Hi Everybody! here is also my axle install video ruclips.net/video/A9ZKsMVoynU/видео.html Cheers!
Best channel for dodge neon!!!👌👍😁
Thanks Juan! I appreciate that!
Thanks for making this helpful video 👍🏻 glad I found your channel just subscribed
Thank you Charlie Ryan! I appreciate the sub!
And next video should be how to install a oil catch can ! Would enjoy to see it !
Added to list! I was actually thinking of doing one for a single can and also show a twin can setup, thanks for reminding me!
AutoFun I will be waiting for the video!
You're awesome man
Thank you Eric!!!
I'm glad I found your videos, you taught me alot about my 05 man. WE all appreciate what your doing
@@erictharp6095 Glad to hear it helped, I'm working on some new SRT4 videos too stay tuned!
I buy all of Mobil 1 stuff from my local Walmart, that Mobil 1 M1-301A oil filter is in stock and sells for just under $12
Hi William! good tip, also comes in handy to have this available locally if you are in a pinch and need it right away. I just wish my local Walmart would keep their inventory stocked more often, every time I go I see the Automotive aisles more abandoned :(
K&N filter is the best lol Yes delete the oil cooler and screws on the stock setup
I have to agree bud! I have not looked back since I deleted, good results all around. And Thanks for watching!
Just a little info, the updated oil filter adapter p/n is 4777998AD.
Good info Fuel 'N Spool thanks for sharing!
@@AlexAutoFun Most welcome, don't get me wrong, MPX is often my go-to company, but I like to save a little money when I can. Keep up the SRT4 videos, lots of good info for people new to these cars.
Just what I was looking for thanks
Do you with I could do the same on my 2.0l neon? The engine is almost fully built (needs pistons/bottom end work)
Ed Peters recommended 5W30 mobile one fully synthetic at all times in the car, so that's what I'm running always.
Hi Roo! yeah he had some really good recommendations and also offered tremendous background on the choices made during production of the SRT4, I know some people disagree with him but I always thought his advice was sound (specially coming from the automotive industry myself I related a lot to his anecdotes)..
@@AlexAutoFun - He passed away last year unfortunately, and the sad thing is thinking about how much knowledge went with him. I had a chance to speak to him by phone twice, he was a total ahole the first time, but then he called me back a few days later to apologize. He had been chasing cattle that got out on his ranch in Texas and he said he was in a piss poor mood that first day haha. Much better conversation the second time.
@@rooh5825 Oh man that's terrible news to hear but that is pretty cool you actually got to talk to him, he was for sure a legend in our world! (and the good old days of the OG srtforums)
Hi, Im new to the SRT4 world, I just inherited my brothers SRT4, I want to make sure I understand correctly, You've been using 5w30 Full Synthetic, and its been good? I recently purchased the oil I want to put in it and I use 5w30 Full Synthetic on all my call because they are Chevy and they require the Dexol, So I just bought that, with one extra thing, High mileage, since all my cars are over 100k, including my SRT.
@@calrunner23 - Are you talking engine or transmission? I've used 5W30 fully synthetic Mobile One since day one when I bought my SRT-4 new, I'm at 80k miles and I've never had engine problems.
If you are talking about the transmission, it's a little trickier, I'm running a rebuilt buffed up transmission from FWD Performance, and that runs Mobile One 5W30 High Mileage engine oil. Before that on my stock transmission I ran Mopar ATF+4 automatic transmission fluid, NO modifier additive.
One big tip for you: Join SRTforums.com, a TON of helpful information. There's also Facebook groups out there, but no way am I ever joining Facebook again lol. Been out of there for 9 years now.
Is there any other procedures when putting the new filter on? Should it be filled with oil before putting it on? Also how much more oil should be used to make up for the bigger filter. I know it’s 5 quarts. I’m putting the big filter on this week. Also is removal of the oil cooler easy?
Hi wftrudell! some people do prefill the oil filter to avoid media shock and some people don't (service manual for example does not call for this) so it's more of personal preference. Regarding capacity, correct technically we have a little bit more depending on how big of an oil filter you went with, the best way to determine how much more is to check the fluid level after the oil change is completed to ensure your are at the recommended factory indicated range on the oil dipstick. Hope this helps, Cheers!
In the srt-4 forum im in everyone says to use 0-40w mobile 1 as it has the best “proven” results for hp and protection and such. I have yet to see the results mysef, but youre recommending a 10w in high heats and i just am confused now and need more explanation. I live in oregon, where its colder than hell in winter, but hot as fuck in the summer hah... should i change weights with the season??
Get the Mobil 1 European formula 0w-40 to get the best range. Walmart has it for cheap.
you should add the link for the M1-301A oil filter...
Hi mastarubio, good idea, I just updated the description to include it, thanks again bud!
Can you do a video on Coolant flush video bro
Hi Davo, I think I should be able to, my SRT could use a flush, I will add to the list bud and let you know once I do!
AutoFun Good looks my guy
I need the part that bolts onto the spacer. You didn't have that in the description.
