. There are a large number of Jeep Wrangler guys such as myself that would love to see more Jeep 3.6 "How-To" videos. Many of us Jeep guys turn our own wrenches and truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you!
Many thanks! I will certainly keep the request in mind for future videos. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
@@MotorCityMechanic Thanks again, I and my Jeep buddies swapped out the oil cooler/filter housing this past Saturday (7 hours to do the work) and your torque sequence and torque pressure guide helped us BIG TIME. We decided to clamp the coolant hose rather than drain and it worked like a charm. While we were in there, we changed out the spark plugs and PCV as well. 85K, it was nearly time to do it regardless.
BTW, I have been a happy subscriber for months now :-)
@@appleguy1986 Many thanks. I wish youtube would make it obvious who has and how hasnt so that I stop asking people lol.
@@appleguy1986 Glad it worked out and appreciate the update. Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.
Great job brother! Keep on helping us out!
Dunecoones I certainly will. Appreciate the keep be words. Make sure to share the videos and subscribe!
with out knowing if this is the real problem I'm so confident I'm just going to order the part
everything you said is what I have been getting the oil over the transmission housing the code
keep up the great videos and you're way of explaining the problems and how to fix them
I feel that will be your cause of the leak. If you have around 100k miles on the vehicle it might be the best time to replace the spark plugs while everything is apart.
Thanks alot man you saved me $$$- i almost went to a dealership... "I got a oil change at Firestone on my Dodge Charger 3.6 Sxt 2014- The specs on the oil filter they put seemed to be the right size and new style but it was a cheap after market part (Engine light turned on>oil pressure was high/engine was running rough!)... I bought a Mopar OEM oil filter installed it myself> car runs great an nomore engine light..."

This video just really helped me because that damn spring broke on me last night and fell down the hole inside the assembly. Thought the damn thing went in the motor.
Sorry it happened. Its typically just a matter of time before it does. Thanks for finding the channel and video. Make sure to subscribe Robert.
@@MotorCityMechanic will do
This just happened to me today. It is a 2014 Jeep Wrangler JK with 82,000 miles on it. It is a few months older than its warranty and I think I'm going to be eating this one. Based on how common this issue was/is on the 2014 this should have been a recall item. New subscriber here. Really enjoyed your style of presentation.
Sorry it happened James. It does seem to be more common on the 2014 models for sure. Thanks for watching, commenting, and for subscribing.
About to fix mine on my 2013
That by pass valve is made by Dorman... you can get it from most auto parts and they usually have it in stock. Saved me a ton of headache before and it was the night before a long trip
First Class. On my 2nd ProMaster. Thank you from Texas
Thanks for heads up. I have a 2020 so the new style filter. Vehicle has less than 2000 miles so hopefully it will be quite a while before I see these issues but helpful troubleshooting if it does come around.
Based on seeing the full assembly off the vehicle and the plastic main body my main concern would be a stress fracture/crack of the entire housing body or crack around the cartridge housing.
Glad they finally came out with a Replacement part for that Bypass!
Very true.....its been out for about 1-2 years now. Chrysler finally came out with one last summer as well. Good to know that there are options. Thanks for commenting and for watching. Make sure to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic can this happenen on 2018 sxt Challenger I'm having bthis issue on my 2018?
@@michaelreyes8887 The version in the video is the old model....they have revised it a few times since and now its not an issue like it use to be. Thanks for asking Michael.
I had to replace this on my 2015 Chrysler 200s 3.6. I changed all the gaskets and did everything as I was told. After that though, my engine never sounded the same. Now one of my cylinders (cylinder 6) has a misfire. Change the spark plugs and the boots and it's still giving me the same error. Funny thing everything started going to hell after I had to change my radiator too, after my warranty expired. I'm to the point of selling this car. Thank you for your videos bro. You definitely explained everything really good. I really appreciate this.
Always the best and well thought out explanations!!

Best mechanic online watching his videos again
Just did my oil change in my 2011 I just bought two months ago and when I removed the filter the valve was there and I turned around to get the new filter and I heard a ping and gone... Fell down into the pan I drained the oil into. Luckily autozone had the Dorman bypass valve. Bad design but glad I was able to get the part to fix it! Love your videos man I've learned a lot about these engines.
Thats how it always happens for me.....I take the cap off and then get prepared for the sound. Most time nothing happens. Glad to see the part is in stock in stores. Wish I had asked Dorman for some money for the idea lol....lessons learned. Thanks for watching and for following the channel. Appreciate you reaching out as well.
MotorCity Mechanic I'm sure they have made a lot of money off that part. You should have gotten some compensation since you were part of the process and making people aware.
Its my mistake for not asking in the beginning......another life lesson learned....just wish I would stop learning them lol
Very Good and informative video for anyone looking into putting one of these units on .

