My mom has a 2011 Grand Cherokee and I looked this up to make sure there wasn’t anything different I would have to do from an older vehicle. Very informative, thank you!
I haven't even finished the video yet but had to comment. This is quite possibly one of the best and most thorough videos explaining each and every step for basic maintenance which is EXCELLENT. Everything from what to do with the old parts to how and where to jack up the car is perfect. Thanks so much for putting this video together.
I want to thank you for making this video. I'm a 60 yo widower,
Who lives next door to a widowed woman in her 60's who has one of these 2014 jeep.
She, like me is on a fixed income, and can't afford the shops to do this task.
So, I'm going to do it for her and I just wanted to make sure I don't do anything wrong.
Once again, thank you.
This comment just made me smile

Thank you.
Wasn't I glad to see your face when I clicked this video, been watching you're other channel for a while always informative with my research. Wife just purchased 2016 Grand Cherokee, getting ready to do first oil change and wanted to see what I was in for with Jeep. You showed a very simple process in great detail. So happy to see you will be around for this car. Best of luck with this channel.
I finally got a chance to change the oil in my 2015 JGC today. I found your video awhile ago and favorited it so that I could reference it when/if I needed to. I was able to get all the necessary tools before the job (especially the socket for the filter housing). I'm not new to DIY oil, however this was the first oil change for my JGC (first vehicle other than a Honda). I appreciate you taking the time to put this together. It really helped me out.
I just wanted to say, great video. Very thorough yet easily understood. Clear and concise. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite "go to" guys for car repair before I fix something. He's the FordTechMakuloco guy also. do it the way he says to do it. BTW.. you saved me $$$$$ when I had to get the plugs out of my 5.4 3V Ford engine. Thank you so much.
Great video; really good instruction. Many thanks. This is my first Mopar with that cartridge filter. For the 2017 Pacifica, the cartridge filter is on the passenger side of the engine midway to the back on the top of the engine. 24mm socket on ½ drive racket with 6" extension. There's a trap door on the under carriage to access the oil pan drain plug with 12mm bolt head. ⅜ drive ratchet with 13mm socket or 13mm box end wrench. Thumbs up for your vid!
Great job. You gave me the directions and tips I was looking for. I have the same vehicle and would have made a mess if I hadn't watched this first. THUMBS UP!
Great video! Under the Vehicle Info screens, you can easily check the oil health % level and reset there as well by holding the OK button.
Awesome video. I inherited a 2012 jeep grand Cherokee from my grandmother after she passed, and it sat for a couple years before I could get it on the road again, but it’s a great vehicle still. This guide was super helpful and made the oil change easy as pie. My dad did the work of course lol (bc I’m a millennial and i work with computers for a living) but this video cleared up the questions he had about the Jeep, so thanks for your work!
I own a 2012 too, little to no problems with it. Get all the recalls done though.
BSG thanks for showing how its done, easy to follow. Getting ready to change oil first time on 15 grand cherokee 3.6 114k miles, had 1 week now and have 6 qts pennzoil high mile ultra plat 5w-30, in summer where average high 90 then back to 5w20 for the cooler months. Don't have a mopar oil filter but have a a-c delco, should be good 3 to 5k miles.
The quality of your work is second to none!
Thanks!
Excellent video. Very informative but I have to tell you I have never seen anyone tighten down an oil filter so much. I was just waiting to hear that plastic filter cover crack.
My heart dropped when I heard that! Thought for sure that was going to snap!
OMG I also cannot believe he tighten that cover so much.
Hard to watch!
I was thinking the same thing.. just a little too snug for me.. I'll continue doing it the way I've done for years with no leaks or problems..
Yeah, I do half that, or less.
thanks for a nice video just wanted to make sure there was nothing i would miss for my first oil change.
Dude, Great freakin video. Covers all the bases. I will subscribe now.
First time doing my oil change on my 2014 Laredo helped me out a lot
Very well made video. Excellent job and thanks for easy instructions.
Great video. Perfect actually. I just finished warranty and plan to do mine in a week...first vehicle I've had with a filter like this, much better using a socket than the damn filter wrenches!
Thanks for the helpful info and tips.
I found it easier to turn the wheels to the left and slide between the wheel and the passenger door to access the pan.
I hate jacking up the vehicle.
Great video! Thanks for the thorough walk-through!
great video, I have done hundreds of oil changes on GM's, this is my 1st Jeep. Good to know what I'm dealing with before I start.
Great video , will be very helpful when I service my Jeep Grand Cherokee for the first time. Would you happen to have a video on changing the EGR on the same vehicle?
BSG You sir earned my sub! Great Instructions
hello...please could you make a video doing a spark plug change on a jeep grand Cherokee 2014 limited.....thnks
Brian thanks for all the great info. If you run into replacing a fuel filler housing on a Grand Cherokee please share. Keep up the great vids. 👍
Great Video, Great Information.... Thanks
I am a Ford 2 valve , 3 valve, & 3.8 v6 owner so the Jeep era is new to me due to my gf car lol
I appreciate your videos as always, just subscribed to this channel as well! Greetings & cheers!
