- This is not a hard job it's just a little dirty. These steps should apply to any newer Dodge or Chrysler vehicle with a 2.4 engine. If you just want to see the valve cover gasket skip to 11:49.

Thanks buddy....You showed me that I didn't need to remove the belt or the compressor to install the new oil pan...It will save me some and aggravation ....✴
I enjoyed watching your oil pan replacement video! I was really dreading getting it done because they (the shop) wanted $450- to do it and mine is rotting in a spot and needs replaced. To see you did it and have a walk through gives me confidence to relace mine on my own!
Doing your own work will definitely save you money. I'm glad I could help you.
@@Charger383Mopar You Didn’t Mention Any Torque Lbs For Oil Pan Or Head Gasket?
Finally a mechanic who shows his work thoroughly i can listen to this brother all day" love the content brother GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🏾
I can not thank you enough for this video. I changed my spark plugs today and found oil! I panicked a little...well a lot. Google lead to you and I'll be stopping by the parts store this afternoon and changing the gaskets out asap!!
I'm glad I could help you
Nice job man. I'm gonna try to replace my valve cover gasket on my '09 journey 2.4L. Man but I'm nervous. I've done throttle body, thermostat, and brakes. All with youtube videos. But this seems a little next level. Thanks for the video!
It only seems next level because you're opening up the engine. Replacing the valve cover gasket on this motor is very easy. You might have to bump or pry on it a little bit to get it to break loose like I did on mine but it's really not that hard to do.
Did it about an hour thank you for this video You gained a new subscriber
It's an engine not a motor. Motors use electricity and engines mosty use fossil fuels. I appreciate the video,you did a good job explaining things. You saved a lot doing it yourself. Thanks a lot. Dave in Eastern NC
You’re wrong, a motor can be gasoline powered.
Someone wants to sell me the same vehicle but it needs a v.gasket but after watching you I'm sure I can change the gasket....thanks for the video it really helps...
I'm glad I could help.
Thank you. I gotta bad oil leak
You made it look so easy...thx
You are a good man..!!💥
Thank you
Thanks for your video
Can you tell me besides the oil pan and valve cover. Where else can oil leaks happen on the 2.4L dodge avenger happen?
Thanks for the help-----clear video
This was helpful bro thanks
Thank you.
You know I love me some T55!
Thank you!
Thank you , is this the same for the 2009 to 2014.?
I think the newer models use a different part number but the replacement process should be very similar.
Did You Use Any Gasket Seal Paste?
Great video!!
Not sure if you would know or respond, but would you know the most common causes of oil leaks in the avenger? I have a leak and can’t locate the source, but all the oil spilled on the muffler pipe, area.
I would start with the valve cover gasket.
I'm watching this because Scott's Speed Shop.
Thank you for watching
This is way different on my 09 dodge avenger. Maybe cause it's a 3.5L engine but I'd like to know what the torque specs on my valve cover gaskets are? Because mine are leaking.
I appreciate you man
Sorry to ask but do you also need to unscrew the small bolts that are used for the cover piece (the ones that you can screw off by hand)? Or can I just remove the bolts that are obvious to take off?
Was the check engine light on before or after you did that cold air intake project? I've got the 08 model avenger but had reserves on installing that because of the light issue.
It was on when I got the car. It has to do with the intake runner control valve.
Great!!! glad you did edit you mistakes keep.🤟🏿
Good job my friend
Hate to be "that guy" but the jack stands belong back under the frame in a more solid location.; this would also get the car up higher so you don't need to kiss the bottom of the engine. All in all a helpful video...
OMG, thank you. He doesn't have blocks behind the rear tires either. I feel like I'm watching a horror movie.
Anyone know how many bolts hold a transmission filter gasket for a 2009 Dodge Avenger srt
2.4 liter
Great vid
Was there a reason u got a new oil pan? Or is it just better to replace the pan if replacing the gasket?
The old oil pan was actually dented and I didn't like seeing it every time I did my oil change. Unless they are damaged it is not necessary to replace the oil pan when changing the gasket.
3:39 I was thinking that in my head you do NOT have to take off the belt because the bracket only has one compressor bolt going through it to mount
I have a 2013 avenger is it going to be similar to this? The shop wants 600 dollars to do it but I'm not paying that
As long as it's the 2.4 it should be very similar or the same.
Good job!
Hello! help me find front engine mount mount car 2013 dodge avenger sxt 2.4l 6 gears
Any issues with the tightening process noticed you didn't use a torque wrench to tighten bolts back any oil leak issues
If you are worried about the torque on all the bolts I would recommend using a torque wrench. However to answer your question I did not have any issues with leaking.

I'm going to do same way I've been breaking my head finding one and figuring out how to use it man I'm going free style good video 👍
That jackstand on the radiator support?
Yeah that looks sketchy af..
The jack stands were on the frame and were in a safe place.
@@Charger383Mopar I'm gonna investigate under my avenger today but even they are under the frame, you still don't have blocks behind the tires.
@@katielyb did it ever occur to you that I may have had the parking brake set
I just bought a 08 avenger for 1200$ I’m debating flipping it or not, I just did spark plugs (had oil on them so that’s why I’m at this video in the first place I assume it’s my gasket) but I’d it a reliable car? Only 150k miles I already order brakes for it I’m figuring I could just maintain it and keep it as a cheap beater but if it’s not a reliable car I can just flip it as is for like 2400
I've had my Avenger for 5 years now and I'd say it's a very reliable car. Also the 2.4 is very good on gas.
Charger383Mopar well that’s good, I just did my front brakes today and unfortunately my caliper is seized gotta get w new one, while I was down there I noticed oil all over my oil pan but I don’t see any in the engine bay so I figured since I was gonna do an oil change I might as well do the gasket too, I keep seeing these gaskets online with this rtv shit or whatever but I see you just used the gasket? Do I have to use any sealant or can I just put the gasket on and be good?
@@coopersilberling6883 As long as the gasket surface on the engine block and on the pan itself is clean and dry, just using the gasket should be fine.
Charger383Mopar just started doing the valve cover gasket, it will not come off, won’t even budge. Nothing is holding it in don’t know how to get it off
@@coopersilberling6883 you can see that i had issues getting mine off so just keep trying to pull it off and it will eventually come off.
Is it the same for the dodge avenger 2013?
If the part numbers are the same I would think so
I think you only need to take the belt off for the v6 but I'm not positive lol
Where did you purchase the new oil pan and gaskets?
I got them on RockAuto
Don’t use the quark gasket it’ll just leak again in the next year cause quark breaks down and brittles up easier than all the other gasket
Rtv helps to hold gasket in place, felpro gaskets much easier theyre stiffer
What area did you put the sealant on using fel pro?
About an extra $100 adding on cause the “quark” gaskets period are garbage and dude didn’t use any gasket sealer
Thank you
Thank you!
