I had the same issue on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler 3.6 liter. The oil filter housing which holds the oil cooler was bad. I took off the oil filter housing and unbolted the cooler. I pressurized the cooler and found out the oil cooler had a crack somewhere in the cooler allowing oil to get into my coolant system. I ended up getting a new oil filter housing with cooler, problem fixed. Thanks for posting
I have a 2024 Jeep grand Cherokee limited with the 3.6 v6 and I’m having the same issue, when I took it to dodge they told me there’s a pill leak they didn’t know where it was coming from and said only way to fix it is a new engine, 12k lol, I found your video did some research and it was the oil cooler
I was told the same. I had some issues but apparently if its gets this bad after many years i changed the radiator as well along with the oil cooler. Since then i have had zero issues. Its been running like a champ. Recently i just uploaded a video on the transmission oil change and breaks and normal oil changes and its been great.
How do yall test and make sure its not a head gasket and know for a fact it is the oil cooler? I just noticed my car start making white stuff on the antifreeze and i wana fix it before its unrepairable
Hey buddy. Great video. I have a 2017 J Grand Cherokee and there's oil in the coolant, thankfully not as bad as yours. Looks like it's been 2 years since you posted this, can I have an update? I'm concerned about the future of my JGC.
I still have the car and till this day and thankfully it hasn’t given me a issue since I fixed it. If I were you. I would do a coolant flush and top off just to confirm. If it’s very very tiny amount it’s usually the coating from the newer vehicles. If it’s almost nothing. If you have a decent amount. Just get it fixed. So far. Since I fixed it have had zero zero issues.
Do the Hemis have this same common issue? Im in the process of changing my heater core hose due to leaks, Ive heard about this issue and am paranoid now lol. Would it be pretty obvious if oil was in coolant
That’s the same questioned I asked my friend. He said it’s pointless to change out the gaskets. He said it’s better to replace the whole unit. So I mean he’s a technician at the dealership. He charges me 1/3-1/2 of the price the dealership charges. So i believe him.
My car also has the same issues. I changed the oil cooler and radiator 3 months ago and now again have the same issues. Now it is in the garage for repair.😢
Yeah I’m going to make an update video soon. It happens again to me after 3-4 years. I changed the oil cooler again. But this time it has been revised 3-4x since I last did so hopefully they have worked out the problems
Hey it’s been a while since you posted this but I just found out I have the same issue peanut butter substance in the cap . What coolant did you use the HOAT OR OAT coolant . I have a 14 5.7 .
My 2012 WK2’s engine had to be rebuilted because of this oil coolant leaking and seems after 5k km i have t go back to my mechanic because i see again oil in the coolant water….:(
It look like my uncle just got this same problem with his jeep compass,, but the garage said, there is nothing wrong.they just clean out his water bottel and that was it...I'm not a mechanic, but my uncle told me he is losing his coolant, but there are zero leaks, but it drips out his exhaust,, the oil in the engine and on the dipstick is clean, it's not mixed with coolant...its just the oil in the bottel, and the coolant slowly dripping from the exhaust...does this sound like what you had...
No. Coolant never leaks thru the exhaust from what I know. The exhaust should burn it or maybe you head gasket is bad it could be leaking thru there. However when this started for me it was just a bit in the coolant reservoir. Just a small small amount. Eventually a year in it was that. It could be nothing if the vehicle is a couple years old I know I’ve read the inside coating can cause a little bit but when you clean it out should be fun. Check it again in a month if it’s their again. Then just do the process of elimination. I ended up changing the oil cooler. That’s what caused my problems. After I changed that it was fine.
@vehiclemods quick question, I’m going thru this issue right now, just replaced the oil cooler and in the process of doing the whole flush. Did you have to change the thermostat and the radiator hoses? How long did it take you to flush everything out??? Thanks in advance
Bro this just happened to my 2019 jeep compass limited I took it to the jeep dealership they said that it was a cooler failure so they replace a cooler. They also replace the radiator and hose system. They charge me 4600 but two days later I notice that there was a light oil in the cooler system again I called the dealership and they said that it was normal for me to drive it around and take it back so they could do one more flush. I didn’t think it was normal but then I don’t know no better then four days later it happened again, peanut butter on my cooler system, take it back to the dealership. They said that it was the cooler that was defect
I just purchased a 2017 jeep trailhawk Hawn 2 weeks ago its having the same problem but I caught before it got as bad as yours. There was a milky oil ring around the coolant reservoir. It is covered by warranty and is being repaired now. On your opinion should I keep this thing or ask for refund?
I think it’s fine. Supposedly it’s a coating issue and it just does that. If you don’t see sludge building up and it stays the same I would say your fine. But that’s my opinion if your going off road hardcore and getting the engine hot just be on top of it. Do a coolant flush. If you clean it, do a flush and it comes back then I think you should really check it.
Bottoms of radiator. There is a drain screw. That’s how I did. I bought 2 radiator flush/cleaning kits from autozone. Then I flushed it again 2 more times with distilled water
@@VehicleMods it’s worse than expected. I changed thermostat, radiator, oil cooler and the radiator cap. Run the car for testing ( 108 C ) and find out that there is a mixture of coolant and oil under the oil cup. Now k will change the new oil cooler again if the mixture still there will move to the gasket.
@@mohameddiani2824 I would take it to the mechanic. Idk how to check the gaskets. I assume a compression test will help with that not sure. But I would check that first before spending even more money. I would definitely get a second opinion
I cleaned it my self a couple times before going to dealership with my friend. Which he just used a high pressure hose to get it the rest of the way. But he did mention that I got most of it. That it was pretty much fine.
the technician drained as much as he could and he hosed down the bottom connections to the radiator. Then he installed the oil cooler. Then from what i remembered he filled it up with that distilled water i think the baby water. He ran it for about 30 mins to a hour. He drained it did that twice and i believe he ran a radiator cleaner the third time before filling it up with the proper fluid.
Switch out,,Dorman makes oil cooling unit ( not plastic ) cast Aluminum...upgrade. because the oil cooling unit is plastic ( OEM ), IT WILL Happen again ),,put in a new one in 2016,,changed it again in 2021 with cast Aluminum ( only got 40,000 miles on the new plastic one in 2016 )

Good call on stopping before engine damage 👍

I have 2014 semi problem I will star doing like you send I hope works take you ✌️

@VehicleMods I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I'm having the same problem. Thank you for your post!

