I have the 2.0 Turbo same size filter but it also has two intake valves that come into the side of that filter box that make it more difficult to pull open the filter box like you showed, how do I disconnect these two valves that come in from the side
No. I strongly recommend AGAINST using anything other than Mopar paper filters. Anything less allows for too much dirt to get into the engine and that will cause issue with your engine. This is something I have seen time and time again since the 3.6L was introduced back in 2012.
Interesting that they chose to use screws/bolts to secure the air box instead of the traditional quick release clip closures like on the jk. Any thoughts on why this is and pros/cons?
How many miles on that air filter? And how many off road trips to dusty trails? Would be nice to know. That reminds me, I need to check the air cleaner in my TJ!
A little over 11,000 miles on it. We work from home and only really take our JL out to get to the trail, wheel it and come back home - I'd say, 2/3rds of that are dusty trail miles.
Just for the hell of it you should have taken it wheeling to show us how much more power it has...and to show us you wheeling! Always love the scenery.
What are your thoughts on snorkels? When in Africa, I see them everywhere. They swear they reduce dust ingestion. Then again, they may not have as easy access to new clean air filters, either. I'm chewing on the idea of a Mopar snorkel for my JL before going to Moab in October. You live and play in what appears to be a VERY dusty environment, so I'd love to know your experienced thoughts on it.
Personally, I'm not a fan of snorkels. Depending on the wind, they'll suck in just as much dust as a Jeep without one. The single best thing you can do is run a factory panel filter and change it on a regular basis.
My African friends don't do a great deal of water crossing. They tell me it is primarily for dust. That said, they live in it constantly. I only visit it occasionally, so I wanted to hear from folks that are in it more often than me. I don't do deep water, unless there is no option. I've seen vehicles hydrolock and get other damage from it, even in places they'd crossed before, several times.
There is a reason why 90% of Africa and Australia overlanders, tour companies, etc run raised snorkels, and they seldom do deep water crossings. If your concern is more for dust then water a raised snorkel with a pre-filter will be a significant improvement over the stock location. A second filter can only improve the air quality and if you are following another vehicle the dust kicked up from them is reduced higher in the atmosphere (less dust in the air at 6' then there is at 3'). Search "snorkel" on Andrew St.Pierre-4XOverland channel, Ronny Dahl-4WDinWA, and Jim McNabb, combined they have a few million miles of Africa and Australia desert and sand dune crossings.
I'm in Australia and run a snorkel on my nissan and get considerably less dust in my airbox. By running a snorkel that's sealed to the airbox properly and goes up to the roof line you're getting cleaner, cooler air.
I bought last week a new 2023 JLUR with XR package off the dealer lot. Someone custom ordered it and changed their mind for some reason. But my new Jeep came from the factory with Mopar Cold Air Intake installed. I think the Mopar CAI air box has a reusable filter that has more airflow. Any feedback on this filter? You think it may have less filtering capacity than the stock disposable Mopar filter?
Get rid of it and reinstall a factory airbox with Mopar paper filter. Trust me, the CAI lets in way too much dirt and it will ruin your engine. A good friend of mine had a factory installed Mopar CAI and when his engine started burning oil, the CAI was blamed for it and Jeep would NOT warranty his motor.
@@wayalife Thanks. What if I just add the OEM paper filter since the CAI is also Mopar and came installed from the factory. It would be then the same as the regular stock one, but just a wider tube.
@@shmohsin-lasvegas I couldn't tell you for sure as I am not Jeep or your dealership. All I know is that my friend was denied warranty work because he didn't have the factory airbox or Mopar filter installed.
Sorry, not a fan of anything other than OE paper filters. I have personally tested out and seen way too much dirt get past anything else, including the Mopar CAI. This will ruin your engine and it will NOT be warrantied.
Question for you. . . This isn’t related to the oil change video, but been meaning to ask you... are you planning to re-gear now that you have 37s, or are the 4.10s capable with the new JL tranny
No. I would not recommend it. I have run K&N and similar high flow filters and have found them to let in way too much dirt. As you can see in our video, we are in the dust A LOT and the only thing I have found to do the BEST job of protecting our engines from dust is the factory filters.
