Another great example of an auto tutorial. Many thanks on helping make the job go smoothly.
Looks like my 2017 Caravan 3.6 has this problem, looks like a milkshake in the radiator and overflow bottle. Took it to the dealer, and they did say it was a bad cooler. Was hoping it would be warranty work, but unfortunately it's not (salvage title car). Know the cooler has to be replaced, but they also wanted to replace the radiator, overflow bottle, thermostat, hoses, etc. Said they were "contaminated". Will a proper flush after the cooler is replaced be sufficient or should all of these things be replaced too?
Love your vids, very thorough and informative! Thanks.
I recommend repairing the the cause....replacing the cooler. Then flush the coolant multiple times. It might take 3-4 times until it clears up. I dont see any reason to replace anything else at this time. I understand them being overly cautious but I think you will be fine. Wish there was a good cleaner you could run thru it to help get that mess out....I just dont know whats out there other then doing the flushes as mentioned. Thanks for the kind words about the videos and make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
Very well done. I just did this for my 2019 charger. Things I learned. DO NOT skip the coolant drain. Let the car sit over night to let the oil settle back into the pan. I had two major issues, my hose clamp snapped in two and i had to order a replacement. I had tons of coolant over the block. My bad for not lowering the amount of coolant in the system. The oil Cooler I received had the incorrect oil pressure sensor. I had to swap the two, to get it correct. I highly recommend you double check this before installing, and if you need a replacement get a NEW OEM. I reused mine but wished I had checked prior, so i could get the correct one. Takes less then 2 hours to do. I also replaced my plenums with ported/polished new ones. That makes the rest of the work interesting with removal of Fuel injectors. Thought it would be smart to do it all at once.
What happens if you don't drain the coolant? And can it be reused?
Can you replace the oil filter housing on a 2011 with the newer style filter housing? I have a broken tower in the housing, the bypass valve is okay but the tower itself broke at the bottom. I see the new ones use a different filter with its own valve.
Evening Matt. To answer the question.....yes you can. The issue that comes up is someone trying to install the wrong oil filter. They will get a filter based on the year and not know its wrong and still try to install it. So you will have to educate them on what it really takes but yes it can. Thanks for the question Matt and make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
Awsome video. I'm about to do this on a 2015 jeep jku. One question, is it the same torque specs?
Thanks. The specs will be the same, just take your time and you shouldnt have any issues. Make sure to subscribe.
The part with the o-ring won't slide all the way down into the opening. How do I get it to go down in the hole. Everything else fits normal but I can't tighten down the assembly because of that part of it. I have a 2013 charger SE.
Me sirvió mucho y eso que no hablo inglés.
I have a question i have a 2013 dodge challenger v6 and i replaced my oil cooler twice and the other one only lasted 2 months i wanna ask you if this problem is in all dodge cars because i heard that this problem is from the factory and all v6 has the same issue
We see different causes for replacement....on that year model it could be leaking or the bypass valve tower comes loose. 2014 was the most common for leaking.....it was redesigned in 2014 and thats when it really started leaking. For the most part not many issues from 2015 and up. They have revised the part multiple times and you might have had an older version that was installed the first time. Personally I havent replaced one twice as of yet. Its not car specific.....its more year specific. its the same cooler installed in all the vehicles with that engine for that year. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe
MotorCity Mechanic im facing a big issue with replacing this oil cooling part i replaced it once and it only laster for two months idk what is the problem exactly put just to let you know i live in saudi arabia and the weather here is crazy hot so dose that means the problems are coming from the weather ? If not can you please give me an idea on what to do because i really got tired from replacing it
Where did u get that part from ? I see they don’t have it at autozone or anywhere I checked
I seem to be having this issue on my wifes 2014 Durango, is this issue covered under a recall or just the warranty? What is the part number for this part in case I need to go buy it and replace it myself?
