Great father/son time! Too many young men growing up without these $ saving skills.
thanks!. agreed
Omg! Thank you today will be my very first time doing an oil change and filter change on a 2013 jeep grand Cherokee, and out of all the videos ive watched yours was factasic!!!!!! I actually understood all of every thing you explained
appreciate that. just showing what i do myself. no magic here :)
Nice job! Thanks for covering the socket sizes at the beginning! My first Jeep GC oil change...went super smooth... thanks again
Awesome. Thanks for feedback 👍
Very informational. Had no idea the pressure had to be relieved. Thank you.
👊👍
Dzienkuje serdecznje za pomoc z mojim Jeepem Panu Lechu. Moj ojciec tak samo na mojim starszym samochodzie nauczył wiele dobrych uczynków. Tym razem sam dałem rade ale też dzienki twojego videa💪🙏🥇❤
Niema sprawy, dzieki !!
Thank you. The filter is so easily accessible, I will have to start doing this myself. I am especially appreciative of the instruction on how to reset the oil change alert.
Your son did a great job, too. Reward him with some dark or robust maple syrup. If he thinks the fresh oil is the color of maple syrup, he needs to try the good stuff!
Haha thanks. Will do 👊
My 2018 was 0W20. Great video, thanks guys!
thanks!. thanks for sharing about your model :)
Great video mate, straight to the point and everything you need to know. I appreciate your work
appreciate it.
The location of the oil filter just made me want the jeep more. Thanks for the video.
ha. agree
@@RussLinton yeah. one time i got my other car back from dealer. they left my air intake tube disconnected from the manifold. just crazy.
Great informational vid! Going to do my wife’s jeep myself thanks to you. Tell your son good camera shots too 🤙🏼
will do. thank you!
Very nicely done.. Great help on the reset also.
Thanks, yeah the reset is something no one would ever know for any car. probably dealer secret to get our $$ :)
Thanks brother today was the first time ever doing an oil change and big thanks to you
Awesome. Glad to help bro!
Great video. Very well done. Clear and informative.
I don't even have a jeep but I sure as hell appreciate the video. I'm looking forward to getting one and this is future help.
Awesome. Thanks!
Thank you sir. I just did mine by watching your video.
👊👍
Great video! Thanks for your help.
👊👍
great job little man lol "orange juice maple syrup" simple and easy to understand, non of that technical terminology others use only mechanics could understand, never new about the filter above the engine much easier and faster than my prior vehicles I was about to take my wife's jeep to a shop for oil change I'm glad I watched this video I did it myself in no time 👍👍👍
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate you. 👍. Have fun.
Thank you this was great I actually change my oil as watching your video everything went as you said.
Nice. Glad to help 👍
Thank u soo much for sharing..I’m gonna be doing my own oil change for now on
Nice. 👍Have fun. ps. I posted an updated shorter video if ever need for reference : ua-cam.com/video/ZyenHAJXYhc/v-deo.html
Good video. Thank you. Just changed oil myself. Spent $30 on filter & oil. Jiffy Lube wanted $115.
Thx again!
Omg 115 , pure robbery. Nice u got it done 👍
Fantastic Job!
Thank you!
👊
Great video👌 going to do it soon for my sis Jeep
👊👍
Appreciate you for this video 🙏🏽
Yup 👊👍
Thanx now I can do it myself much appreciated it
Enjoy!👍
good job man ..
👍
Thanks my man! Appreciate it.
👊
Thanks for the instructions, now I can change my own oil and save.
nice. enjoy the project. also link in bio for new shorter version of this :)
Good job! Just bought my sons who is now stationed overseas. One bit of advice, always rub a thin coat of new oil around any o-rings or seals before installing a new filter. That makes for a better seal and prevents damaging a dry seal when tightening.
Yes 100%. Thought I showed that.
Great video !
👍
Good video, but a word of caution, be very careful not to overtighten the oil filter. It screws into a plastic oil cooler assembly which is mounted on top of the motor. Overtightening can cause the plastic oil cooler assembly to crack and that creates an oil leak. The cost to replace the oil cooler assembly runs $800-$1,000 at the dealer. This piece was redesigned starting with all 14 models with the 3.6 and the 3.2 and most of the ones on 14 models will fail on their on. I've already had to replace two oil cooler assemblies on my 14 Wrangler and my wife's 14 Cherokee. There are also torque specs for the oil filter.
Good point. Thanks for sharing
Be careful not to under tighten the filter… if that thing comes lose you’ll have a real problem
Great video. Thanks.
👍👊
Nice job! Thanks.
👊👍
Appreciate it bro your the best
Thanks 👊👍

Very helpful thanks!
👍
Thanks for the video.
Ofcourse 👊
Nice job!
Thanks 👊
Great video. Thanks.