Question to any JL owners... Does your fan go on even if the engine is not warmed up? This happens to me on warm days. The fan would go on for about 30 seconds and run idle. Should I be concerned about this? Eddie the sound is like when you took your jl off road for the first time and you said "it was pissed"
The air filter, I would change as needed. If you're not in a lot of dust, you can stick to the service intervals as is described in the user manual and that's a long time. Cabin filter, that all depends too. For the most part, they won't get nearly as clogged or as quickly.
So now that the concentration is on Jet Li what does RubiCat and Mobi do these days? I'm sure they are happy to be out of the spotlight and are somewhat happy to be resting these day. But how are they? What have they been up to? Do they still get play time and stretch their control arms? Or do they just hang around town and take it easy? Hope to hear from ya soon. Have a great day...
We recently sold Rubicat. Moby still gets a lot of play time and is typically playing backup support for Jet. In case you missed it, here's a video that we posted of Moby a couple of weeks back ruclips.net/video/Pc-r2xd8Eig/видео.html
Because we're not a fan of snorkels. Don't like the way they look, don't cross too many rivers deep enough to put our hood under and you STILL need to replace your air filter as a part of routine maintenance.

Sorry, not interested. I have a friend with one and I think it looks ridiculous. Even with it, you STILL need to replace the air filter as a part of routine maintenance.
If you mean the JK-Experience, we stopped attending them a few years back. If you mean wheeling trips, here's one that we posted up recently: ruclips.net/video/joYCOPY8A3Y/видео.html
Thanks for keeping these maintenance videos easy to follow, and without distractors!
A simple and excellent video. Happy to see that I am not the only person vacuuming the air filter box when replacing the air filter.
LOL!! Crazy as it may seem to some, I can't imagine not vacuuming it out :)
Thank you for making videos like these. I just changed my air filter on my 18 JLU and it only took 5mins.
Glad it helped
Just replaced my air filter! Was as easy as the video showed! Thank you!
Awesome! So glad we could be of help :)
Dang it, I'm such a noob, I've been only changing my cabin filter. Totally forgot about the air filter.
Thank you for this Maintenance playlist Eddie!
Glad we could share this with you. Keeping your engine free of dirt is definitely very important, maybe more so than your cabin.
It always pays to keep up on regular maintenance!! Thanks Eddy..!!
Yes it does! Glad you liked the video :)
I definitely agree with you on replacing the filter I just prefer a K&N because you can wash it out and reuse it.
To each their own. Having run a K&N in the past, I've simply found that they let in way too much dirt to pass into the engine.
Great info. That air box reminds me of my XJ 4.0. Super easy to get at.
Glad to hear you found our video to be informative :)
Thank you!!
Love it thanks for the help
Glad that we could be of help with our video 😎
Nice. I love these easy diy videos.
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks!
Another great video! Can't wait to see whats next.
Glad you liked it, thanks!
I have the 2.0 Turbo same size filter but it also has two intake valves that come into the side of that filter box that make it more difficult to pull open the filter box like you showed, how do I disconnect these two valves that come in from the side
Thank you for all the great content! Do you think there are benefits to using K&N washable filters?
No. I strongly recommend AGAINST using anything other than Mopar paper filters. Anything less allows for too much dirt to get into the engine and that will cause issue with your engine. This is something I have seen time and time again since the 3.6L was introduced back in 2012.
@@wayalife thank you for the advice Sir.
Interesting that they chose to use screws/bolts to secure the air box instead of the traditional quick release clip closures like on the jk. Any thoughts on why this is and pros/cons?
I bought my JKU used and one of the clips was broken off. I assume maybe that’s why?
How many miles do you have on your jL now and thanks for the video
About 12,000 miles.
How many miles on that air filter? And how many off road trips to dusty trails?
Would be nice to know. That reminds me, I need to check the air cleaner in my TJ!
A little over 11,000 miles on it. We work from home and only really take our JL out to get to the trail, wheel it and come back home - I'd say, 2/3rds of that are dusty trail miles.
great vid as always Eddie! just curious, when did you do your first oil change? (in milage/run time ?)
Did our first at about 3,000 miles. Basically, within the first 2 months of buying our JL.
