2015 Jeep Cherokee V6 Spark Plug Change

After about 93,000 miles on my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk I figured it was time for a spark plug change. This process should be very similar on any 3.2L Pentastar Jeep Cherokee KL from 2014 on up. Below is an affiliate link from amazon on what I think are some of the best spark plugs out there. They fired right up and now the engine is noticeably quieter and smoother. Feels like a brand new car. I would definitely recommend them.

Also special shout out to gpfreak1 for his initial spark plug tutorial, as I made this as a follow up to his video.

    Excelent video! Unlike others you actually described from where we need to detach hoses and number of screws to be removed in a step by step approach. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I have saved your video and plan to change spark plugs and ignition coils. I have cylinder # 5 miss firing on a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Overland that has 62K mileage, original owner. I’m hoping this will resolve the issue. Thank you again and keep uploading great videos.

    Did this last night on my 2016. Thanks for the vid. I would love to have a conversation with the knucklehead engineers that designed this vehicle. In particular the back right bracket bolt that is sleeved and zip tied to that huge wire shroud. Was not fun. Thanks again.

    THANK YOU. I had a shop quote me a grand for the spark plugs and a new air filter. These are things I now how to do myself but I've never done it on a newer vehicle. While the Jeep design leaves a lot to be desired, your video made it is so easy to navigate. I appreciate you making this video. It's so easy to follow and navigate in the engine with your help. Thank you thank you thank you.

    Thanks for this tutorial on spark plugs and coil insulation replacements. Thanks to your tutorial, I successfully replaced the spark plugs and coil insulation in my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited V6 3.2 Liter. Fortunately, the engine components in the Trailhawk is identical to those in the Limited. Your tutorial helped me when the Haynes Automotive Repair book did not. ONCE AGAIN ... THANK YOU!

    Thanks for the video. I finally changed the spark plugs on my 2014 Cherokee limited after 185k miles today. I may just have been lucky. It took me about two hours and wasn’t bad at all. The car was still running well until recently when it started throwing a cylinder three misfire code. I have not had any major issues with the car since I bought it new in 2014.

    Well I hope all your misfire was for was that spark plug. I wouldn’t want to worry you at all, but if you notice you are missing any coolant there is a chance that you could possibly have a head gasket/head issue. You could perform a simple block test to check for exhaust fumes in the radiator to identify a potential head gasket issue. 185k could just have been due for plugs, but if it continues with that code I’d hate for it to be a gasket leak.

    Great video! But note, the air box has a plastic locking pin next to the 10mm bolt on the top left- I believe the first one pointed out- that you can remove to avoid breaking the mount that he pointed out. And also, I wrapped my spark plug socked in electrical tape and added a tail so I could pull it back out more easily from the back.

    appreciate this; gave me a heads up on what I would be getting into. That black plate was really tough for me to get on/off. Also, I couldn't fully remove the screw with the threaded plastic cap next to that hose. I just pried the plate off by loosening everything.

    My Name stop the video at 1:55. In the center bottom of the image you see a black hexagonal shape with internal ribs (looks sort of like the old empty markers for a Trivial Pursuit). That shape is the top of the oil filter housing and is what you put a hex socket on to remove - the entire top part of the housing turns. Seriously annoying it is plastic, be careful not to damage or strip the housing when removing or reinstalling.
