I can't overstate how educational and well crafted these videos are. So helpful.
I sure hope the mechanic at my local dealership is as sharp as you. Respect to you. A pleasure watching a professional at work.
Many thanks Paul! I hope the same as well.....thanks for the kind words. Appreciate you subscribing as well.
Yes. I want my Jeep dealership mechanic to watch this video even if he or she feel they don't need to. Just outstanding work!

Woke up at 6 am with my pops and just finally finished at 5 pm. Your videos helped us the entire way through and I’m extremely grateful for you and your videos. You went into great detail with your explanations, which helps a lot. Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Always happy to help. Thanks a for commenting on the video and make sure to subscribe

@MotorCity Mechanic I forgot to drain the anti freeze first. When I pulled the oil housing adapter off it started pouring out. Will this mess anything up? How should I go about flushing the system? TIA
I belong to large Mopar club. Over 600 3.6 vehicles. I repair all these with owners help. Only use OEM parts. I learned from you. You have blessed many people. You are the best mopar mechanic on youtube. You have NO equal. Hope ur new business is doing well.
Many thanks man! I need to get a group that large to come to my business lol.
Do you think using a cheap Amazon version of this part can cause it to over heat?
They make these new motors and cars now a days so intimidating to work on .....thank god for people like you ..,you truly do save people hundreds and thousands of dollars in there pocket so they keep the wolf’s off there door , feed there kids and live a better life. Thank you
I am glad that I can share what I know......I know money isnt easy to come by and there is always something waiting around the corner to take it like car issues for one. I am happy that people find and watch these videos and to hear comments like yours makes it all worth it. Thanks again and make sure to subscribe.
Big Facts, They're trying to charge me $1000 to fix this for me, I'll do it my damn self
@@titaniumbro I heard that. They want to change me $1000 and it will be 3 to 4 weeks to get the parts. Found the original MOPAR part# online. Will have it here this weekend. This video will save me about $750!
Good to see a mechanic that takes pride in his work. Excellent video!
Thanks Bob! Those words mean alot. Dont forget to susbcribe.
Your video was a great help, didn't have money for shop repair. Your video was very well done. Thank you again for the time you take to explain things in detail. Well done!
Bro, this was the absolute best how to do video that I've ever watched on something this tedious. You're awesome. Thank you so much.
Awesome video. Just saved myself 1700 bucks the shop wanted to charge me. Took about 4 hours. Glad I found this video. Straight to the point and step by step. Couldn’t ask for anything more !! 🎉
Professional, precise and to the point, absolutely first rate mechanic. Thank you.
Can't thank you enough for this. My mom was quoted $1100 CDN for this repair and with this video, I did the job myself with Mopar parts for under $300 CDN. You rock!
Awesome! Both for taking on the repair and on saving money. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe
How did you find mopar parts, i have a 2014 and it's impossible
Dealer quoted me 470 for part only
You are the part of any repair. First thing I do is see your video so far I've replaced failed tranny torque converter and solenoids (press sol failed), rocker arms, T stat, rear bearing, filter oil cooler....all this with only 150K. Thanks you save me a bunch $$
Outstanding video,the best repair video I have ever seen bar none. You are a credit to your craft!
I do all the maintenance on two fords and two dodges from 1978 to 2017. We own two pentastar engines. You're the man! You've no idea how much this helps.
Glad that I can help out when ever possible. Sorry for the delay in replying back.......thank you again for the kind words.
I just did this job on my 2012 Grand Cherokee. Thanks so much for a detailed simple step by step instruction. Well made video.
Thanks Jamie!
i appreciate the amount of care and information that is in this video.
Thank you for the kind words
Second time your videos have helped me! Changed the plugs about two years ago and this year had to change the oil cooler in a Town & Country. Thanks so much for posting such useful information to UA-cam. Really appreciated the torque settings and sequence for tightening the bolts.
Your step by step procedure and how detailed you were made it so much easier. Thank you! Glad to see true passion in what they do. Again, thanks brotha. 🙏🏽
Thanks for your time putting together this very informative and helpful video. I changed out the plugs, coils, sensors and hose along with the housing and my JGC is running better than ever.
My man the production quality is getting better with every video. very impressed. well done.
Make appreciated......I have been making a few changes in both equipment and editing software. If only I could find a quiet shop as well lol. None the less......thanks for the comment. Glad to see you keeping up with the channel!
WOW. Best how to I've seen for mechanic work. Extremely well done!