Hi Cane 305, are looking for the oil filter adapter that bolts onto the spacer? if so here is the link www.modernperformance.com/product/mopar-oil-filter-to-oil-pan-adapter-03-05-neon-srt-4/03-05-neon-srt-4-engine-oiling-system
Hope this helps bud!
@@AlexAutoFun thank you
Just drove my srt 4 back home from the automotive shop for an oil change. I checked the dipstick and it’s at the max level, is that the recommended level?
I do know that required amount is 5 quarts.
Hi Goku Ang! the level will slighty vary from car to car. What people usually do is we calibrate our oil dipstick so we can have a better idea of where on our dipstick is the correct amount (I may do a video on this process later) if you google how to calibrate oil dipstick you should find plenty of tutorials explaining it in more detail. Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
Question. Will an 05 come with the updated oil filter adapter?
Good question man, I believe this was a running change towards the end of the production of the SRT-4 so it may not be tied to a specific year it is possible only last cars produced came with it from factory. If any viewer knows the actual time frame please comment and let us know!
The link you have to the oil filter adaptar is that the one with better passive? Or is it different ?
Hi Mario Patlan, that's correct the link to the filter is from where I got mine with the updated larger passages, thanks for watching bud!
AutoFun Awesome! I won’t need the gaskets with it right ? Or delete the oil cooler with doing this mod right?
hey man what’s up… to do the oil cooler delete do you need to plug the block and the one hose? or can you just plug the bottom of the hoses where the hoses used to meet the oil cooler? or can i tie those hoses together? i have the mpx delete kit but im unsure if thats the only thing i need to do or if i have to actually plug the block
Hi Prod! Some people delete the lines completely and cap the block where the lines used to go and others just insert plugs into the old rubber lines like I did (DCR used to sell the aluminum plugs you see inserted into the hose). I would say it depends on how clean you want the install to be (in terms of looks) and how much labor will be put into it (deleting the lines make the install a longer job but with a cleaner finish and eliminates the potential for the old rubber lines to develop a leak since they are deleted) Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun if i were to tie them together how would i get them to fit perfectly together? thanks
@@AlexAutoFun also wouldn’t blocking both ends of the hoses restrict coolant flow to the engine block? for example where would the coolant that flows into that hose go?
Hi Prod! While I have not heard of joining the two lines together, it's possible someone may have already tried (I imagine, similar to deleting a heater core). Cheers! @prodDaiquiri
Hi Prod! I can't comment on flow as I'm not versed well enough on the fluid dynamics of the engine. The SRT4 came with a cooler from the factory and that cooling path was likely considered as part of the normal flow. I think like with any modification there is the potential for things to go wrong since we are deviating from factory. While the cooler may seem like a minimal change, it is a change and some people consider deleting it a big no no and some consider deleting it as a pro, so I would research as much as possible to get the most info and be able to make an informed decision (wait till you get to the Oil recommendations for the tranny, even more debate there lol). Cheers!@@prodDaiquiri
Do you have any videos of deleting the oil cooler?
Hi King and Queen fitness 19, yes it's actually coming up soon! I'll be reviewing the options available and install, also thanks for the sub my friend!
@@AlexAutoFun I'm having my stage 3 srt4 shipped and it should be here next wednesday. I'm in the army and I am finally getting another srt4. I enjoy your videos man. I am also looking to do a battery relocation to the trunk if you'd be willing to do a video on that.
Just a tip install ur Drain Plug 1st then filter lol
Hi Mr. Me! I usually install the drain plug at the end since I like to extract as much oil a possible, so I put the filter while still waiting for the oil to drain, but yeah it can definitely be done the other way around. Thanks for watching and commenting bud!
Honest question. Why didn't the Dodge SRT engineers do your mods in the first place? The 2.4 turbo does fine with the factory oil cooler setup and a stock style filter. Do have any sort of data to back up your claim on how it's "better" ?
Hi 4drturbo85, good question yes I think you are right, the SRT4 stock setup always worked good for me, even when I was on Mopar Stage 3. These mods are primarily to gain additional horsepower, larger smoother passages on revised oil adaptor and larger oil filter frees up the oil pump reducing parasitic looses similar to the gains from underdrive pulleys or deleting the AC..
the stock oil cooler for them use coolant flow as cooling and majority of times they leak and end up with oil in the coolant, so doing a adapter with -10an fittings and an external mount oil cooler is more heat efficient and eliminates the coolant issue garbage
hey question, how long did you have the oil cooler hoses blocked off like that? and was coolant able to circulate ok?
Hi Prod! I installed the plugs a long long time ago (probably over a decade ago now). Regarding flow, I couldn't tell you. Fluid dynamics is a very complex science, you could potentially use a device like this observe the flow ruclips.net/video/4brMrxuKr9I/видео.html or using software that can model the engine and flow can create a simulation to calculate flow (however this is probably outside the scope of most home mechanics and usually only seen at the professional racing level). And while a simulation can confirm flow, sometimes real life testing is also required to validate and confirm the accuracy of the results produced by the model at different RPMs (since the speed of the pump will affect flow results). Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun and car runs perfect? temps good?