Its very common on the 2014 models. There is no recall and warranty depends on mileage. I can check if you like but you would have to email me the VIN, mileage, and owners last name. As far as the part number. I recommend contacting your locval dealership to verify but the part number I find is: 68105583AA
My car has been running hot and I see the fluid right in the middle where the housing sits is the oil filter housing causing my car to run hot
If you have a coolant leak then you can eventually start running hot is you lose enough coolant and air gets into the system. the only cause for the coolant to be in that area is a failed cooler assembly. I recommend having the oil filter assembly replaced once it has been verified.
Did you figure out the problem
Is the coolant a dealer only item or can I get it at a parts store
Parts stores like to sell the one coolant fixes all vehicles which I dont agree with. The dealer will have it for sure and you can even search online to see if anyone else sells it for less
How do you take the oil pan of on these rwd version
It depends from car to car and if it is 2wd, 4wd, or Awd. I did a series of videos on replacing the oil pump on the FWD vehicles but not the RWD yet. Feel free to watch either series on the by the book or the short cut to see some of the items you might need to look out for when doing it on a RWD. ua-cam.com/video/swvAVBvpPUk/v-deo.html
Where are u located I need you asap for my Chrysler 300 2014

@@MotorCityMechanic dam I'm all the way n jersey
Just followed your guide to do this job myself with no experience whatsoever in working on cars. Thanks for the detailed review and great photo angles. Saved me about $700 doing it myself.
That’s awesome! Just let’s you know that you are mechanically inclined and all you need is some guidance/direction. Many thanks for the comment and for watching
That's what I paid 🤦
I SUPER appreciate the video, but I have a couple of questions:
1. Do you have to drain the oil before doing this?
2. What model of needle nose pliers are you using/recommend for this?
3. When draining the antifreeze, is it going to drain the entire capacity (lines and reservoir) or only the amount held in the lines?
Thanks in advance and excellent quality video!
I drain the coolant when doing the repair. Depending on the mileage it could be the perfect time for the coolant to be changed out. Its just the method I use so that I dont have to deal with any coolant coming out the cooler when I remove it. As far as needle nose pliers.....I use no specific brand. To be honest they most likely came from Harbor Freight lol. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe. Enjoy the weekend
Great video. Thank you for being so detailed, especially with the torque specs and bolt tightening sequence. One nuance that I ran into is that the engine in my 2011 jeep grand cherokee laredo sits about 6-8 inches further back than in the video and to get at one of the upper manifold brackets required removing the wipers, wiper motor, and the cowl, which turned out to be the most difficult part of the entire job.
When it comes to that vehicle I recommend a swivel socket so that you dont have to remove all the wiper related items. Thanks for commenting and for the great feedback/kind words. Dont forget to subscribe.
I just finished changing mine on my 2014 challenger I purchased it from Amazon so hopefully I will not have any issues you video was very helpful
Thanks for watching and for commenting. Glad that the install went great. Appreciate you using the video to take on that job. Dont forget to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic what do you think about msd ignition coil
Dam that's where I got mine hope you have better luck than me
Thanks for this video bought my 14 Charger and thought rear main this saved me a ton of labor. This video makes it a cakewalk.
.
Would this be the same on a 2013 Durango SXT
I can't thank you enough for your video PART 1 and PART 2. I just finished up my change out for an after market aluminum one on my 2014 Charger with 340K Kms. It was filling the V for sure. Your step by step is fantastic and awesome camera angles too. I could not have done this without you so thank you so much. It was a bit hard to clean out that V for me, with only a hand transfer pump, but it worked. Lots of rags too. I wasn't able to get it as spotless as you did. I wiped it all down best I could, hit the exterior with some break cleaner, and, well, It's not like you can see in there anyway. It was mostly dry when I got done mopping. Thank you again for Part 1 and 2. This is the second major job you helped me with. The other was spark plugs needing that upper intake off. Great resources. Subscribed for sure!
I’ve had disappearing coolant for a while and no signs of a leak. This was it. The amount of coolant that was puddled under the cooler was insane. You saved me money by switching to a 2015 housing instead of a 2012 and doing it myself. Great video. Mine was a Jeep Grand Cherokee but the methods were all the same.
