As someone that changes their own oil, this is the most detailed video I've seen of an oil change yet. You literally went from start to finish, showed every step and even very good close up details. I've seen oil change videos skip showing where the drain plug is or draining the oil, but you put absolutely every step in! Many thumbs 👍🏾

To reset the oil change light/message- put Jeep in RUN (Without starting) and scroll to the oil life screen and hit OK to reset the oil change interval..good video! doing this today on my wife's Jeep

Excellent detail in both the video and narration--easy to follow--well done, RB!

I wouldn't have put that on a customer's hood though. That was a great, informative video though.

Always open the filler cap in the engine compartment first. This vents the system and the oil will drain much faster.

👍Just what I needed to know.

thanks for the video RB! this was very helpful. I only wanted to add that I attempted this job without removing the cover and it really was not possible to get the oil filter out of there unless you take it off. I saw another video that claimed you didnt need to jack up the car, you need to do that too lol.

Excellent video and much appreciated. (I may be wrong) But before I install any of my new oil Filters, I always dab my fingers in a lil oil and give the gaskets some lube. Seems to allow the filter to come off alot easier on the next change as well as preserve them a little? Keep up the good work amigo!

Good video. I hate those plastic assembly for the filter with o-ring. It’s easy to break the plastic while removing the old o-ring. I prefer spin-on filter type. They don’t make cars as strong as they used to. This vehicule has plastic fuel rails, plastic valves covers, plastic intake manifold, and plastic automatic transmission oil pan. My 2010 Accord V6 still has metal valve cover, metal lower and upper intake manifold and aluminium oil pan for engine and transmission.

We had a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 3.2 V-6 and that OEM plastic oil filter housing cracked at about 62,000 miles. We were going down the road and lost 5 quarts of oil before the check engine light came on. I thought I had seen some oil deposits on that on that stupid engine cover a little before it happened. It was a $1,000 repair for labor and parts. Keep an eye on that stupid housing. Especially in you live in a cold climate. It happened in wintertime, right after a cold snap where we went to -14 F.

I have a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 3.6 4x4. Which oil and filter would be the best quality for my Jeep?

Changing oil in boats you have to suck the oil out too. Guess people don’t maintain there boats either.