Especially impressive is convincing a teenager to stay still without video games
👍. Thanks
Grean Video But Your Son Made It that much better i watched my dad and uncles fix cars for years but they never taught me anything thats why im looking at this video now 😂😂
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to help 👍
Good job
👊👍
Good job on the video. Very helpful. While changing the oil on my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee I found a bunch of shredded foam insulation on top the engine behind the fill nozzle. I have no idea where it could have come from. Looks like a mouse nest.
Mouse or chipmunks, thats my guess. If car sat for a little while they like to make a nests in engine bays for some reason lol. Had that happen to my Dodge Charger. Hope no major damage.
Very Good. Think I'll do the oil change on the wife's Jeep tomorrow.
👍
Thanks bud !!!
👍
Did you put your filter all the way back in? DId I miss it? Great video man. Simple and straight to th epoint. Thanks!
yes at about the 4:15 mark. snap back into the cap.
I believe they came with synthetic from the factory..specifically Pennzoil Platimum. Depends on year for weight. 2011 it was 5w-30, the new ones are 0W-20. I just know each year of the pentastar V6 they changed the oil weight, perhaps based on design changes.
👍
Believe my 12 laredo is 5w-30 also
Thank you good video
Thanks
Thanks mate, great video. FYI the procedure is the exactly the same same for right hand drive vehicles. One thing though, the filter is slightly different in my 2012 model. No extended bit at one end with the O-ring, so that filter wont fit the earlier (pre facelift) models. Cheers
thanks for the feedback, good to know. and i noticed on the filter it says its only for 2014 models or newer. so yeah, the filters differ. made a new quicker video too, will post soon.
Just want to say thank you
👊👊👍👍
Thank you for video. Can you explain why did you put new one filter in old oil, is it right? Never did it, just trying to understand.
Just to lubricate. All new oil inside
Sweet ! Thanks brother ! You helped me out a lot ! Im not taking my Overland to the shop anymore for oil changes. Saves a good amount of $$$ ! PS - where did you get that tee shirt ?
Ha nice. It’s Rothco athletic fit shirts.
I’m a dealer for the brand. Might have to put them up for sale in my Etsy shop 👊
Great video. Best to torque the plastic filter cap to 18 ft-lbs. Over-torquing might crack it.
great point. thanks for sharing.
I can't believe the reset works that way, but great video btw.
😉👍
Thanks Lech...our mobile onsite oil change guy is not available. We want to take off on a trip on Monday and just made that decision yesterday. Need to change the oil but I did not want to mess with the oil filter. Why? Because I did not realize the oil filter was on the top of the engine. I used to always change all of our vehicles but this one...long story...but I stopped a couple of years ago because I hated messing with the oil filter...this is so much simpler. You have saved me money.
Ahh. Nice, glad to help 👊
@@HowToWithLech QUick update. I did change the oil last night on the 2016. We have the 2016 GC 75th Anniversary Edition. Not sure it is any different. The engine cover on our 2016 has a screw under the center cover which pops off of the main engine cover. It is both a hex bolt and has a star screw. Easy to remove and then only a couple rear snap locations. In this video it had 5 snap locations. All other aspects were identical. It made it so easy not messing with a filter under the Jeep...plus the filter drains off inside the cannister...so was very little mess when taking it out.
Alex is a pretty good camera man
Agreed. Thanks Andy!
I was lost when they handed my the paper oil filter. Thanks for the info!
Yeah. First car I had with that style too
Hello great video. So i just got a 2017 grand cherokee overland a couple months ago oil percentage on the dashboard is 21% now. Is it a good time now to change it??
Yeah. I would change soon when % getting that low if you got the time. Also also definitely if it was never changed since you got it. I never trust what was done before me. First thing I do when getting car check/change oil.
Thanks!
👍
Watch video to prepare to change my sister's 2018 Jeep. One tip you should coat a little oil on the oil filter caps O ring.
Yup. Good point 👍
Thank you
👍
I really like your video and own an WK2 2014, This video is missing a few details like the brake video I started with no worries. The engine should be at a moderate temperature before draining the oil. The oil should be left to drain completely. With the brake video like the oil pan every bolt you remove has a torq specification inch or foot pounds including any aluminum rim. Keep up the great work..I really enjoyed your video's.
Thank you. Great tips! Actually made a new one with little more detail 👍
Thank you. Gonna take care of my mom's car, and this was very helpful. One question. Description says 13mm, but the oil drain plug took a 16. Difference between cars?
i think u use a 15 or 16mm cuz a 13 can strip the oil drain plug bolt
@@kimreyes7783 that doesn't make sense.
👍
How do I install led lights on a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 3.6l
hi. you mean LED headlights?
Can You Do One Flushing The Engine Coolant 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
i can try in near future. haven't had need for that. let me look into it.