I would just like to Thank you. It is refreshing to see a person with full knowledge of their craft and the ability to articulate what they are doing in a way that is easy to understand. Keep up the awesome work.
Really appreciate this video. Been working on cars for 35 years but all the little clips and manifold bracket bolts and such saved me a lot of time. Thank you very much!
I just did this on a 2012 Caravan , there are other videos out there specific to the Caravan , but yours is more detailed and thorough. VERY good camera work and EXCELLENT walk through. I appreciate you very much!
The level of detail, such as covering the two-stage locks on the wires, is super helpful. Thanks so much.
The process went super smooth, with no hiccups, because the video shows and tells *exactly* what to do to get it without trouble.
Very thorough! Your instructions before and the actual removing of parts is second to none. Just awesome! You should have 1 million plus subscribers very soon. I only found your channel due to seeking help with a mopar. Imagine if you vlog all other makes...? I appreciate you. Thanks for the video👍🏾
I love working on cars and my boys are always there with a new problem. Im glad they need my help and I'm hoping this is the oil leak I can't seem to locate. Your video looks so easy and I have to remind myself that I'm not a pro at this and you are! Thank You!!
Straight forward, informative no bs video. Thank you
Thanks for sharing, David! I have a 2011 Journey with the 3.6 and my oil cooler is leaking. You make this job look easy.
The quality of your instruction is impressive!! I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6 with the same oil leak issue. After watching your video I am going to do the job myself. Ording all the parts now. Thank You.
Oh man I don't know how to thank you, but you saved my life
You are the best in this world
Dude, you are the man. Can't express how much I appreciate the great work you do in putting these videos out. Clear, concise, to the point, great camera angles, detail oriented, all the important points hit. Used this video to do my 2013 Jeep Wrangler 3.6, there were just a couple of slight differences with the brackets which was easy to figure out, other than that, same stuff. Took me about 4 hours. Keep up the great work my friend, you just saved me $500 bucks!!! Will definitely be looking you up in the future as well as telling my friends about your channel. Thanks again!!!!
Steve...thats an awesome testimonial! I greatly appreciate it. I have been wanting to do a video on the Wrangler but havent had the opportunity yet. Always too busy. Glad it worked out and nothing like saving some money. Make sure to subscribe and share!
Thank you!!!!! I just finished 2015 JKU. Followed your videos, lay out of houses and air intake is a little different but everything else is the same. Very useful torque specs and torque sequence instructions. Also replaced the sparked plugs since it was only a few moRe minutes of work. Thank you for your videos, very detail instructions.
Thanks for the great feedback! Its much appreciated. Glad to see that the videos continue to help people. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already
bro you made this look so easy. my oil housing just went out on the highway. i made it home thank God. thanks to you i cant wait to tackle this. thanks for saving me so much money at the dealer
Extremely helpful. Clear step by step explanation. I had my charger serviced at the dealership today and I was wondering why they charge the way they do. I now have a better understanding and realize that there's a lot of work involved in replacing the assembly. Thank you so much.
Saved me well over 1000 bucks from any repair shop in my area. Thank you for the clear concise information and torque specs with the patterns for tightening.
Thanks MotorCity Mechanic! Your videos are the best, most concise, accurate, and informative auto repairs videos I've watched on you tube. I used the information in your video to replace the oil filter housing on my 2013 Ram 1500. A few minor differences, but nothing I couldn't figure out. The biggest problem with the Ram, is getting to the back of the engine since it's basically under the dash. I really had to climb up in the hood area to get to a lot of stuff. But got it done, and all is well. Thanks again!
Great to hear that the video helped and that you were able to use alot of the info to do the repair on the truck. My hats off to you and thanks for using my video to take the job on. Make sure to subscribe and check out my others as well.
Another great tutorial. I used this as a rough guide for my 2015 3.6l RAM 1500. As popular as the V6 RAM is, there isn't any info on engine work on it. Thanks for sharing your professional methodology, specs, and tips! No doubt you're making me a better DIY shadetree mechanic. Thank you.
Just replaced the oil cooler on my wife's early 2011 WK2 3.6. Wouldn't have tried it w/o your video. HUGE Thank You!!!
Thats Awesome! Great job and my hats off to you. Appreciate you using my video and for commenting!
Gonna follow you. Big thanks. I was at the dealership as I have a warranty figured it was the oil pan leaking. Of course the warranty doesn't cover this but covered the motor mounts on my 14 charger. Found out it was this very part. They wanted to charge me 750. Seeing I can do this myself. Very thorough guide. Thanks again.