Such a pain to clean cooling system
Will keep overheating until you get that oil out
Just had this happen today on my new 2021 GMC Sierra 4x4 . 9600 miles in... honestly I don’t even want the damn truck anymore
So how do you know if it is just the gasket or the whole oil cooler needs replacement?
That’s the same questioned I asked my friend. He said it’s pointless to change out the gaskets. He said it’s better to replace the whole unit. So I mean he’s a technician at the dealership. He charges me 1/3-1/2 of the price the dealership charges. So i believe him.
Okay but my 2010jeep liberty don't have a oil cooler so what cud be the problem
My car also has the same issues. I changed the oil cooler and radiator 3 months ago and now again have the same issues. Now it is in the garage for repair.😢
Yeah I’m going to make an update video soon. It happens again to me after 3-4 years. I changed the oil cooler again. But this time it has been revised 3-4x since I last did so hopefully they have worked out the problems
I got this issue going on rn but idk if i should change the oil cooler or head gasket how do I test them?
What you got done to it after all ?
Hey it’s been a while since you posted this but I just found out I have the same issue peanut butter substance in the cap . What coolant did you use the HOAT OR OAT coolant . I have a 14 5.7 .
Does anyone know where the damn oil cooler is to a camaro
idk cars very well. do you mean engine oil cooler or transmission oil cooler?
Hey thanks for the info man
My 2012 WK2’s engine had to be rebuilted because of this oil coolant leaking and seems after 5k km i have t go back to my mechanic because i see again oil in the coolant water….:(

Also you might just have a small leak somewhere near by and maybe it’s taking on the exhaust.
@vehiclemods quick question, I’m going thru this issue right now, just replaced the oil cooler and in the process of doing the whole flush. Did you have to change the thermostat and the radiator hoses? How long did it take you to flush everything out??? Thanks in advance
I did end up changing the thermostat only nothing else I just did to a couple coolant flush with distilled water
Wow you got lucky it wasn't engine good luck bro !
Definitely lucky. As soon as the over heating light came on I shut the car off
Bro this just happened to my 2019 jeep compass limited I took it to the jeep dealership they said that it was a cooler failure so they replace a cooler. They also replace the radiator and hose system.

They said that it was the cooler that was defect
Did they fix it
How much was you new oil cooler housing ? And all aluminum one right ? Thx
No don’t get the aluminum one seems to fail more often. Just get the new OEM one. Jeep has revised it like 4 times now so it should be better.
Also if you order from most direct I think it’s like $200 dollars at the dealership might be like $320-350 dollars
Moparparts or oem parts direct shipping is much cheaper than going to the dealership
I just purchased a 2017 jeep trailhawk Hawn 2 weeks ago its having the same problem but I caught before it got as bad as yours. There was a milky oil ring around the coolant reservoir. It is covered by warranty and is being repaired now. On your opinion should I keep this thing or ask for refund?

But that’s my opinion if your going off road hardcore and getting the engine hot just be on top of it. Do a coolant flush. If you clean it, do a flush and it comes back then I think you should really check it.
But at the same time if they’re fixing it your good. It’s like new again I would assume like mine is. I have been fine ever since
Where did you buy the oil cooler?
I’m having the same issue with mines
Dealership but AutoZone might have it aswell
I have antifreeze in my oil, looks mixed and not good. Going to shop today
Yeah man. Be careful not a broken seal. Could be the same thing. But to be safe definitely go to a shop
What method did you do the flush? From where would you empty out the system?
Bottoms of radiator. There is a drain screw. That’s how I did. I bought 2 radiator flush/cleaning kits from autozone. Then I flushed it again 2 more times with distilled water
Take it to a shop to get a engine flushed with pressure gun to interior engine
A quick question please. Am having the same issue with my Chrysler. Do you think i need to change the radiator as well ?
Thx
If your able to flush it out well and it’s working fine, I don’t see why you should. But I ended up changing it because it had a small leak.
But if you want to be on the safe side, I don’t see why not.

Did you clean the sistem your self?
I cleaned it my self a couple times before going to dealership with my friend. Which he just used a high pressure hose to get it the rest of the way. But he did mention that I got most of it. That it was pretty much fine.
Did you flush the engine before the oil cooler change or after ?
the technician drained as much as he could and he hosed down the bottom connections to the radiator. Then he installed the oil cooler.

Good information
Dodges way of blowing motor up! 🤣🤣
when it happened, the engine ran out of oil?
No it didn’t but it was a little low but luckily I caught in time where there wasn’t any damage at all. I know I’m lucky
The cooler and plastic pipe was madecheaply by mopar
Switch out,,Dorman makes oil cooling unit ( not plastic ) cast Aluminum...upgrade. because the oil cooling unit is plastic ( OEM ),
IT WILL Happen again ),,put in a new one in 2016,,changed it again in 2021 with cast Aluminum ( only got 40,000 miles on the new plastic one in 2016 )