Is liquimoly 5w20 the best engine oil for this engine
Not sure if the best but what the car shows to use. Different weather areas can probably adjust to meet best performance
What’s that like piece called that connects to the 15/16s?
its just a converter 3/8 to 1/2", to connect the 3/8" ratchet to the 1/2" socket i was using.
One trick I learn from my old Mercedes is pour the oil on the hole where the filter is while it's out. Bigger hole and goes in faster.
True 👍
I’m pretty small. Has anyone done this without jacking the front end of the car? Or does the jack serve as a win win? I was thinking the oil would drain better with the slight angle. Just some noob questions. Lol
Actually very good question. Car is pretty high. You should be able to do it without lifting it. But when I lift it I do lower it to make sure drains better. Give it some time to drain. Angle might help too 👊
@@HowToWithLech thank you! Just drove across the country so I don’t have much right now. But I’ll have to give it a shot !
Can you do a video on changing low beams ? Do you have HID’s or LED’s in your jeep ?
I don’t , but might have to do it. I’ll check on what’s available
@@HowToWithLech Dzieki ! I found a bunch of videos on other channels ..on changing low beams…but most are not helpful
@@JimmyS1981 aha. yeah, i have to make a soon to do for me.
Can you add for synthetic oil or not
erick Hinojosa sure. Just have to pick the right one
I've had a Jack fail on me. Scared the crap out of me. Make sure to use jack stands.
100%
Was the 5w20 u used full synthetic or non synthetic?
It wasn’t here. It always better too tho. recently i did use full.
What did you do with the old oil
Put it back in the oil jug/storage and bring to local auto store like Autozone. Can recycle it there for free
Does it not call for full or even a synthetic blend oil?
No. But always good to. Recently I did synthetic
Good job! Next time throw a jack stand under that thing in case that jack fails. Unfortunately I wouldn’t put Pennzoil in anything. Mobile 1 or Amsoil is my preference.
Yes , jack stands used 👍
John he did have a jack stand under it and even mentioned it,. Next time you should actually watch the video before criticizing it..
Do you find you find % oil life indicator reliable?
Doesn't seem like it takes time into account (if car sits for a while).
Timur Shakya never really tested it to that extent as use car daily. . Still look how many miles drove though. But if car sits for long time probably goood to change .
How To with Lech Definitely does not seem that it takes time into account
It has nothing to do with time it uses mileage only.
Какой километраж между заменой масла?
👊
good job, however, car should be level, so all oil drains, lower from jack stand.
Yes, thats correct. Sorry if didnt show that.
My 2013 overland won't play my music via Bluetooth
🙃
Put a breaker bar to tighten the filter next time … it’s a plastic housing that easily cracks if overtorqued
All good. Just have the right touch 👊
Nice shirt
Thanks 👍. Rothco
"Apple Juice" "...It's good for the car"
haha. you know it
Royal purple
Great choice
Where is Jack stand?
It’s used. No worries. But a good reminder to all if I didn’t mention 👊
🇺🇸
👊
On my 2014 I have to hit the gas pedal 5 times. informative for anyone driving #2014
This is a 14 too. If it worked nice 👊
I also have 2014. Thanks for posting.
Only thing I would show or say is to make sure you completely drain the oil dont interrupt it.
👍
👍👍
👊
The son is right, the new engine oil does look like Apple juice, it’s oil after all
lol yup
Good video maybe let the oil stop draining before reinstalling the drain plug.
Yup👊
I would never blindly dump in 6 quarts of oil after a change and not check the dipstick. Always check the dipstick after changing your oil. Just my two cents.
👍 agreed . Normally I’ll leave a quart out . Run engine for a min. before topping off.
I have an overland so all I had to do was raise the Jeep to off-road 2 and crawl under it lol
👍
Wow did you really put that plug back in before all the oil was drained out that was still draining quite a bit I've done all changes on quite a few vehicles in my time and if it still drain that much there still a good bit of oil that is old left in there , I don't agree with that at all!!!!! If you are watching this video to learn how to change your oil please do not do that with your own vehicle allow it to completely drain out to where it is Flowing no longer!
I'm with you...I let the oil drain until it's just dripping. There are other things you can do while your waiting. Top off the washer fluid, antifreeze, check the belt, check the power steering fluid, check or replace the air filter.
I just watched this to make sure I had the correct sized socket and that’s the only (yet pretty critical) thing he did wrong. Dude... there’s still a toddler sized pee stream of oil coming out. Just give it 5-10 more minutes.
👍
Thank you very much mate
Much appreciated
Save me nearly $300 Aus
Stay safe
from Melbourne Aus 🖤💛❤️✊
Wow nice. 👊
Dies the car need to run bfore the procedure is done
Yes good to have the oil warm. Drains out better. But let car cool down a little first so you don’t burn yourself.
It calls for 0-20 weight. For a 2018 anyway
👍