Had to replace the oil sender on my 2014 Cherokee. Somewhat of a pain. But easier than my 2002 Blazer. Did use your videos to help me in removing and replacing the intake manifold properly.
Its not fun thats for sure but there are other repairs that really suck when compared to that as you mentioned. Thanks for reaching out and for commenting Jay. Make sure to subscribe.
I just brought my wife's Journey into the shop for the oil leak you described on top. It's still under warranty some I hope it gets fixed soon. I am glad I know what to look for in the future. Thanks for the video!
+Anthony Arevalo Your welcome. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Confirmed today that this was the culprit. It is covered under the power train warranty so no charge or deductible. The part is on back order according to the dealership though and they are having a problem getting it in.
Anthony Arevalo Glad it is covered and will not cost you anything. We both know the vehicle isn't drivable so hopefully they can expedite to so that they can get there hands on one faster.
Last week I bought a 2015 Ram Tradesman Cargo C/V bright white with 1300 miles on it. Man, they are very rare and hard to find now with lower miles on them. They stopped making them. That's cool with me, might be a collectible someday!
Great to hook-up with you and your expertise on the Pentastar 3.6 and I'll be one of your disciples from here on out!
( Hope the service tech at my local Dodge Dealership used the upgraded oil filter on my 2015??)
Thanks Again

Thanks for your video. Helps a lot.
Excellent vid man!you just got a new subscriber!
marcaineasunder Awesome! Many thanks and make sure to check out some of my other videos
great detailed description
Also note that the filter cap has a torque and correct u 45 degree adapter to be used. If torqued too much the filter housing can crack
Thank you so much for this video!!! So helpful!!!
Glad I could help!
Perfect description. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. It helps me understand better. My Dodge called to say when they tried to change the oil filter it broke and it broke because it was rotted and a bad design. So now I see that is not the case...the design may be bad but not that it was rotted. Hoping to fight the charges today.
The part is about $30.00 so dont let them try to sale you on the entire assembly. If you have seen my other videos on the issue you will know that Dorman now makes a repair kit just for that broken bypass valve, part # 917-992. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

This was very helpful thanks! I got given the wrong oil filter from the parts guy (Older style for my 2014). I as suspicious when it looked different to the old one. When I put it in, low oil pressure 0.4 -1.2 Bar. It should be 5.0 Bar plus. Returned to normal as soon as i put the right filter in
Excellent video. I just discovered oil in the V of my 2015 Chrysler 200. Pretty sure I know where it’s coming from now.
I just had one I had to replace yesterday just for this reason. Usually the oil leak level gets high enough that it starts flowing out the rear and on top of the trans. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Great video. It's gonna help me abit tomorrow when I attempt replacing that oild filter adapter O-RINGS. I got a very small coolant leak from there I believe .
I wish you luck......when it comes to that job I always recommend the assembly. Hate to have to do the job twice if those seals arent the cause. Cheaper yes but might cost you more in time. Thanks for commenting and make sure to subscribe.
Nice video! I've got a 2012 wrangler with the 3.6l. After watching this, I'm pretty sure I need to replace the oil filter housing. I had oil everywhere underneath and on my hood. Thanks!
+Jesse Whaley Double check to make sure nothing like the o-ring on the oil filter cap. Usually the oil will pool up under the intake and run out at back of the engine and down the trans.