Can you link the video
Thanks for taking the time to put together such a thorough methodical video. It helped me tackle my wife's 2014 Challenger that was leaking oil and saved me a lot on labor. I didn't have a suction pump but used a large syringe to suck out the oil. I did start by accidently torquing the 5 bolt thinking it was the 1 and backed it out then tightened everything in the proper sequence. Didn't see any leaks, hopefully that didn't cause any problems with the seating of the housing.
I have a 2012 Dodge Charger 3.6 I have oil in my coolant and it is really thick like peanut butter.. when I change the oil cooler do I need to try and flush the system first or do it after I replace it
Replace first otherwise we will keep getting oil into the fresh coolant. It may take flushing it a few times to finally get it all out.
Happy NewYear!!! So i still have the sludge in my coolant system after numerous flushes. What did u use?? 2011 Charger currently overheating.
great video. thank you sir, you did a great job. i replaced mine yesterday on a 2017 dodge challenger sxt everything came out good. i followed your instructions step by step and it was easy. you made it easy. i appreciate the time you spent to create this video to help other people.
I paid 330 for the engine oil cooler, i bought it myself at the agency, paid 85 dollars for labor, i just googled tje part and saw it for half tje price, of course its not oem, im wondering if the cheaper part would have worked tje same. My mom always said the cheap parts always come out expensive
I have to agree. I go with OEM parts when ever possible. When they find an issue they fix it and revise the parts.....aftermarket parts, they just keep making the same part by the thousands and if it fails they will give you another, of course the labor won’t be free the next time for sure.
So much plastic on this car. i couldn't get that petcock to turn despite spraying wd40 up the hose. felt like it was going to break off so i just sucked it out the overflow. my wife is forbidden to ever buy another dodge/chrysler product.
6 years later and this video still helpful.
My wife has a charger and it started leaking oil I checked it and it’s the oil cooling housing unit.. my mechanic quoted me 1600$ so I helped the wife by doing it myself. It’s a messy job but ur video guided me thru everything. My automotive skills are probably a 5/10 but I’m happy of myself for completing the job and now the wife is happy that her car runs and we don’t have to share my vehicle anymore lol😂
I have always been told, "Happy Wife = Happy Life", and I have to agree. I can also attest that the opposite is even more true. If the Wife is Unhappy you are EFFED! However unhappy she is she will make sure that you are 50 times more unhappy than she is and that is at the very least.

Great video. My cooler isn't leaking, but I must replace the oil pressure sensor, code 6dd. I was looking and seemed to think I could get to the sensor from the back. First, remove some things in the way. Cowling, etc. This will result in less cussing, removing the complete upper, or going around the back of the motor?
For that code you will most likely be replacing the oil pump assembly.
Ok. Got it. The pump itself is mechanical except for the Solenoid. I realize that once you have the pump out, replace the entire unit. But most likely, it's the Solenoid causing the problem. Would it be cost-effective only to replace the Solenoid? Thx @@MotorCityMechanic
@@BG-xh5rb personally I don’t want to do it twice…..I would replace the pump assembly with a Mopar to be 100% sure
Thanks for everything. On another question, regarding the 2012 Charger, will I have to remove the upper oil pan and the timing cover to access the oil pump? Thx @@MotorCityMechanic
I fixed my 2014 dodge challenger today and i cant thank you enough for such specific video ...good bless you man
Awesome.....appreciate the feedback and glad it turned out great. Thanks for letting me know how it went. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
My ‘12 Charger 3.6 is at 116,000 miles and I noticed that its been getting up to about 230° on the temp gauge in the EVIC recently... Coolant has never been changed... can that be an issue?
Hi, Dave! Merry Christmas! I successfully replaced spark plugs on my 2014 Chrysler 300 watching your video. I've noticed engine oil presence or may be coolant on V - shaped valley area. I figured I may have spilled some oil there. Watching your video, I confirmed that there is a problem with oil leak. I spotted presence of some liquid there when it new. . Now I have driven 14500 miles, it is throwing OBD ll code as as well - P0305. I went online it's say bad spark plug, fuel injector etc... I don't think so. I believe the problem is with oil leak - vacuum leak causing rough idling and feels like misfiring, etc... I would let you work on it but you're a few thousand miles away. I hope I could replace filter housing myself watching your step by step video. And my 300 due for complete coolant flush anyway and I will replace water pump and thermostat as well. Thanks!
