This video is perfect. Shows every awful step with no bs editing that makes it look easier than it is. No loud background music. Just pure information. This man is a champion.
So i just replaced mine last night. I played and paused your video through the entire process. This vid kicked ass! i got it all back together without an issue. Great vid!
@@robertgarcia9006 My friends oil filter housing just started leaking also, he has a 2015 Dodge Grand caravan with 97,760 miles. We're planning on replacing it on Monday, that's why I am watching this video.
I'm a retired master mechanic shop owner. I live in Florida. My son called from Colorado to tell me about an oil leak on top of his engine . I told him about the filter adapter to which he said that's it ! Sent this video in case he wants to tackle it Thank you
Thank you sir, great video. I replaced mine in a 2011 with 80k miles yesterday to today. I probably spent around 4 hours actual working time. Partly because I take it slow. Mostly because it was 22* yesterday and I didn’t want to break things! Great job being a good dad, too!
Unbelievable. I own a 2013 Town and Country and had been told WHAT was wrong, but had I not seen this video I doubt that I would have taken on the task. One Sunday afternoon later, and hopefully no more drippy drip on the garage floor. Crazy simple to watch and follow. I would have been done much faster if I owned a laptop, but found it enjoyable to do a step, check the video, and do the next step. My buddy just had this done on his 2015 Charger for $600 and was thrilled. They were diagnosing Rear Main Seal before I showed him the video, saved him some serious cash just like it saved me. Beyond thrilled with what Fix It Angel has taught me and encouraged seeing what a Dad he is too. Thank you, thank you, thank you. PS.....btw, might not last but we also had a Check Engine light on since we bought this van 3 years ago. Doesn't affect much except it does keep the Remote Start from operating correctly. The light is now gone. Perhaps the two sensors under the housing were drowning in oil? At any rate, DOUBLE thanks again Fix It Angel!!!!
This is a great video. No nonsense, clear shots of what to do and, like all of us, we have other responsibilities along with wrenching on the cars. Sometimes you just gotta stop and help your family and then back to the project.. You're a great dad too.
I have watched several videos and yours provides the best angles to show all the little areas which are missed in others. Your's gives a clearer understanding and tons of little tricks like how to remove the connectos with the screw drivers. The oil cleanup vacuum. THANKS!!! Great Job Daddy!
Thanks for the video! Fixed my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan yesterday. 166k miles. Used the 2014-up style supposedly improved replacement. For some reason it also fixed the heater problem my wife had. Now the heat blows HOT. Replaced the spark plugs at the same time.
Not only are you an AMAZINGLY efficient and skilled mechanic, but you are a great Dad, too! What a perfectly detailed video of a very complicated repair! Well Done! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I typically do most my own repairs, (but currently working two jobs) so I am letting the local shop do it. Their charge will be just under $600 and he said it's about $175 labor and the rest parts. After watching this video, I see I'm glad I'm letting him do this repair. Thank you, I enjoyed your video.
Thanks man I did the job today on a 2015 caravan, took me 4 hrs start to finish and I did the plugs too. Your directions were absolutely spot on with everything,
I am finding these videos in 2020. These are just what I needed. The video clarity of each part of the process is amazing. Keep making these videos. We need more guys like you.
Excellent video and much appreciated. Same exact problem on my 2015, same exact fix. Took me about 3.5 hours, and I'm super meticulous. Again, much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to make it.
Angel Gob bless you sir! I followed the video and I cant believe I was able to fix it myself! I saved a lot of money because of you! thank you for sharing your gift to RUclips! hope you and your family are well !!
Wow man!!! What professionalism!!! Cleaned all that residual oil and coolant too?? You'd be my mechanic for life man. You just don't get that kind of professionalism any more. Excellent job.
I watched 4 or 5 different video walkthroughs in prepping to do this job. This one is by far the best. Thanks for taking time to highlight the subtle details like how to get wire connectors loose, make the job go a lot smoother.
This is 100% the most informative repair video without all the BS filler. Huge thanks for making this. I'm going to tackle this project next weekend with this video as my guide. PS. Great editing. Really made this guide fluid and painless.
Finished the job and changed the plugs while I was at it. I'm now getting a misfire... Hoping it's one of the injector connectors or plugs in the back so that I don't have to take the upper intake off again. 😑
Thank you for a very informative video. I completed this repair yesterday. I did not drain the coolant - I pinched off the coolant hose with vise grips. Also, I did not disconnect the fuel line. I used a bungee cord to pull the lower manifold out of the way and it worked well. The replacement went very smoothly and I used an aluminum replacement part. Hopefully, I wont have to do this job again!