MotorCity Mechanic Will you have to remove the manifold to replace the oil pressure sensor
Dean Hamilton Morning Dean.....it depends on the vehicle. The rear wheel drive vehicles will have to have both the upper and lower intake manifolds removed. On the front wheel drivers you may not have to. I know for sure that on the minivans I can get it out with out removing anything. I actually did a video on this for the minivan. I feel pretty good that I should be able to do the same on the other front wheel driver vehicles as well
MotorCity Mechanic I'm sorry I should have specified I'm working on a 2013 Jeep Wrangler JKU.
Dean Hamilton Yeah Dean.....you will need to remove both the upper and lower intakes. If your replacing it.....first make sure someone didn't install the wrong style oil filter cartridge. I have seen this a few times so far without checking the obvious.
👍very detailed. Good stuff
Many thanks!
very informative! thank you for this video!
Your welcome Jose. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
I finally replaced mine with an AL unit from Amazon. Put in a the 2014 style filter. Thought it would not fit in between the cylinder heads due to the cap on one of the casting plugs. But it went in! Old plastic unit had a bad O-ring on the oil supply tube, about a quart of oil in the galley. All the plastic clips are a PITA and some important ones break! Just so you are aware, purge hose broke in half due to brittleness.
Good info as I will be dealing with all this on my 2013 Chrysler 200 3.6l VVT. Thanks MCM.
Exactly what issue are you having with yours Larry? What repair will you be doing?
Well MCM. I will be replacing this same exact component on my 2013 Chrysler 200 with the same engine 3.6 l Pentastar. As stated in previous comments, I had taken it to my local Dodge dealership and they stated they were going to replace the Oil sending unit which they didn't. Not a bolt touched on top of the engine. They supposedly flushed my cooling system for 300 bucks as well. Guess what, now I have oil in my reservoir again. I have read numerous Chrysler blogs where this is a known problem from Chrysler 3.6 liter in my vehicle and Jeeps due to Chrysler using a stop leak sealant from the factory that deteriorated components from incompatibly while mixing with the coolant OAT or HOAT and the proper fix is to replace the Heater core, Radiator, and Oil cooler with of course numerous engine flushes to remove residue. However, apparently Chrysler won't admit it and create a total recall due to the time and replacement parts. They would be into it for major recall (labor and part costs). Like 2 grand per vehicle. To replace the heater coil it is-pull the dash replace the part-replace the dash. That is like 8 hours on the books itself, I Suspect. Now since I will not take mine back to back to my local incompetent dealership, it is time to replace myself. My heater coil is not clogged up halfway at this time, so I will just replace the cooler unit and flush the crap out of the system and hope for the best. I could use a video on how to replace this oil cooler. Methodical removal to get to it, etc. Do you have any.....or any tricks, shortcuts best practices to get there?
Oh just a P.S. for the incompetence of my local dealership. There was a change in Chrysler coolant from 2012 to 2013. Old (HOAT) =Orange 5yr./100k. New=(OAT) Purple 10yr./150k. Big warning sent to Chrysler dealerships in 2012-Do not mix the two, as it gels up and clogs your coolant system, causing coolant failure and possible engine replacement. Went to buy more coolant at my incompetent local dealership. Parts counter and the guy plopped down 2 gallons of Chrysler 5yr./100k. I said I don't think this is what mine takes. I said mine looks pinkish purple. This is orange. Parts guy said let me go ask the mechanic. Comes back and says mechanic said that this is what your car takes. So, I said well Chrysler mechanic should know best. Took it home and started thinking wait, let me look at my owners manual. Guess what, 2013 calls for 10 yr./150 k. Thank goodness I did not put crap in my car. Needless to say I made my return furious. Brought the warning with me and plopped it down saying what the hell, y'all didn't get this notice or just can't read? They all had the Deer in the headlights look. Told them to post this at eye level and have a come to Jesus meeting with all mechanics, managers, and parts personnel and do not sell THIS 5/100 to anyone with a 2013 or above! Oh I also asked what the hell did y'all put in my car when you flushed it? Matched the part number to 10/150 and it looks pinkish purple at the block temp sensor so, I guess they got lucky. Now, I would not have been so hot if this was the year 2012 thinking maybe they haven't got the notice yet.....but this is 5 years later. Last weekend. WTH? How many cars have they ruined? Again I say, I will not bring my car back there and will buy my parts online OEM MOPAR from now on..
What gets me is that the parts department can pull up exactly what the vehicle takes without asking anyone....guess someone didnt want to try to check in this case.
Pefect explanation!
Thanks

Thanks alot for this video! Since the oil filter cap relies on the o-ring for sealing and not the threads, would you say perhaps it would be a good idea to simply not tighten the cap down all the way each time you do an oil change to mitigate against overtightening issues and risk breaking the canider?
Thank you! great highly instructive. Have had this problem with my Jeep and it is a common problem with the 3.6. Youd think that Theye'd redesign it! also ran into the problem with Auto Zone trying to sell me the wrong oil filter. What a difference a year model makes. (Mine is a 2014) Got my first one replaced under warranty so now at 141k I will be waiting for your video on replacement when the shoe drops.
Great video, very informative... on the paper filter theres 4 tabs that lock into the threaded cap. On a premium paper filter there is a piece of plastic hanging between the 4 tabs...does that plastic piece that hanging between tabs sit in the tower on the bypass valve?
Dorman makes a replacement valve and spring to fix this issue # 917-992 filter bypass vave. Snaps right in, just make sure none of the old pieces are still in the cage "tower". List is $50, looks like they know how much money it saves you because for what it is the price should be about $5. Thanks for the video, it's nice to see what I'm dealing with without taking it all apart myself. The lower ring of the valve was inside the cage and I almost put the new valve on top of it, when I fished it out it fell down in the hole at the bottom. I figure it's just plastic so maybe it can't do much damage plus it's on the outside of the filter which means oil is flowing up from that hole. I do caution people to be careful not to drop the spring in there because the black hole at the bottom grabs everything although I assume you'd be able to retrieve it with a magnet pickup tool.
Now I learn something today good to know
Nice video.
Thanks
Many thanks! Dont forget to subscribe.
I like techs like you. You know your shit
I am a fan of the screw on oil filter myself.
I can see both sides.....one saves on metal because it's just the intervals....other has less chance of problems.
love ya bro! thanks man!