Your welcome and Merry Christmas to you as well. Take your time and you should do okay. Let me know how it turns out!
At 10:04 is a PERFECT example of how car designers intentionally build things to make things difficult. The studs that the 2 10mm nuts come off of, itd be sooo much easier if those studs would come right out.....but they have a washer on them that prevents that from happening. Absolutely no purpose of those washers to be on those studs other than to make it difficult. Thats another reason why i dont like working on dodge chargers.
Thanks for the video. Instructions and explanation were perfect. Just did this on a 3.2L in a Cherokee. Could the oil leak cause an injector to fail? I may have one and have to tear it apart again. Keep up the quality wok. Thanks again!
I have the '18 Pacifica and need to replace mine so not sure if ill do the Oem 100% sure fit or aftermarket aluminum as i hear those can leak to even Doorman as the bottoms arent surfaced perfectly flat etc,,. I hear the Oems only leak because oil change guys over tighten the filter cap..
My mechanic told me that I need to think about changing mines on my 2013 Chrysler 300. He showed me a small spring and some small black part and said that the housing looks like it’s going bad . He quoted 960 dollars to fix it
Is this reasonable?
Great video, I spend more of my time working on getting electrical connectors unfastened than any other part of this job. They are of satan, I’m sure of that.
Is it possible to clamp the coolant hose instead of drain it?
I just did mine this past weekend. I drained mine. Just bought some brand new fresh anti freeze to put back in. I doesn't have any car mechanic experience. But I knocked it out and no more leaks after 2 days.
Forgot about the jeep. Durango. And town and country
The procedure on those is slightly different and not exactly like the ones listed in the video, that’s why I didn’t include them in the title description. Thanks for the comment and make sure to subscribe
Great video thank you. Any idea how many hours of labor this job usually charges? Looking at doing one for a side job and I have no idea what to flag for it.
Thanks for the kind words. Depends on the engine.....typically 2-3 hours. For example a 2015 Jeep Wrangler with the 3.6 is 2.5 hrs. Make sure to subscribe.
I have a code p06DD changed oil pressure switch a new code came it was a transmission code I paid 3200 changed the trans code goes back to p06DD I can't get this engine code to erase and I'm still spending cash ,nothing's is working.
Confused about the trans code. P06DD is an oil pressure related code which typically means oil pump assembly. As long as no major repairs were done internally to the engine recently....oil pump replacement will be recommended.
Thank you very much for the great detail helpful videos! Definitely helped me alot working on my sister's Charger.
The vehicle I have is a Chrysler T&C 2015 touring L Vin # 2C4RC1BG7FR534240 134,000 MILES Q-You did say that this was pron for 2014 and that the replacement part would not leak so why do you think that mine did? (2015) just bad luck or what? Hope to hear from you soon and I do appreciate all that you do Thank you!
I see others leak but the most common are the 2014. They have revised the part numerous times so the newest revision covers the common leaks. This latest version was made well after the 2014-2015's hit the road after leaving the factories. Thanks for watching Michael
Would that leak from the cooler assembly makes the transmission lock up. Oil was pouring out the car and when the tow truck came to tow it it wouldn't stay in gear 😒😑HELP
Absolutely excellent descriptive video. I feel very confident that I can do this myself. Thank you
Many thanks Tom! Take your time and you shouldn’t have any issues
the viewcount on this video says a lot about dodge lol. I like the look of my charger but damn the amount of things i've had to replace since 150k is nuts
Great vids, i got a ?
Whenndoing the iol cooler, should i do the knock sensors or not. Thnkz for ur help.
Lopez.
Is this a similar procedure for the 2014 grand Cherokee?