I like using my Mityvac 7201 for oil and trans oil changes. Clean and easy, no mess. Gets as much out if not more oil then draining.
Thank you! Very clear, concise and helpful! 10/10.
Great video. One tip, if you don't open want that rush of oil to splash all over the place when you first take the drain plug off DO NOT open the filter housing or oil fill plug before taking off the drain plug. After you open the drain plug then open the fill plug and housing. Also Mobile 1 full syn FTW.
Amsoil
well done sir. you have a fan in me
Great video. Couldn't figure the new filter before seeing this video.
Very helpful, thanks for the tutorial.
If you scroll through the dash display to show the oil life you can see it change to 100% when you pump the gas pedal.
Informative and precise. Thank you
thank you Brian very very helpful video!
Can you do a video how to use the right power steering hydraulic fluid?
job well done i will be changing mine tomorrow.
Saludos desde México,cuántos litros de aceite lleva el motor 3.6 pentastar v6. ? Gracias
BSG for life! Love the vids man. You provide a valuable service to consumers.
i have a question? or wondering if you could do a video on replacing spark plugs on a 2013 jeep g cherokee.. i will need my plugs replaced soon and i will like to know exactly where they are located before i put hands on it.. thanks
Mister, can't thank you enough! This video put me ahead on my oil change this morning. Thank You!
Great video. Just a quick note: you can scroll through the menu on the dashboard after you reset the oil life monitor to get to the oil life screen. When I get down to 33% oil life, that when I change my oil. I use ramps instead of jacks just because I feel safer that way, but jacks are fine. I've been using Penzoil full synthetic and with the filter it costs less than $40. An oil change place would charge $100+ and try to upsell me everything in the book. And forget about what the dealer would charge.
my only comment is that instead of letting the engine drain for 5 minutes you can also use some of the new oil to fully drain all the old gunk out. i normally use 6 3/4 quarts in my ram with 1/4 qt of lucas oil additive. the 1/4 of oil is what i use to assist in the draining. seems uncommon but i find my vehicles always run very smooth and i like to see the plug hole drip clean oil vs dirty gunk before its plugged.
Thats nice video what about transmission oil change on a 2012 jeep Cherokee do uhave a video for this service thank
Frank Madrid No video for that sorry.
I was hoping you would give some info on what would happen if the small o ring at the tip was missing, what effect would it have on the engine? I think you may have tightened that hosing a little to tight!!
Great video!
thanks for the vid! just bought my 2014 jeep grand cherokee limited 4x4!
Congrats they are great vehicles almost 30k on ours and it has been great!
I have a 14 as all. I'm on my 6th JGC. They've never done me wrong. I'm loving it so far. Night and day over my 04 overland.
excellent video!
Helpful! I put a fumitomo valve on ... will make future changes easier and less messy lol
This is my “go to” video as I prep to change the oil/filter on my 2015 GC Limited. Thanks for making this available!
Thanks for the video. I like the details and the idea of removing the whole engine cover not just the filter cover. My question: how many liters should I add?
6qts in the pentastar 3.6
Excellent instructional video,Never knew about the oil change reset.
First time changing mine today. I heard that noise and thought I may have tightened it to much.
Thank you . Good video. Good tips.
From what have seen on other videos and my own car is the 11-13 have the solid bolt design on the oil filter housing cap and the 14+ has the 6 spoke hollow bolt design on the oil filter housing cap and use the updated filter with the nipple at the bottom?
Great video real helpful thanks..... Hey Brian would you happen to know where the oil pressure sensor is located on a 2012 jeep grand cherokee?
Mirna Perez Under the intake in the rear, intake must be removed.
FINALLY.. a person that wrenches with care. My brother. I would bring you my car. And that's coming from a person that hasnt gone to a mechanic since I was 16, except for tire changes and one A/C recycle (to do my own compressor change). Thanks for the thorough tips amigo.
Love the video
My owner’s manual and engine oil cap both say 5w-30.
Nice Video, I have changed a lot of oil but not with the new type of filter that is also on my Jeep Wrangler. And learned some good tips from you here,
My question is what is the reason behind leaving the dip stick out when first starting the engine? Must be something with air but if you would explain many thanks.
No reason it was just out already for the draining process.
Very helpful. thank you!
i have a 2014 grand jeep only 19000 miles i like to use mobile 1 syn and there oil filter what do you think, oem says use mopar oil,,,i like ur video
I have a 2013 GC overland with the powered liftgate.
How can I open the liftgate manually in case if there is a problem and the liftgate cannot be opened by remote and by the handle and I want to replace the electric lifter or the air strut?
Could you please make a video showing that because there is no video on the entire internet showing that till this moment.
great video...I needed to know how to reset the computer. my truck takes four brake pedals. that did not work so after watching this is know I was way off lol. thanks!
Just got 14 JGC at 80k can I go full synthetic??
can you use the oil filter hole to replace the 6 quarts of oil? It''s a lot easier to get to and the holes bigger.