Your welcome and yeah....if you take your time you will save alot of money. Thanks for following the channel Antonio
That was a great video and excellent sequential instructions. I have done these before but always like to look for short cuts . I love the fact you added in torque specs and instructions on the order of reinstallation . Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to film this. It was a great help.
Thanks Gaither for watching and for commenting.
This has been the most informative video I have seen on how to repair this part, well done. You saved me a lot of money. I appreciate what you do and I definitely subscribed.
Great Video... you make me feel like im an experienced mechanic just watching your video!
Thank you for the video. You just saved me a lot of money. Great job. Please keep em coming. You are very detailed and easy to follow
yep my 2014 ram had this done. Nice to see how it is done. Excellent instructions and camera angles. Another great one! In my opinion you have past up the other great mechanics out there that I have watched.
Dude....that was a much appreciate comment. Its always cool to get feedback like that. I try my best to step up the quality in each video in one way or another. I figure if your spending you time to watch....well then the best thing I can do is hold the camera right and try not to waste your time and hurt your eyes at the same time. Thanks again and keep watching!
David, thank you for a very good two-part video on replacement of the Pentastar engine oil cooler assembly. I am considering replacing this on my nice '12 Chrysler 200 Touring convertible as an upgrade. I just need to reference left side of the engine as front and right side as rear on my car. I recently bought a GEARWRENCH inch pound torque wrench for the lower torque specifications.
Outstanding video. I'm an idiot and did not look for the torque sequence when viewing an inferior video. Took the torque to the oil cooler at 19in/lb instead of 9in/lb on the first replacement and probably from middle to ends on the sequence. A month later its leaking again. Wish I has seen your video first, but I'm sure it'll help me on this hopefully-last time around. Excellent explanations and visuals, you are a huge credit to this resolution.
Many thanks for all the kind words! Always happy to help and glad to see people using these videos like yourself. Dont forget to subscribe.
Great job David . Again great to see you love what ya do and it shows man .. Keep up the great work buddy !!!
It is a very high quality video, both in information and in craftsmanship. I did the same job in a grand cherokee, except this was leaking coolant.
Thank you and congrats
Thanks Salvador! Appreciate the comment. Make sure to subscribe and check out the other videos as well.
Thanks David you step by step walked me through this perfectly!
This video just save me hundreds of dollars part one and part two keep up the good work and very helpful
Great couple of videos. I cant wait to tackle my oil cooler leak now on my 14 Durango.
Thanks Earl for commenting about the video. Take your time and you shouldnt have any issues. Let me know how it turns out. Make sure to subscribe.
Very insightful video. Great step by step instructions. Thanks for the great DIY video
Hey David thanks for the vid, i have a 2014 Chry 300 , and oil coming out the back of the engine on to the Transmission, I was scratching my head thinking from where , now I know I will be tackling this weekend Beer project is up lol thanks again, great info man.
Your welcome. Its very common on the 2014 models for sure. Thanks for finding this video and for commenting. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
Man you are a life saver! All my repairs I have done on my 2011 Dodge Journey V6, there was a video on your channel for it. I noticed my oil filter housing is also leaking but it's not dripping onto my transmission yet, so will keep an eye on it once it gets worse. Dealer is charging $180 for the entire unit, pretty expensive, but I'll go with your recommendation of replacing the entire unit.
Video liked!
Many thanks for following the channel and for coming back when you need help. Its greatly appreciated!
Subscriber here. Wish I had seen this video when I had to replace the lower intake manifold on my 2012 Chrysler 300! It took some time to look up the torque specs and sequence. I didn't have a problem with my oil cooler but when I did pull the lower manifold I couldn't believe the amount of stuff collected around the cooler unit. I had a problem with mice eating wild cherries on my manifold and spitting the pits into the hollow below. I used an air hose to blow out about 2 quarts of pits before I pulled the upper manifold and more after it was pulled. Then after pulling the lower I blew more out! Then since there were many still there just bouncing around I used a plastic water bottle with the bottom cut out and taped to my shop vac and a small hose like you used to suck the oil taped to the water bottle to vacuum another 1/2 cup of pits out before I could reassemble everything!! I am checking your feed for other 300 or 3.6 engine related videos and hopefully shortcut any future problems.
Many thanks for watching this video and for your interest in my other videos as well. I have run across some small animal issues over the years. Luckily you didnt have any damaged wiring. I appreciate the comment as well and for being a faithful subscriber
That is the best repair video I have ever seen! Thanks for taking the time to do it. Dealer wants $1100, this will be easy to do myself...after your video, of course.
my Chrysler dealership told me $1,200. I’m gonna do it myself if it take a week using this video from now on I’m my own mechanic,
You are very thorough and clear bro...I appreciate your videos much.
