I had free oil changes for 2 years when I purchased my Jeep, what a pain in the A-Sx2. Minimum time spent at the dealership was about 2 or more hours and the employees at the dealership= A-Holes. Today, I spent less than 1 hour on an oil change. Free was almost not worth the trouble. The DIY plus: I know the oil was changed and done correctly, the $90 service fee I was going to pay because of the synthetic oil, ended up being $40. Time and money saved. I can change my own oil, no prob, however, your video made the job easier. Thank you for your time and knowledge.

On my '15 JK I installed a Fumoto valve instead of replacing the stock oil pan bolt. Combined with a clear hose which goes on the valve, when I change my oil it doesn't require a wrench and the oil goes right down the hose into the catch pan and doesn't splash. Nice little aftermarket part. I also have skit plates so nothing can reach the valve. I'm sure some would worry about a rock catching and opening the valve.

It's probably worth mentioning you DO NOT want to overtighten the oil filter cap when putting it back on. At least on my JK, I believe the spec is 25 NM (about 18.4 lb-ft) of torque. if you overtighten it you'll crack the oil cooler housing (way to go, Chrysler), as my local JEEP DEALERSHIP did (jerks!). It's normally about a $750.00+ repair. I will not be going back to that dealership for anything ever again. I'd recommend considering adding a torque wrench to the list of tools.

My honest opinion is that on a 5k oil change on a quality name brand oil you really can't go wrong as long as it is the right viscosity in my case 5w20.

Is there an easy way to tell if the oil has been overfilled (I think my dealer may have filled with 6 qts instead of 5)? The oil dipstick on the 3.6L JL transitions from the flat plate at the tip (where the oil level is to be read) into a semirigid wire which is difficult to tell if it has oil on it from the oil pan or the dipstick tube. It seems impossible to tell if there is too much oil, as once the flat part is “full” (as demonstrated in your video) it is hard to tell if the oil ascends higher up the wire part of the dipstick. Thx

Top of oil filter is torqued to 18 ft lbs. JK owners cracking filter housing when hand tightening top of filter with hand tighten approach. If it’s under tightened it can leak. Drain plug also has torque spec. Oil level check after engine warmed for 5 minutes, per manual.

Isn't it common practice to lube O-rings before install? Unless mopar says otherwise, I would lubricate it and while you're at it, un-twist it once it's seated with a dull small flat head by running it in circles along the ring...just a thought

On a JL, the transmission is supposed to be serviceless and should last the life of your Jeep. There isn't even a dipstick on it.

Here’s something to think about because these Engines can go 5000/6000++ before the Oil Change Percentage shows 10%... I change my Oil every 3000 Miles and My Filter every 6000 ( 2016 JK)... I also run 5-30.... Well Just Because! : ) ... Just for some Info.... Does the JL have the same Tick on Start Up?

The all new ZF 8-speed automatic transmission is designed to be "serviceless" as in, you shouldn't need to change the fluid for at least 100k miles. It is the reason why it doesn't have a dip stick.

@@wayalife hey I have another question and I trust you more then the dealerships since I've been watching you forever lol. I just bought a rubi like 2 days ago. Shifting into 4h seems to be a pain. Feel like I'm about to break it. Is that normal for jl?

@@johnkorn1810 Actually, it is normal due to the tighter tolerances or at least, at first anyway. Try driving slower or in park before shifting for now. Over time, it'll get easier.

Should fill Engine with oil and start and let run for a few minutes then shut off and check level also doesn’t the wrangler 3.6L penastar take 6 quarts total with filter?

This is a JL and NOT a JK. The 3.6L motor has been modified for the JL and it now only takes 5 quarts. Look at our other video where I go over the underside of the JL and you will even see that that oil pan is a LOT smaller.

Wayalife Thanks for the reply back I see all the videos I see the smaller pan I’ve been a mechanic for 15 years I love all your videos just wanted to help out with the start before check level part is all otherwise nothing but knowledge from all your videos. The JL Journal is just a blast to watch keep up all the good work and thanks for filling in the blanks on the oil amount.

What do you do with the old oil?