Very close for sure. If you follow the steps in the video it should all go well l. Subscribe and check out some more of my videos
So is this why my oil pressure is high low high low my gauge won’t stop and my engine filter smokes has a bit of oil on the surrounding area of oil filter and overheats my engine alot
I change the oil cooler oil filter adapter like you do just i have a cuestion i need to chage oil engine ?
choche videos There is no need in changing it unless your close to the oil change interval/mileage. You did just put a new filter in so changing it wouldn't hurt however. The choice is yours. Check the oil level if you don't change it and make sure the level is correct. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Will opening the drain plug removed coolant completely inside engine and coolant reservoir as well as radiator?
It wont removal all of it.....some may stay in the block in certain areas. Some engines have bolts you can remove from the sides of the block to remove all the antifreeze. It will however remove the majority of it.
I just changed mines on my 2012 and it's still draining alot of water. Someone help.
Can you send the Chrysler 200 video, I came across it 2 years ago I just can’t find now
How much is the oil filter if I get it from a DODGE DEALERSHIP
1st video of yours I've watched, very well done and extremely helpful. Thank you!
I have a 2014 wrangler. It's like a time bomb waiting to go off
It can have that feeling for sure.....as if not "if" but "when".
I really enjoy your repair videos. Have you ever thought of doing a video on a radiator replacement for 2011 2014 3.6 Dodge Charger?
I will certainly keep it in mind if one comes in the shop at some point. Thanks for the request
The MOPAR O'ring in the repair kit # 681913 was smaller in the cross section than the O'ring that came with the after market complete oil cooler unit from AA Ignition. This video is excellent and after viewing two or three times It gave me confidence to remove all those parts. I would like to know the dimensions of that one O'ring. It may be that parts suppliers have sourced the O'ring with cross section tolerance that makes for loose and leaky fit.
Thanks Donald for that info. I havent dealt with any of the aftermarket coolers/filter housings. I soooo hate using aftermarket parts due to the failure rate. I am curious to see one to see the differences that you spoke of. Thanks again for the info and make sure to subscribe.
Hey David, Excellent video!! Bet you're also called 'Mopar Maniac'!! Badge I wear with honor! I used a 1/16in wooden dowel to reach down beside the engine oil cooler, it came out clean no oil on it, I didn't have any oil streaks on my bell housing either, but any time I stomped on the gas I would get that burnt oil smell in the car. Upon even further investigation I found the Left rocker arm cover gasket had just a thin coat of oil on it, not quite a leak just oil seepage. Any idea how to seal those 'permadry' gaskets, other than just torquing the bolts down?
You can recheck the tightness but I dont think you will notice anything. For now I would just monitor it and see if it becomes anything. Otherwise you may need to replace the seal if its getting onto the exhaust.
Bro changing this myself I saved $600!!
THANK YOU!!!!
my wife 2014 town and country is leaking oil my suspect is the oil filter assembly its only 41,000 miles. my question is it covered under the power-train limited warranty 5 yr / 100000 miles?
Only way I can tell for sure is with the VIN. You can email it to me at david@motorcitymechanic.com and I need the owners last name.
Hey David, The oil looks like it has been leaking for awhile but not very much at all. I just finished replacing the left exhaust camshaft and two rocker arms ( thanks to your video it was a lot easier to do and for me not being a mechanic and getting into a newer engine like that that it did start right up and the knocking was gone. I let it warm up a bit and let it cool like two times then took it for a slow drive around my complex as I pulled into my parking spot turn off the engine and got saw a trail of oil behind me. Looking under the hood i saw the oil going over the transmission, because i just put a new filter on and new oil in I thought it might be coming from the filter cap so I started it up again and looked under the car and saw a good amount puddling up. Q- What could cause that to start leaking so bad like that? Q- How can I make sure that it is for sure the oil filter housing is there a way to test it ? Q- where do they usually leak from on the housing? I saw two different videos about this but I wanted to let you know my situation to make sure I was not missing anything. Thank you for your time!
