I used this video (and others of yours) to do work on my 2004 Grand Cherokee. Unfortunately, I still have a leak after the engine cools down, but the information was invaluable and helped me do this when two shops wanted between $700-$900. Thank you. One note: the oil pan cannot be dropped if you have the vehicle on ramps. I needed to lift the front up on jack stands to release pressure off the front suspension to have enough room. Can't thank you guys enough.
Glad this helped you out Jeff.
Thats because you used the weather strip adhesive gasket. Only use that on the corners.
Very professional! I'd recommend you for a mechanic job any day✔👌
Thanks for checking us out
Awesome detailed video. You mentioned the blue fasteners that come with most gaskets. If you're doing this in below 75 degree weather I recommend using the fasteners instead of the sealant. It takes too long to dry. Also worth mentioning, pull the fasteners out one at a time and replace them with a bolt first, then bolt in the rest of the oil pan. Lastly, that trans line should go on last (in case you're too lazy or oily to take the double bolt apart), it bolted in leaves zero wiggle room to start other bolts if they don't line up. Awesome detailed video. Best on CZcams for this job.
Thanks for watching!
Very well done with surgical precision, thanks for attention to the details, I'll be watching this again right before I attempt this same project. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Florida...I want to live do there I'm tired of freezing..lol
GREAT video I had to watch it again to familiarize myself,I'm about to do my bottom end bearings, I'm losing all oil pressure when it gets to operating temperature, you sure make it look easy and thanks again. Çheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Great vid guys! Wish I had a lift, did this on garage floor....your explanation of interference removal was awesome..yeah that flimsy heat shield for O2 sensor cable shredded during removal. As you mention self-fabricated using several wraps with alum foil. The plastic holder for tranny lines busted in half as tried to press in the lines, so zip tied in criss cross pattern against what is left of the clip. Also did the split rear main seal with my gasket and pan replacement....suspected it was leaking too. What I did find the pan gasket was split and broken near the rear main....either way I have 2 good seals replaced, no leaks > and this car was donated to a lady at church.....could not give it away with oil leak right? Parts are relatively cheap.....labor always is big cost. DIY save $$$$ and feel good when done, crack open beer relax :) BTW I have 2001 and there is a 3 or 4 piece black bar assembly that bolted to engine and part to the flywheel access cover that had to remove...and then it bolts to something back on the tranny? The shop manual did not even mention this, but was clear it had to come out to get access....maybe an after-market upgrade to stabilize something?? Not sure, installation always reverse of removal! :)
Thanks for watching Mario, glad this helped you out.
How does one diagnose a leaky main seal? Seems if your in this deep, why not go the extra step? Mine is leaking “in that area” but pan gasket or main or both? I’m just presume both to be safe?
you can usually tell if it's leaking when you take the oil pan down, or if the rear or the oil pan is wet with oil and the leak is not coming from up high on the motor and trickling down, it might be the oil pan gasket or the rear main seal leaking.
excellent , thank you . very helpful.
You are welcome!
Good camera man .
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to sub the channel to receive all of our latest uploads.
Great vid thank you, torque specs would’ve been nice but that’s it
Thanks for watching. We'll keep this in mind.
buy Jeep OEM shop manual in .pdf - they are cheap, maybe even can find online for free?
Do I have to mess with the timing chain on a 2004 grand Cherokee laredo 4.0?
Got a great offer to buy one that was quoted $1300 to replace the oil pump but charged $200 for the diagnose alone so hoping it's a sensor. Asking to know worst case scenario
$200.00 for a diagnostic is ridiculous. We currently do not have a video that shows how to replace the oil pump on a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME I HAVE SPENT THE LAST 6 HOURS FIGHTING THIS OIL PAN WATCHING THIS VIDEO OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THE WHOLE TIME I COULDNT GET THE OIL PAN OFF I REALISED THAT I DONT HAVE THE JEEP JACKED UP AND THATS WHY I CANT GET IT OFF WHOLE DAY WASTED
Thanks for watching. It's not that bad of a job.
No lift
It's ironic, that I overlooked this comment thinking it wasn't that big of a deal. Only until today when I'm doing it with the car on RAMPS where I figured out WHY you need the car jacked up... -_- Now I feel utterly screwed.
I followed this video relatively closely, and have hit a rather big snag. I cannot get the oil pan out due to an "unknown" bar connected to the suspension. I have the car suspended on ramps, as I have never worked on a Jeep and thought at first it wasn't going to be that big of an issue.
I got no jack to lift the frame up a little bit. Any ideas?
Sorry Adam, I just noticed this question. Were you able to figure out how to remove the oil pan?
@@HomeOwnerRepair Thank you for the reply, and you're all good. I managed to get it changed, had to borrow a jack from a family member but we mnaged to get it dropped and replaced.
Thank you very much. At 4:50 - how do you open that clamp to remove the transmission cooler lines? It''s magic and wasn't included in the video. And at 21:30, what's the name or part number of that girdle? Mine was age-hardened and the plastic broke up when I tried to get into the last two bolts for the oil pan, so I think that I need to replace it.
If you look closely at the clamp there is a kind of a latch that snaps into place that you have to open. I'm not sure of the part number for the gasket that it looks like you are referring to, but you should be able to buy one from your local Jeep dealer. Hope this helps you out.
Where are you guys located in MA. I work at a shop in MA, but my boss won't work on the valve cover gasket or oil pan gasket on my 2001 Grand Cherokee, because it's old and he wants me to just buy another car.
We do not have a shop that is open to the public. Thanks for asking.
Is it necessary to replace the pan when doing the gasket? I don't know why the pan can't be reused.
I don't know about this vehicle, but I've replaced gaskets on oil pans before and then reused them. But that was on a old Grand Caravan.
Hi Mark, If the oil pan is in good shape you can reuse the oil pan. If the oil pan is leaking which is very common on these Jeeps we recommend replacing it.
😮😂he said,
Not every hole, but every other one, and I should be alright.😢😂
yes, this is our advice...lol
Questions here: 1 - why are you replacing the oil pan? 2 - why are you not replacing the oil pump & rear main seal while you have that chance? Since this ain't a new car, wouldn't that
have been much smarter to do?
The oil pan was the only thing leaking. It was starting to rot away, common problem on these Jeeps.
4.0's have split rear main seals and are the main cause for leaks. If your'er this far, why don't you do the seal? I bet it comes back in for an oil leak!
Because it's Steve's cousins Jeep and he was aggravating the crap out of us....ha..ha.lol
Wish I'd seen this comment on Saturday instead of Monday....😭 Must be where my leak is still coming from. At least it's less though. 🤷🏼♂️
was this on a lifted Jeep?
These Grand Cherokee was not lifted. Stock height.
Where in mass are you located?
Northern part
Torque specs anyone anyone?
Oil pan 18 ftlbs
60 foot lbs. Snug will work.
The 4 larger bolts are 84 in-lbs and rest of smaller bolts go at 132 in-lbs, and it is worth buying an in-lbf torque wrench! Convert to ft-lbf and those wrenches are barely accurate at very low torque...also go buy the OEM shop manual in pdf....there is so much good documentation online, why ask what you can find for self?
Thank you for watching our Jeep Grand Cherokee oil pan replacement video.

Thanks for watching
°^° I found pieces of pistons in my oil pan
That's not good
@@HomeOwnerRepair yeah I dunno if I should just get a new engine or just let it go
@@dakaron02 these pistons had a tendency to crack and gall apart. This is a stout engine. I had the same thing happen and ended up rebuilding the engine and putting in New pistons. Same rods. I am no mechanic but followed CZcams videos and got it rebuilt. Has 11k miles on it now.
