Randy BEAR Morton Many thanks for the kind words. I means a lot coming from a fellow tech. Thanks again!

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.

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".

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.

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!

@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.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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

Excellent video and info, thanks!

thanks David, your the man brother

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.

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.

Great video guys! Thank you!

Your welcome Jose. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe

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.

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?

Pefect explanation! Thanks

Thanks Peter! Appreciate the feedback

I have a friend who is a mechanic who built a cooler that will last a lifetime for $50 and now many Chrysler owners use his product

Finding your page has helped me learn a lot about my 2012 charger v6... thanks for your help! Lately I have been getting p06dd code and my car would not accelerate after hitting around 3000 rpm. I had recently got my oil changed at dodge dealership checked the filter and it is right. Cleared the code and erase the code it comes back on eventually but the oil psi shows around 40 psi under normal driving temp drops down to as low as 16 at idle when warm. I did notice oil at bottom of filter housing. Should I replace the oil filter housing or the oil pump or both? Again thanks for sharing your knowledge of these Mopar cars

I like techs like you. You know your shit

You are awesome! Thank you

This was Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎

Great video! Been there done that. Replaced it myself. I figured out when a oil change place would change my oil, they really wrenched on that 24MM cap housing. Bending and tweeking everything. Then the oil started leaking. Since I bought the van from my owner, I do every oil change. I'm very careful removing and tightening the cap. My question to you is: what can be done with the transmission to keep it from shifting down 1,2, even 3 gears going down a hill?? I will be going 70 MPH. As I start to go down the hill if I don't keep steady pressure on the gas pedal, and let off some to keep my speed at 70, the transmission will shift down! I'll go from 2,200 RPM to over 4,000 to 5,000 RPM!!!!! Ive tried everything to make it not do it. Nothing works! I put it in manual mode, still does it. Cruise on or of, still does it. Keeping my foot on the gas, when I do that, my speed just keeps increasing and now I am speeding! So whenever I see a down hill coming, I have to back way off and do like 40 to 45 MPH down a hill because of the shifting down. SO that puts everyone else trying to run me over going down a hill. I cringe everytime! Is there anyway to shut this off??? I hate it! I don't like my engine to go over 3,000 rpms! It's been back to the dealer many times and they say the transmission is working the way it's designed to. I'm and Expediter and I haul freight all over the country in this van. I have over 555,000 miles on it. I love the van, except for the transmission. I would think there would be a switch on the dash to shut it off. We think it's a program in the PCM or TCM that makes it do it. Can it be over written or deleted??? Cause I will tell you, it really sucks going 70 mph and all of a sudden your transmission drops down 3 gears and your engine is screaming!!! All these Promasters do it. Most people don't care and they just let them rev. I don't. Mine is a 2014 Ram Promaster 3500 3.6. Any information would be greatly appreciated !!! Thank you! Randy.

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.

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?