Its hard to see where on the assembly it leaks....its hidden under the lower intake so you cant watch to see where the leak begins. eventually it fills the area under the intake and it runs out over the trans and down to the floor. I always feel its from the plastic halves where they are fused together. I have seen any o-ring issues personally. I am not sure why it happened after your repair. Double check your work and if all seems okay.....looks like the cooler assembly be needed. Thanks for using my videos for the repair you tool on. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
So glad I found you on here and wow, you're a great teacher! I used your videos to remove the oil cooler on my 2014 Jeep Cherokee 3.2L. Now I am wondering if I could get by with just replacing the gaskets. thanks for your videos! Awesome job David!
Great video! Unfortunately I didn’t make it past step 1. I turned the drain 1/4 CCW and no antifreeze comes out. Is there a trick? I’d rather not have to pull the lower radiator hose. 2016 Chrysler 300 plastic stopcock.
Had to turn it 1/2 turn.
Question 1: Before the installation, you did not talk about depressurizing the fuel lines. How do you do that before starting this job? or can you just go do this job without it?
As mentioned in the other comment. Go back and watch part 2. We don’t take the fuel line off
My 2014 jeep grand started leaking oil. At first I thought it was the RMS but the stealership pointed out it was this exact problem. I had 15k left on my power train warranty but the stealership says that they are not going to honor it because I have a supercharger installed. Like the supercharger has anything to do with the oil cooler... Makes me so mad. I like to work on engines so I'm going to do the work myself; I will be better informed going in to the job thanks to your detailed video!
Thanks for watching and for reaching out. Sucks that they didnt cover it. Follow the steps in the video and you will be good to go. Make sure to subscribe!
How long would this process take for a mechanic at a local shop?
Typically its about a 2 hour job from start to finish. Thanks for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe.
Hey David quick question I just did this repair thanks to your video. I’m not a mechanic by any means but my question is when I tried to drain my radiator no coolant came out so I did the idiot move and assumed their wasn’t coolant in my system and removed the oil cooler assembly and coolant spewed everywhere on top of the oil. I used a fluid extractor to remove it all but my question is why didn’t it drain from my radiator
I always recommend draining the oil when that happens so that any coolant that mixed with the oil will be drained and replaced. As far as the drain....it might not be fully open or the outlet might be clogged. You can try blowing compressed air thru the outlet to see if it starts flowing then or possibly insert a small wire to see if you can physically clear out any thing that might be blocking it. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
can a coolant leak happen with the oil coolant housing and will it travel to the oil pan and coolant? ,,, the reason I ask is because i think i have a blown head gasket but i see that this assembly is leaking oil and coolant
The cooler can fail and cause oil to get into the coolant. There is no such thing as a blown head gaskets anymore. Chrysler went to gaskets made of multiple layers of steel back in the late 90's and they dont blow. Now you can run it hot enough to warp a head....now thats a different issue lol. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
I declined a 2014 redline challenger other day because when i opened hood oil filter was leaking a habdful of oil.... Was that a red flag or minor problem
Depends......could be a bad seal on the oil filter cap or a leaking oil filter housing. It being a 2014....the housing leaking is very common.
Cant say enough good things about this man excellent explaination not only install but oil trailing back leaking down by trans..thank you very much Sir
Many thanks for the feedback and kind words!
David, great video and I thought for sure this was my oil leak. It it is dripping right on top of the transfer case on the drivers side and I can’t see where it is coming from. Stuck my phone above transfer case as best I could and everything is dry. The intake area and bell housing have no oil.
Do you know from where can I get that rubber bushing one you show at @5:01
I do have a question I have a 2016 Dodge Challenger that needs oil housing replaced so I have to drain the antifreeze?
Yeah bro. I just did mine this past weekend. Do it first. I had to get a big ass oil pan. Once it drained its all screws and taking sensors off. Just make sure when you put it all back together use the same torque specs he listed in the video by the numbers.
Thought you might be in Detroit I'm in northeast Michigan To bad great job on the video Its so hard now days to find someone who dots their I's and crosses their T's
bob george I'm just a bit further south on I-75 😂. Wish I was closer so that I could help out.