Hi Prod! I would say that would be dependent on how you define perfect and good LOL (the best running temp is somewhat subjective and also remember there are two temperatures to factor, the coolant temp and the oil temp) While I haven't had issues, remember I'm heavily modified, thermostat, coolant mix, custom tune with adjusted fan temps (some use a switch instead of a tune to accomplish a similar temp drop) etc. But also keep in mind that the temperatures will vary depending on how the car is used and any long terms effects of deleting it likely won't be apparent until the next engine teardown. I would recommend consulting with your tuner to see if a delete makes sense for your current build (and future build) along with the planned use for your SRT4. Cheers! @prodDaiquiri
what size is the barbed plug you put?
Hi Prod! DCR no longer carries the plugs, so I couldn't tell you, sorry man. Cheers!
Is this oil filter adapter the oem from mpx or is this one ported?
Hi Forza! I'm using the updated oil adapter that Dodge switched too on later years. I did kept my old one thinking I may port it to make a video on it but I think the time spend may be cheaper to just buy the new adapter. I have also heard of folks porting the updated adapter but the gains are not a much as porting the original adapter. Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
I don't have a napa nearby. What vehicle is the 41515 from?
Hi 1221Ralph! I actually picked up a NAPA catalog with the filter dimensions and that's how I narrowed down which larger sizes would work..
You can run the car without an Oil cooler?
Hi Jesus! most cars do not use oil coolers, however the STR4 being performance oriented came with one. However as I explained in the video, the restrictive nature of it has made some of us remove it for extra HP. And for those that want to retain the oil cooling feature we normally upgrade to a dedicated low restriction system. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Talked to modern they said the adapter wasn't needed for 04-05 the 03 had the smaller ports
Hi Mr. Me! correct some of the newer cars came with the larger adapter. Mine is an 04 but unfortunately come with the adapter with the smaller ports. The difference is honestly very small, I would only say upgrade if you want to extract every single once of power of out the SRT4 (like me LOL) One way to check if you have the updated adapter is to check the part number on the oil adapter on the next oil change (998AD and after is the updated part, the letters in the end are related to the engineering revision, letters earlier than that are the outdated adapter) Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@AlexAutoFun got ya I appreciate it and you're welcome thanks for the video 🍻

We’re you buy your hose plugs?
Hi GoodFellas! (love the movie btw) DCR used to sell them. Mines I just made by cutting back a bar of aluminum about the same diameter of the inside of the hose, they not hard to make but It would be nice if they were sold again.
Just remove both lines. Npt plug to the back of the block and a coolant safe plug to cap the metal water line.
What is the difference in the dodge neon srt-4 and the regular dodge str-4 if their even is any
Hi Mr. iLL! I haven't heard of the str-4. Not sure if you mean the Neon RT?
@@AlexAutoFun typo,what I meant to say was if the srt-4 was different from the neon or if they are just the same thing
Ahh got you, the SRT4 uses a turbo charged engine and different transmission, upgraded suspension and brakes, but since its based on the regular Neon it shares many parts and some repairs are very similar if not identical to a regular Neon..
@@AlexAutoFun thank you this helps a lot since I’m planning on getting it for my first car🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@ill2586 That's awesome! You are in for some fun, the SRT4 is a very fast car and is getting rarer by the day now, enjoy buddy!
Where can i get those plugs made
For the cooler lines please i need to delete mine asap
Hi Team RevItUpBoyZ, I have yet to find another vendor for this little guys, I will try to measure them to see how big they are in diameter (With that info we may be able to find an aluminum bar at Home Depot or Lowes that may fit, will probably just have to cut it to right length).
10w 30?? Mine is 5w 30.. am I missing something
Hi Hailee! my owners manual calls out for 10W-30 mine is an 04 but I have heard of other owners where it called out for 5w-30, I believe this was due to where the car was sold (temperature it would operate at)..
Surprised no one picked up the factory fill is 5w-30
Hi Arcadeic! good observation bud! I think at some point Dodge changed it, my owners manual calls out for 10W-30 but mine is an 04, what does your manual call out for? is it an 2003?

Got it thanks
What about the coolant lines do I have to cap them off or can I loop them too?
@@josebahena190josealbertoba2 I'm assuming you are referring to deleting the oil cooler? If so, I seen both approaches, one where they are just plugged like mine and I seen the approach where they loop them with a tube that join both of the hoses. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@josebahena190josealbertoba2 You're welcome!
🤪🤪🤪
Ur silly! lol 😋
With the big oil filter it holds more than 5 Quarts lol
Hi Mr. Me! yeah it should add some extra capacity, on this SRT I have deleted the oil cooler so that seems to have offset the extra capacity gained so the stock fluid capacity gets me to the fill line on the oil dip stick. Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching bud!
@@AlexAutoFun nice can't beat that ☺ I am in the process of deleting and asked modern what's what they said I wouldn't need the adapter I got it anyway lol they said the 03 had the smaller ports and 04-05 had the bigger ports but thanks for the video it was still insightful

Avoid using high mileage oil. It’s known to soften and swell existing seals. If your motor is healthy and free of leaks it’s not necessary. There’s non high mileage oils with similar additives minus the seal “conditioners” that do a better job.
njshift i just use full synthetic mobile 1 5 w30 in mine
