UNEXPECTED ISSUES installing the BAXTER Oil Filter Adapter into 2015 Jeep Wrangler JKU

- The instructions nor any install videos I had seen online even mention the fuel vapor lines being a problem when installing this Baxter oil filter adapter MS-201-BK on a 3.6L JK. So here is how we handled it! I hope anyone with a 3.6L JK sees this before buying, so they know what they might be getting into.
Further notes from Becca:
I have seen ONE video that the guy was able to push those fuel vapor lines back without them breaking and install this successfully, but even then, I imagine those lines are under a lot of stress and could break with any future oil change. The plastic fuel PCV hose snapped instantly on mine just trying to disconnect it and move it out of the way temporarily to install this. So that plastic on the JKs is very brittle.
This video is NOT sponsored, and I purchased this product with my own money. At the time of my purchase, Northridge4x4 seemed to have the best price. But there are a ton of retailers for the Baxter brand now, so google it before buying to see where you can find it the cheapest.

You could see in the beginning that Becca looked extremely aggravated that it wasn't an easy install, but as usual, you guys knocked it out and made it look good.
Nothing worth doing is easy, so with any luck it’ll be worth it in the end. It’s a pretty slick set up and only took a few extra step to get installed.
I was a tad stressed when that plastic line broke haha. I also didn’t record the part where we dropped a socket down into my alternator bracket and had to fish it out
When the engine is first started after the installation, he should have used "clear flood mode" to crank engine to build oil pressure before engine starts.
Nick is so cool. I wish I was good at engineering things.
Start taking stuff apart. Anything, stuff that you were going to just toss in the trash and try to put it back together. Half of my skills are having confidence in pulling something apart and knowing I can get it back together.
Thanks. I am going to do the same with my 2015.
Was wondering about this thing.
Besides the hoses .do u just unscrew the oem oil filter cap and remove the filter and screw in the Baxter ?
It’s basically that easy, we ran into afew lines that were in the way. Super easy to work around and I’d bet you could have left them, would just make spinning on a new filter a tight squeeze
Yeah basically. It’s super simple. Just gotta tighten everything down correctly and get your air valve positioned in the right place so you can access it for future oil changes. If the hoses were not a problem, it would have been installed in less than an hour with an oil change.
Did the engine cover fit back in with the new filter?
Can’t say we’ve ran the cover in years. I’m not even sure we still have it haha
Love your content.
Any chance we could get the Yeller Fab logo of the golden retriever with the welder as a sticker?
Absolutely! I am hoping to put stickers on my website soon. Would you prefer that logo as a white decal, or an actual sticker with white logo and black background?
@@yellerlife I could go for either one.
@@justinbuehrig3405ok. Well it’s in the works! I think I want to do sticker, so I need to order a few more of my designs in before I list them
I have a 2014, I hope I dont have to cut any lines after I order this filter adapter.
Just be gentle taking the hoses off, but if it does brake it’s an easy fix.
Got one for my 18 JL.. just came in the mail 2 days ago. No to install this weekend
Nice, might want to watch a few peoples install videos and see if you need to relocate anything like we did.
Any update? How’s it work for you?
We were just talking about it yesterday, her Jeep sits for days at a time and hasn’t had any long cranks since the install. Is it because of the filter specifically I can’t say but that’s all that changed recently. At this point I’d say it was worth it.
@@yellerfab do you hear any rattling at startup? The adapter is advertised as being able to eliminate the rattle by providing oil to the top end almost instantly. I installed one of these on my jeep a week ago, and I’ve had mixed things happen since putting it on. Sometimes it eliminates the rattle completely, and other times it doesn’t.
I will try and update everyone after a little bit of time to let you all know if it did cure my dry starts
Your so wrong, my buddies cousins uncle did a ls swap for the cost of a case of busssh and a weekend even has cold ac haha
So... did it work?
@@NITROUSnBIASPLYS haven’t had a dry start since! So I guess so far so good! I should probably make an update video
@yellerlife nice, I'm interested in this product for my 2.7 ecoboost, but haven't seen any real-world results. Just installs. I wish someone had shown the before and after with an oil pressure gauge.
PSA: I just installed this on my Jeep and you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT have to cut the 2 vacuum lines (they're not fuel lines as she misspoke in the video at one point) on the JK 2012-1018 3.6L Pentastar. You can unplug them and gently pry them out of the way while installing the Baxter unit and then installing the filter. Not trying to be rude, but I just want to make people aware. I'm not a fan of chopping stuff on my cars and making something irreversible. The worst part of this install is screwing in the elbow for the schrader valve on the side (all of my 15/16" wrenches wouldn't fit it, so I had to do it with a small crescent wrench). Also make sure you prime the oil system by doing the "clear flood mode" crank. The dry start "chatter" that was barely there on my 2014 JKU is now gone. In my opinion, this mod is well worth it, if nothing else for the better filtration and ease of oil filter change. And no, I'm not affiliated with Baxter, just impressed by this product.
You definitely do need to replace the hoses on some models. My wrangler is just like theirs and the adapter absolutely does not fit with the current PCV hoses. They run directly across where the adapter fits. I have to completely replace the hoses in order to install my adapter.
POS jeep use to be good
Removing it without making a mess will be a problem.
It has a valve for applying compressed air to remove any oil in the system. It's a pretty slick setup and have been strongly considering it.
@krisk1547 that’s why it has the schrader valve that comes with it. Pump a few psi of air in through that for a few seconds and it evacuates all of the oil from the filter. You then unscrew it and you won’t spill a drop.
@@doccameleon7565I agree that it’s a slick setup but how clean is shop air? No risk of blowing debris back in your oil housing?
@@resolutejkuShop air is not sterile, but it is fairly clean. Air tools would not tolerate dirty air. How would the shop air get dirty? Most compressors have an air intake filter. My concern is the usual shop air pressure.
Did you contact Baxter? Your complaining got old quickly
No need to. Product is fine, and Jeep is fine, just needed to add a few extra steps. Made it more user friendly in the end. And you’d be surprised how easy it is to put up with complaining, just post a UA-cam video and wait for some comments haha
@yellerfab zero desire to do so. I'm just saying that I enjoyed your video with the exception of what I mentioned. The one problem was self inflicted. I am really good at doing that myself.
@@scottnugent4791 half the fun is figuring out how to undig the hole you make haha
@@yellerfab 90% of my time is fixing my screw ups. Laughing at myself is therapeutic!
@@scottnugent4791 It’s all part of the game. At this point I look forward to the punishment. As Red Forman would say, “you don’t have bad luck, the reason bad things happen to you is because your a dumba$$”