THANKS.
Seems I've run into this exact issue on my WK2. If it's not covered under my warranty (third party dealer and nearly up), I have this great guide and an urge to start getting my hands dirty anyway. Amazing work on the vid.
Take your time and you should do okay. Appreciate you checking out this video and make sure to subscribe Jordan.
I love you style! Through and detailed without being slow.
Thanks for the feedback!
David. Awesome job. All I need to know ahead of time. Love your vids and they are always pot on. Thank you for your great work.
Thanks for the great feedback. Its much appreciated. Make sure to subscribe.
I wish I had seen your video first vs another video. Yours was way more helpful. Thanks for the help
Really enjoy your videos! Detailed and very easy to follow! You did great work cleaning everything up, and I know its just my OCD kicking in but I would have cleaned all the dust and dirt while I had the intake off. Thats just me though. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comment and feedback. Keeping watching....there are always more videos in the works.
Not the first time I’ve used your videos, I was top notch thank you!
Thanks for returning to the channel
@@MotorCityMechanic Small nitpick. I had to rewind from the torque spec to the torque sequence from. Beyond that the job was very detailed, applied it to a T&C.
Awesome great tip on the 1/4" socket!
I have never seen a more thorough video.
Many thanks. A lot of time goes into these videos and glad to see that they are appreciated. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
Very useful video simple guy talking mainly how to replace part in your vehicle no it’s advertising for something else” and it was very helpful to do my Challenger thank you very much respect bro👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great video, great mechanic, I owned a shop for 40 years and wish I had just one mechanic who was half as good as you. I hope the place you work for realizes how valuable you are.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. My 2016 Ram 1500 developed this problem 3000 miles out of warranty. I watched three videos on the process and yours was the best. The Ram is a little different especially with the upper intake and an extra wiring harness, plus it is much higher off the ground and the engine sits at the extreme rear of the compartment made for some tricky reaching. The part number for my oil cooler was the AC version, which has since been upgraded to AF. Mine was leaking from the o rings on the bottom and was not cracked. The new o rings are a different material and I hope I never have to do this again.
Thanks for commenting Ian. On the ram truck you actually can sit/stand in the engine compartment which makes a lot of difference. When it comes to the seals....to me its gamble either way and at the dealership.....I dont want to have to do the job twice. It would be different if I could see exactly where the leak is but with it being buried where it is....its almost impossible. Glad it all worked out for you in the end and thanks again for finding and for watching these videos. Make sure to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic I'm fixing my son's 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 3.6 with only 109,000 kms. There is enough room to stand within the compartment thankfully as it would've been a far reach. There was about 3" oil sitting under the oil filter housing. I ordered the aluminum one and hopefully the gaskets that came with it are good quality. Your video is AMAZING. I followed it for the whole procedure. I follow a Ford guy who has helped me immensely with our F150 timing job and Im so lucky to have found you for the Dodge Chrysler vehicles. Another hero in my world.
This is an excellent video, I really appreciate the level of detail and the professional way it was presented. Many thanks for providing it! I found it extremely helpful in changing the oil pressure sensor on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. There are some good videos out there specifically aimed at the oil pressure sensor, but when I got to to the point of removal of the sensor, there was not enough clearance to get the sensor out, I had to remove the oil filter/cooler assembly... then it was relatively easy. The hardest part of this whole process is removing and removing that stud in the mounting bracket. For my vehicle, you can't see it without a mirror, and it is very hard to reach. Anybody with a Grand Cherokee figure out a good way to get this out and back in again?
Glad mechanics like you do videos for us that like to fix cars by ourselves, I got a call tonight from my son telling me there's oil all over the bottom of my car and the car was steaming from under the hood, I checked the car (2012 charger 3.6l) and found the hose that was cracked, i wasn't sure about the oil though ? but seeing your video at least i have something to go by now. I have 185000 miles on this car, so far i have replaced the thermostat housing, radiator, Dodge replaced the alternator after it went up in smoke and other recalls taken care of along the way. It has been a good car but i dislike PLASTIC on engines....for a good reason. Good video David.
I fully agree.....plastic pars especially on the cooling system is never a great thing in my book. Glad that the video helped and thanks for reaching out!