Where did you get that jack adapter??
good morning I am sarmad from iraq and the outside temperature about 50 centigrade and I have jeep grand cherokee model 2016 can you help me to choose right oil viscosity
Great video! Just a suggestion, but a 1/2 6 point is actually a little bit more snug on the drain plug. Or at least on the 2015 Grand Cherokee Laredo oil that I changed.
Yep, I tried a 6pt 13mm and it had a little wiggle. Used a 12pt 1/2 in socket (all I had) and it was more snug than the 13mm
Liked it very much!
Thank you for sharing.
Does the drain plug need a new gasket. I never put a new one on and don’t recollect there being one. I never got leaks.
Mine has 73,873 how much or change the oil thanks
Hello
can I talk to you I need some explanation
Oil containers are designed for pulse pour if you actually pour it with the spout at the top, not like you have it at 11:53 mark! :)
If i do not have a jack, would I still be okay if I propped it up on ramps?
I have the overland with air ride and wondering by raising the height all the way up if that’s enough room for oil change?
6qts instead of 5 like my old JGC...what a pain! I hate spending $7 on the separate quart bottle. Buying a 5qt jug and calling it a day was nice. This style oil filter sure was nice. Thanks for the video!
Mark B I buy two 5qt jugs then pour off one qt extra for the fill. Then I have extra oil for future changes. The oil companies make enough profit and charge ridiculous for a single quart...sheesh. 😏
@@ZathrusGizmo123 Thanks. Could be a dumb question, but does oil go bad after sitting that long after opened? The last qt of the 5qt jug will be years old by the time it's used up.
I use a 5 Gallon kerosene can.You can get them in some auto parts stores you don't have to take right away to the recycle center after an oil change.Plus they have a handle on the top to make them easy to carry.BTW,you can tell Jeep is a Chrysler Product by that starter sound.But I hear Chrysler starters are better than most,but that's a rumor.
Perfect! Thanks.
What are your thoughts on adding an Oil Stabilizer (Lucas) to higher mileage engines?
At 6:46, you can let it drain longer, but consider also that if it is a windy day, then that wisp of oil may also blow all over the driveway regardless of how carefully you cave positioned the drain pan. Tradeoffs with any decision.
I've read somewhere about faulty filter housings that crack and cost a lot of money to repair. What year of Jeeps have this problem with the 3.6? I have a new to me 2013 Grand Cherokee.
Great video , explained everything to a T. I do have a question about the drain plug. I've done many oil changes on different vehicles, but my 2014 JGC is the first one were there was no drain plug washer. Is this OK ? Thanks
My 14 came with a drain plug washer but I lost it in one of my changes and never replaced it, never had leaks
I have 2014 limited jgc i dont remember having a washer.
So i just got a 2016 model and the air intake seems to have a different design. The tube kinda goes over the oil filter and I was wondering if you knew about any changes from the 2016 model to the one on this video?
The way i know its different it's because I tried looking for a K&N air intake and they only have up till the 2015s models and none for the 2016s.
Good video
Thanks for the great instructional! Just got a "16 Grand Cherokee with the 5.7L V8 Hemi. Any big differences in the oil change procedure that you're aware of? Would like to transition to full synthetic. What mileage do you feel that's appropriate. Thanks for the help!
+beaglestink I wouldn't transition until at least 10k miles.
Great how to. Thx!
Thank you!
I have 96,000 mines on my 2014 what oil do i use and should I use 5w20 or 10w30?
If you live near Brian in the Chicagoland IL. area you should give him a call for your automotive needs. He is an awesome mechanic. I have been a fan of his for a few years. His UA-cam videos have helped me tremendously on my 2004 Ford Explorer. I just wish he lived near me in the Long Island, NY area.
Great vid thanks. Would my 15 GC be the same as this GC? Also I have 40k on it and am thinking of going to the Penzoil platinum full synthetic. I tow a boat quite a bit over the summer and people seem to think full synthetic is the way to go. Also they say you can go about 10k on a oil change, just watch the oil monitor system. Thoughts?
Full synthetic all the way. Chrysler reccomendations are shell helix, castrol, or pennzoil. Pennzoil has had a bad rep with using waxes in there oils but think they strayed away with there newer formulas. Mobil 1 isnt "chrysler certified" because of a pissing contest with all the buyouts even though jeeps were factory filled with mobil 1. I fill with mobil 1 and use either a wix or mobil 1 filter. Use a good oil filter wix, mobil 1, mopar, k&n etc. dont use cheap filters..fram etc..doesnt last as long, isnt as good construction, sometimes even breaks apart and doesnt filter well. People change synthetic oil based on owners manual or preference which range from 5k-20k miles. Hope this somewhat breaks it down. Alot of information out there but as long as you change your oil timely and filter youll be fine.
When do you recommend putting synthetic in for the first time? @fordtechmakuloco
So how much does it cost to do it at home?
Great video, I have a 2016 jeep Cherokee trailhawk just a silly question how much oil did you put in the car? 3cases of oil is k right or more?
EDDIE LOPEZ The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee takes just under 6 quarts
good job..i have a jeep cherokee 2011...i will sub....thanks
Thank you, doing my first oil change at 5k today!
Cool. Thanks!