The sensors that goes into housing do you know off hand the torque specs for them
What's the difference between the oil filter housing unit for 2011 - 2013 and the one for 2014.
Funny that you asked.....the last video I made covered that. Thanks for watching and for the question. Make sure to subscribe. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/h8mEWyw0IZE/v-deo.html
The same problem for Dodge Grand Caravan 2014. Thanks
two weeks in dealer , oil cooler back order.
Yeah I noticed the back order issue. We had a customer that we helped out by installing the older 2011-2013 version on so that it could still be driven. Otherwise no telling how long until the right version came in. Eventually we will change it back out. We used an extra one I had that I robbed the bypass valve out of under warranty so it didnt cost anyone any parts for now. The 2014 are known for leaking for sure. The replacement part seems to address that issue. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Hardest part of doing this is removing fuel injectors connectors.
They can be tight. I usually hit them with a little bit of wd40 to help with releasing the locks and the removing the connector.
After installing cooler do I need to flush radiator or just add new fluid
Thanks, your da man. My 3.6 feels better already.
Awesome! Glad I could help.
I had my coolant replaced a month ago....im wondering when i drain my coolant for this repair can i jus put it back in or do i need to get new fluid ???
You sure can. Just make sure to use a clean container and you shouldnt have any issues. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Great video...I think mine is leaking coolant so I'm going to change this weekend

Is this part known to leak coolant
I paid $700 for my Dodge Challenger ☹️
Hey i have a 2012 dodge charger sxt 3.6 v6 and i have oil in my coolant resevoir could the engine oil assembly be the issue?
Just replied to your message on the other video. Here is what I wrote: Head gaskets dont blow......not any more when it comes to engines with metal headgaskets. Heads will warp but the gasket will not blow....thats when you know the mechanic doesnt know what they are talking about. The cooler will be the most likely cause of the oil in the coolant. It will take a few times of flushing it to get it all out. Thanks for watching and glad you searched youtube instead of listening to the mechanics you found.

MotorCity Mechanic thanks bro highly appreciated now im going to get to work✌👍
Your welcome!
@@MotorCityMechanicYour Amazingly talented. Having same problem now. Same car 1year younger. Searching for part now.
I think the OEM replacement is the only one on the market and if its not then I still recommend going with the OEM Mopar replacement. I dont trust any aftermarket parts such as this. Call your local dealer and get the part number for your VIN and then compare their price to the ones online (wholesale parts dealers). You most likely will find it cheaper on line even with adding the shipping into the price.
Question 2: Should the Intake manifold ports and contact surfaces be cleaned out and installed dry? This video should have demonstrated how to remove the lower intake manifold off to clean the intake ports. I watch these videos for other visual details that is off topic, although you did not talk about how the condition of the surface, seal and seal wedges and inner intake port walls should appear, I hoped I could have seen it in the video but can't be easily seen. I could not tell if all around and inside walls if the surface should be smooth, clean and dry like a new plastic spoon. The surface of the ports of my lower intake manifold looked like hard caramel candy, dark brownish with a texture of a brown paper bag and the seal and seal wedges on top look a little wet.
Ronald I feel your reading too much into these videos after reading the multiple comments. I could include every little step but then the video would be 4 parts abs be an hour long. Then I would have people complaining about that. Now if people were willing to pay to watch these videos I would be more then happen to give every little spec of info including tools needed, time it takes, price of parts.....etc. remember these videos are free and so is the advice.
@@MotorCityMechanicI understand it's free advice. Not asking for longer videos. That's why I like and subscribe to your channel. I only mention what details I was looking for in your videos. The only question I ask was should the Intake manifold ports and contact surfaces be cleaned out and installed dry? Port surfaces looked like hard candy, seals and wedges a little wet. Thank you for responding.