Great video. I was a little intimidated at first by all the electrical connectors. But I watched the video a few times and felt more confident. Piece of advice, be very gentle with the electrical connectors. Also watched the video on changing the spark plugs as well. Both went exactly like the video. Thanks MotorCity Mechanic.
Changed it this morning and it’s still running hot
Anotherexcellent video David! Thanks for all that you do for us
Very we’ll explained and I can’t thank you enough for this video. You saved me a lot of money.
You sir are an amazing instructor!!!!!!!
I followed all the instructions and specs. On you very professional video
love your videos! there helping me with my supercharger build! ported upper lower intake fluid flush! the great explanation to detail helps alot with my type of learning!!
god bless you!
Great work ethic keep up the good work. Just as I used to do at the dealerships before my injury
Many thanks. Always great to hear from others that "have been there".
I have a 2014 Chrysler 300 and this happened to me. Thank you for the information.

Hi...i welly like to thank you for this great video that’s make me repair my car dodge easy and fast and not cost me much.....thank you again....keep on......👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video man. Very easy to follow instructions and the torque specs were awesome too.
My 2014 Dodge Durango has this leak going on.
Appreciate the comment. Thanks for finding the video and for watching it. Glad that the info included helped. Make sure to subscribe
@@MotorCityMechanic any idea why my car started overheating after changing this part?
Replaced thermostat radiator water pump hoses and reservoir cap
i am going to try this on the 27th of all the videos on line.. This is the only one that looks professional.. One guy took half the motor apart the other guy pried it apart;..lol THANK YOU for all your videos
Yeah thats the issue with everyone having a camera and making a video....sometimes they arent that great or better yet shouldnt have been made. Thanks for finding my video and for the great feedback and kind words. Make sure to subscribe and Merry Christmas
MotorCity Mechanic thanks for the video and the specks. Those were the most important part. It went great. You could see where one of the O rings was leaking. I should have returned the part and just replaced the O rings
Thanks again. It took a little over two hours to complete the oil cooler R n R
@@skipwilliam5639 Thanks for the update and glad it went well.
Hi, Dave! I am gonna make a long story very short. I reinstalled original filter housing back to where it was. I just replaced o'band ring. There is a very long story to why I didthat. Now, my 300 runs like a champ. You know what? Windshield doesn't fog up anymore, feeling like stalling when making right turns (actually stalled a couple of times when idling). has more power ( used premium gas - manual recommends to use 87 octane), on freeway keep losing speed even holding gas pedal steady and much more pick up speed. All those pressure are gone
Thanks to you! Next thing, I need to replace outer tie rods. I hope I didn't crack upper and lower intake manifolds (took them down and reinstalled 3.5 times)
excellent period of instruction! Others need to learn from you.
Awesome, clear and precise video. Will save me $985! Thanks bro
Awesome! Glad to hear that. Nothing like saving money. Thanks for watching Leonard and make sure to subscribe.
THE GOAT!!! Saved Me A Ton In Labor With Your Easy To Follow Guide!! #SALUTE
Always happy to be able to help.
Thank you Sir! Perfect instructions, saved me a lot of money!
always happy to help people save what ever money they can.
Thanks a lot sir very helpful video did exactly what you showed and did the job myself you saved me some labor cost!!! Thank you so much for making these videos!
Great video! Very professional and detailed. Thank you.
Good video. Definitely feel more comfortable working on it myself now.
Thank you so much for making this video! I greatly appreciate the details you put in to help a novice like me want to even try this. I followed it to the letter and the whole thing worked out great! I went with the new Doorman aluminum oil cooler assembly so hopefully this is a one and done swap out for me.
Thanks for watching. I do need to make a video on that replacement part in the near future
All you would really need to show is how to remove the sensors and cooler from the old assembly and put them on the new one. The rest of the original video is excellent in detail and explanation.
@@brentbeck7984 for sure. I want to do the pros and cons of using it and point out items like that as well. Been making some notes on that and want to bring up some topics that people might not thing if when using it
Am gonna fix my son’s 300, wish me luck🍀 , with this videos I’ll be fine, thank you
Great video. This gave me the confidence to do it myself. A couple of bumps along the way, like breaking the oil temperature sensor connector, and then the sensor breaking loose in the housing so I had to buy a new assembly and watch this video and all that ...The fluid leakage was a surprise... Also THOSE F'ING PLASTIC STRAPS! There has to be a better way than those christmas tree clips. What a massive point of frustration, trying to take them out carefully and then the plastic snaps... ARRGGHHH.
Anyways, job completed thanks to you Dave.