That opening.... 🤣🤣
LOL - glad you enjoyed it 😁
What is the name/spec of the screw? Lost one and need to buy
Thank you
You bet!
Dont forget your cabin filter... It will be almost as dirty as the engine air filter...
That'll be another video :)
When will that video be out you think? I’m just curious. : )
Awesome have a great day
Thanks! You have the same :)
hi , thanks for all the great videos, is this the same part# for the 2.0 turbo? thanks
I'm pretty sure that it is. I just double checked on various Mopar sites and they have the same part number for both a 2.0 and a 3.6
@@wayalife thanks alot for quick reply and answer keep up the great videos!!
Can you spray water on the roof and open the driver and passenger door to see if water leaks into the cabin?
LOL! Jeep Wranglers have a "removable" top - of course water dribbles from the gutters into the cabin. You should see what it's like on older models.
What about those spark plug wires with zero OHM resistance?
Just for the hell of it you should have taken it wheeling to show us how much more power it has...and to show us you wheeling! Always love the scenery.
We got wheeling videos coming your way soon :)
How about doing a video on the JL 2.0?
Unfortunately, I do not own a 2.0. Should be pretty much the same thing though.

Plus the snorkel pulls in colder outside air to the engine

One questions their thoughts on K & N air filters?
Sorry, not a fan of anything other than OE paper filters. I have personally tested out and seen way too much dirt get past anything else, including the Mopar CAI. This will ruin your engine and it will NOT be warrantied.
Question for you. . . This isn’t related to the oil change video, but been meaning to ask you... are you planning to re-gear now that you have 37s, or are the 4.10s capable with the new JL tranny
Unlike the JK before, the 8-speed automatic on the JL is awesome. I feel no need to regear with our 37's and 4.10's.
Would you recommend the K&N for dusty environments? That's what I run in my JK and it has proved to work great in the backwoods trails I run.
No. I would not recommend it. I have run K&N and similar high flow filters and have found them to let in way too much dirt. As you can see in our video, we are in the dust A LOT and the only thing I have found to do the BEST job of protecting our engines from dust is the factory filters.
Wayalife wow that's good to know, I wasn't sure if there was a benefit of running the oiled K&N filter in the dust.
Great on cars, horrible on Jeeps.
Wayalife
Did you try the AFE pro guard?
Nope, not interested. I've run AFE, AirRaid, K&N and the like on previous Jeeps and have never seen any keep out dirt better than a factory filter.
Question to any JL owners... Does your fan go on even if the engine is not warmed up? This happens to me on warm days. The fan would go on for about 30 seconds and run idle. Should I be concerned about this? Eddie the sound is like when you took your jl off road for the first time and you said "it was pissed"
If you turn your AC on a higher setting, the fan WILL go on at start up. This is totally normal.
How often does one need to change the Air filter as well the cabin filter?
The air filter, I would change as needed. If you're not in a lot of dust, you can stick to the service intervals as is described in the user manual and that's a long time. Cabin filter, that all depends too. For the most part, they won't get nearly as clogged or as quickly.
I can't seem to find one at Walmart! Only have for jk does Fram make one for the JL
I wouldn't doubt that Fram and the like make one. The Mopar one can only be found online.
Is it common to use standard filter vs K&N filter for this type of vehicle?
On a Jeep that goes off road, I would NOT use a K&N type filter. They let in way too much dust.
Good to know. Thanks
Why fold up on the air filter hose when you can simple loosen the clamp with the same tool?
Because this worked just fine and I don't like to do more work than is needed :)
@@wayalife The owner's manual also does not include the step of loosening the clamp.

Yeah, it was really sad to see her go but we really needed to free up some room in the stable.
What no cold air intake with KNN?
Not a fan. Nice for cars but horrible at keeping dust out of the engine on a Jeep. Seen way too many ruined 3.6L from cold air intakes.
2:20 ugh do that outside! U triggered my OCD lol.
LOL
wow
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How much was the replacement filter?
If I recall, it was something like $15
Why not put snorkel whit cyclone head?
Because we're not a fan of snorkels. Don't like the way they look, don't cross too many rivers deep enough to put our hood under and you STILL need to replace your air filter as a part of routine maintenance.