Ok so I went to a buddies shop of mine who owns a lift and I did the oil change and we got under and looked at the oil and their was a lot of oil built up where the main seal is as well as on top of the transmission area I told him it was most likely just my oil filter housing that was leaking the oil. My question is do these engines leak from the rear seal often or no
I havent seen a rear main seal leak yet.....the oil filter housing is the most common and it fills up the intake valley and then leaks out the rear over the top of the trans and then coats everything underneath as well. I feel good saying the leak is that. 'Thanks for the the question and for watching! Many thanks
I forgot you changed it.....now you just need to clean everything off and you should be good to go.
Great research for me. I have a 2016 Ram 1500 and have oil all over the transmission bell assembly and pan. Gonna see if this is it when I get my transmission serviced. I'd do the transmission myself but the 8 speed is a pain to fill and has many specific requirements.
Sounds like a leaking oil cooler assembly for sure. Thats typically where you see the oil when it does. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
Got the confirmation from the technician today when servicing my transmission, was the oil cooler. Got the parts gonna replace it tomorrow. Of course the wonderful 8 speed was a pain to fill. The technician had to stop part way through as the temperature went above parameters when filling it. Of course I also am going to have to replace the front differential soon as well. So if you were able to do a video on that it would be great.
I did everything exactly and my car started to over heat why is that
I didn't replace that part two times and still leaking up
Just did my 2013. Thank you for posting this, you added some great tips too!
Thanks Earl!
Your work and your teaching skills are impeccable. Thank you so much for these two videos. You provided me with enough information that built my confidence to tackle this job for 1 of my repeat customers. Thank you...
( I Think ) This is not a cooler, but a oil heater from water .. Because the engine oil run cooler than radiator !!
It is a heat exchanger as you mention but for the sake of repairing and for finding parts.....Chrysler calls it a cooler in all the service info and always has on all their engines. When you look up the parts its listed as a cooler as well. So I opt to not confuse people and stick to what the industry labels it as.
We have a Dodge Charger 2013 3.6 Liter with 78,000 miles. We have a mix of oil and coolant coming into the coolant tank. The oil and coolant are leaking from under the car on the driver's side. I can see some liquid around the oil cooler assembly. What could be the problem and how can it be fixed? Also, where can I buy an oil cooler assembly, and what is an estimated price for one? How much should be the cost of labor for replacing this part? Do I also need to change the oil, even though it was recently changed?
Hey David your video saved me alot of $ but I have one problem I mimic your video down to the T in my 2016 dodge challenger and at the end my car wouldn't start just got a clicking sound. Any suggestions thank you in advance.
Followed your guide, used a doorman all aluminum setup.... If youre close to 100k do your plugs and coil packs. I left off the 4 bolts that mount into brackets off for future ease of work. Great tutorial!!
replaced my engine cooler assembly on my 2014 dodge charger was running for 10 min gave a little gas and turned off now it wont start.my front panel has a light on like a lightning bolt its the throttle body control.could that be the problem? someone said my motor was locked. please advise
I'm looking to get a ported manifold but watching this video is kind of intimidating. Getting the top part off seems easy but getting the lower intake off seems like a pain in the ass.
Its not that bad to get to. It may seem difficult but really....its not. I havent checked to see whats avail aftermarket and didnt even know there was a ported manifold....especially with it being plastic. Guess I need to check into it. Thanks for commenting and make sure to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic Yeah, there's a few options. Modern Muscle, Overkilled Motorsports and GPE Engineering all make and sell them. I just ordered one. I'll be putting it on this weekend. I've already installed a few things like a CAI and a ported throttle body and a TB Spacer and swapped the stock PCM out for a tuned one...hopefully this goes well. I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks agian for the awesome guide. I've already subbed. :-D
I know this is an older video, but anyone seeing this problem on a 2015 chrysler 300... I have oil around the base of the housing and wondering if it's the housing or the o-ring on the cap...
David,in this video you seemed to have emphasized that this type of oil leak is a problem starting on the 2014 3.6 engine. I have a Chrysler T&C 2011 3.6 with approx 144k miles which has recently developed an oil leak that seems to be acting the same as in the video. Did the old style oil filter/coolers ever have this type type of oil leak as well?
