The owner’s manual calls for 5.9 quarts… What I usually do is drain the oil and while it draining I change out the oil filter and check/fill all the fluids up top and tire pressure check/add if needed… I usually buy a 5 quart jug and a quart… now I will start with about 4.5 quarts from the 5 quart jug, button everything up and start the engine, check for oil pressure then shut it down and recheck after about 10 minutes… I usually have to add a little more but very rarely do I add more than 5 quarts… if you let it drain for say a half hour you maybe closer to 5.2 quarts but it will never take the nearly 6 quarts the manual calls for… it’s easier to add a little vs having to drain some out which I have had to do… hope this helps? Just take your time!! Thanks for watching!!

This does not affect or change anything… the AUX battery is only used to power accessories when the engine shuts down on its stop/start cycle…

@jlautomotive6349 thank you, so far so good 👍🏻

If you dish out the $$ for quality oil, if not then 5k (3yr lube tech)

You don’t need to remove that plunger… I’ve had mine deleted the way I show for 2 years and have had zero issues

@@jlautomotive6349 you need to if you want the stop start to never function without hitting the button every time

Yes the stop/start will still work as the main battery is what starts the vehicle… the AUX battery is only there to run things when the vehicle shuts down at a stop. That’s why you can delete it and it changes nothing, I just wouldn’t use it and shut that button off each and every key cycle! Thanks for watching!!

I follow… but the AUX battery’s job is to power stuff while the vehicle is shut down during stop/start… that’s why if your running your heat in the winter or the a/c in the summer it won’t always shut down. I do not have the Uconnect screen in my jeep but mine has been deleted for 2 years with no problems… You do not “need” the AUX battery, but you do need to turn off the dash button every key cycle… The people I converse with that have an issue doing this are people who also run a programmer like a Tazer… hope this helps…

No, just isolates the AUX battery from the system… if left the AUX will kill the main battery. There is nothing negative from deleting the AUX

You are very welcome, thanks for watching!

I’ve actually switched to Valvoline’s new Protect oil and am very pleased with how quiet the motor seems… glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!!

Mine comes on still from time to time… it’s an error in the system which is why you want to delete it. Technically the stop/start will work if you don’t shut off the button but it will just use the main. The only way to “permanently” disable the system is to use Tazer… but I prefer this way as it’s essentially free. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!!

@@jlautomotive6349 yeah my main concern is the aux draining the main battery. This should prevent that, correct?

Yes this delete removes the possibility of the AUX draining the main… I have had mine deleted for 2 years with no issues! Also if/when you upgrade your main battery, get an AGM battery!!

@@jlautomotive6349 perfect will do! I plan on doing the main battery soon. Where do you get your batteries?

My AUX is the OE but deleted so it’s just in there but dead at this point… My main is actually an AGM Motorcraft (Ford) battery with a slightly higher CCA for winter duty as I live in NH

Thank you and thanks for watching!!

I agree 100%… the idea is cool but extra money for stickers and paint… this isn’t a Porsche… Thanks for watching!

I agree but being a throw back that’s how Bill Stroppee painted his broncos… Thanks for watching!!

I agree 100% but I don’t see ford doing that anytime soon as they are all about the ecoboost engine!! Thanks for watching!!

@ I hear you, but my father raised with Ernie Irvin’s dad, and quit racing when I was a baby because the pressure from my mom, but still, he maintained an automotive shop and we were big into Rod V8, And also growing up in the air of the 60s and 70s, the v8 to my ears So it’s still nice to dream

In the first minute I show all the sockets needed… as for your drain pan bolt if you can’t get it off you’ll need to replace the pan as you don’t want to play the game of is it sealed… never use power tools doing an oil change. Almost all of my videos I use hand tools as that’s what most DIYers have at home. Thanks for watching!!

I bought a new 2015 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi. 4x4 35000 OTD. Prices are insane!!!

Most of the hate is price tag related… they are incredible vehicles but the starting price is simply staggering… Thanks for watching!!

@jlautomotive6349 I've been saying for years that Ford need to do something with their marketing strategy🙍🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️ I even left that on their page which I am subscribed to 🤷🏿‍♂️

Well said! Thanks for watching!!

I will use my air compressor or my leaf blower from time to time to get that initial water off followed by my drying towel… Thanks for watching!!

Non of this is true… all your functions are through the main battery including all the computer systems and components! My AUX has been deleted for 2 years and is completely dead (I’ve checked it) and the Jeep still operates 100% normal and runs at 14.2V daily…

What year jeep wrangler/gladiator do you have?? Also you need to keep in mind that even though you delete the AUX battery from the system you still need to shut off the button on the dash each key cycle… Also if you haven’t yet I would suggest upgrading your main to an AGM battery as they last longer!

I made this specifically for my Gladiator, I’m not sure how the Weanglers are wired…

@ thanks buddy!

Absolutely!! My only concern is VW being the brains of the operation…

Sorry, 1/2” socket… lol

It’s up to the full line, which is where the plastic bottle is molded together!

You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
