Thanks man! I saved lots of money because of you
Glad to hear it! More Jeep videos coming soon!
Good times right there! Thank you sir!
Cheers!
This was a very good video
Great Job.
Hello, your video is very nice, thank you for everything. I bought the same model car today, there is oil on the engine and in the crankcase, I wonder why this happens?
These jeeps like to leak. Could be a bad valve cover gasket or could be the sump gasket. My oil pan gasket started leaking at 80k
6:15 I learned recently that engine will not start if you hold gas pedal ALL THE WAY to floor. This is "clear flooded engine" procedure. Point is, you don't need to fill filter with oil, if you run starter for 10 seconds without starting engine. I read a debate and plenty of professional mechanics claimed they never prefill filter, for risk of adding contamination to the "clean oil" side (center hole).
Interesting. Thanks, Chet. I grew up learning to pre-fill oil filters but it wouldn't surprise me if technology is starting to reduce those old-timer tricks. Cheers.
@@learnsavediy What I've been reading is that the contaminants could be inside the new oil bottle. That if prefilling you should pour it into the outer small holes and not the center hole.
😊
Flooded engine procedure for a carburated engine maybe.
Off topic but what watch are you wearing? Its a nice looking time piece. Great video by the way it was very helpful in my case
SEIKO V158-0AB0. It was a gift from my grandfather when I finished high school and I've worn it ever since. Nothing fancy but I love it!
@@learnsavediy thank you for the reply & providing the model. That story behind it makes it priceless!
The drain bolt on my 5.7 Overland won't budge even though I sprayed almost half the bottle of WD-40 onto it, do you think it could be overtightened by an air-wrench? Recently got the car so not sure how the service was done last time...
Definitely! Especially if it was taken to a quick lube shop. They are NOTORIOUS for tightening these bolts. Have you tried a breaker bar? Might need more ugga duggas if that doesn’t work for ya
Definitely try a breaker bar. The comment by Chaz is spot on!
@SofaKingCool great point. Penetrating fluid works better than WD-40 but can help slightly. I believe Project Farm did a video on removing seized bolts with different fluids. Cheers!
WD-40 is not a penetrating oil, it is a water displacement product.
I watched this video because I cannot get the oil plug off my wife’s 2011 grand Cherokee for nothing I don’t want to break the plastic pan but I’ve even tried an impact drill any suggestions?
Have you tried some sort of penetrating fluid and letting it sit on the threads and spraying it a few times? Might need more leverage like a stronger impact or longer breaker bar/ratchet.
I have never seen adding oil to a filter or draining filter after oil bolt is reinstalled. Is this something you do on all vehicles, or is it something exclusive to the wk2?
This is something I always do on every vehicle. The filter is essential to the longevity of the oil and therefore the engine so I replace mine at every oil change. I fill it with oil before reinstallation so the engine doesn't run dry when you first start it up.
@@learnsavediy if filling the filter, isn't that oil then unfiltered? Possibility of a small piece of plastic or dirt getting inside engine?
@@mobleyMobley I see your point. That small amount would be unfiltered right away and any debris in that amount could get inside. However, a dry start (in my opinion) is just a problematic and avoidable by pre-filling the filter (if possible). Totally up to you if you would like to fill or not fill the filter beforehand. Good point regardless!
@@learnsavediy is this your wk2? Have 2 hemis. 05 with 189k and 14 with 130k. Crazy how powerful those engines remain after so many miles. They both run and sound really good. Been very happy with these 5.7 engines. However, 2 transismission failures on the 05'
@@mobleyMobley Yes this is. I just recently got it about a year ago and have enjoyed its power! I will say owning a Jeep has not been the cheapest investment ;) Regardless, it has served my family well so far.
And what if it won't just turn off? I have a circle oil filter remove tool but between the hoses, fan and that dumb ass metal thing it won't tighten enough
You’re saying (1) you can’t remove the old filter or (2) you’ve put a new one on and it’s still leaking/you can’t tighten it enough?
The drain plug on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee was 13mm, not 16mm.
3.6 or 5.7?
Hmmm, I have a 2020 Overland and I do not have a key like you do. I just have a flob, and the push button.
You can take your foot of the brake and push the push button twice. This should turn on the car without turning it over. Then press the pedal 3 times.
You used a Ford oil filter for your jeep?
It's the correct filter to use, because he installed FORD oil. Just kidding. A filter is a filter. There are only a few manufacturing plants that make all the filters.
A drain plug should never need a breaker bar
Should is the key word however sometimes, especially if they’ve been serviced by someone else, they might have been put on with an impact gun. Just be ready for anything!
Initially you had some sort of an oil leak on the oil pan!
Unfortunately, yes :(
@@learnsavediy I have the same issue currently on my 2015 GC with the Hemi
@@ahmedhishamdr8485 Where is your leak coming from?
@@ahmedhishamdr8485 Got the same thing on my 2011 WK2
Filter is impossible to remove by hand. Why? Cause jackasses who built these added a retarded metal protector around the filter so there's no way to grab it and twist. Smh. Just bought this a month ago and trading it in very soon. First Jeep, definitely my last. 10/10 has transmission issues. You had your filter loose already. 😂😂😂😂
Yeah I don’t like the design. I’ve been doing my own oil changes since getting it but I do remember the first time having to use a filter wrench to get the sucker off. It’s called a GRAND Cherokee for a reason 😂 prepare to shell out!