This part has been a total nightmare for me. I have had two covers break when removing. The first time I was able to get the broken one off and it just entailed buying a new cap. Now a second one broke and when I tried getting remaining part off part of the housing broke and I am now looking at having to change the whole oil housing. I can get the part about $150 but I am sure this will close to 1000 bucks with labor and taxes. The person who authorized this design should be dragged out of his home and hanged by his eyelids until he blinks. I only hand tightened it but it still broke :(
Great video. The other "professional" video I watched, they remove the brackets up front. Its very difficult to access the lower bolts for those 2 brackets. This video he removes the bracket in the rear of the upper intake, it's only 1 more bolt and easily accessible. Thank you for taking the time to record this.
Wow! So great... our town and country is still barely under warranty, but this particular repair isn’t covered, so they quoted me $800+ with parts and labor. By the time I’m done thanks to this helpful video I’ll have only spent $270 with parts and everything... thank you!
Had this exact issue with the same make and model. Auto shop wanted $1,000 for parts and labor. I did it for parts around $225 and got a new 1/4" drive torque wrench and set of T sockets out of the deal. Thanks and your videos are the best.
You, sir, are a very patient mechanic. I didn't realize until the end of video that I watched your whole video. I enjoyed your works and your camera work too. I would love to have someone like you in my neighborhood haha
U r a pro man. Very clean and well done job. Thanks to your video and the way you simplified, I saved $$$ on labor. Dealer wanted to charge me $790 on labor only and the part was $344. U r awesome man!
Thank you. Your camera work and your mechanical skills are awesome! What a great video. I went with the Dorman oil cooler replacement (part number 926-959, does not come with new sensors) for my wife's 2014 Town and Country. It's been back on the road for about 2 weeks and so far it has been good.
Great job. I have the same problem on a 2016 town and country. I was a mechanic when I was young, and it was much easier to access the oil filter of cars from 1980 on down.
I hope you do not mind me sharing your video. I purchased an oem oil cooler on Ebay for $223 and shared the video address in my Feedback for the Chrysler 3.6 oil cooler. Also not to scare anyone with the cost of the oil cooler, Chrysler aftermarket 3.6L oil coolers sell for as low as $52.24 on Ebay . Then some of the oil coolers come with the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets also sold on Ebay or Amazon. You could not asked for a better video to complete your project! Thank you √ Fix It Angel!
I am so grateful for this video, I first replaced the Oring & seal kit from Mopar. The oil leaked again after a few hundred miles. This time I ordered a complete Oil Housing Adapter Kit from AA Ignition, part # GWA422 . I closely examined the one Oring, comparing it to Mopar Oring. The after market unit Oring was fatter! The dimensions of a is given in OD - ID - W , typically small Orings are 2.5 - 3.0 W. I don't have tools to measure these Orings, however my caliper showed that the after market ring was thicker. It took a little more pressure to seat the new part, I dabbed a drop of oil on the Oring and it felt snug. I hope this works!
My 2016 rt caravan started having a major oil leak right after an oil change and when I got home there was a big pool of oil. It's been towed to the dealership but I believe the oil filter housing cooling assembly was cracked by the person doing the oil change. I did go back to the oil change place and they told me its a faulty Chrysler plastic part and not there fault. Ill post back if my warranty covers the work.
@@rspec122 I took the van to the dealership who diagnosed it as a pinched gasket and it was a 10 dollar part and easy fix. My engine was covered in oil on the top of the motor so things had to be removed for the oil to get cleaned up. Mr.Lube paid for the engine cleanup and the part but fought me very hard and didn't want the work to get done at the dealership but there was no way in hell I'd let Mr. lube touch my van again. Mr Lube came to my house to to clean up the oil spill on my driveway but all they did was put down some powdered clay then never came back.
Just failed on my 2014 Journey. This should definitely be a recall. And to make things worse...it has to go back in tomorrow because the tech messed something up putting it back together, and now I smell coolant and the res is empty. Sigh. Also probably reused gaskets.
Thanks for the video, it's SUPER ! My only offer would be to add 1. torque specs (if possible) on screen since these screw bolts are particular about how low the torque is and their sequence. AND YES, 2. do have a vacuum and remove coolant BEFORE starting job !
I always get kick out of when anything goes wrong people are saying how horrible the company that built it is and their should be a lawsuit or recall. I have worked on every car and truck make that their is and they all have their good and bad. My family owns 4 chrysler mini vans and we love them. To me they are easier to work on then most makes. Good video man.
WOW!! wish more videos were out there like that! Thank you! I dont have all the tools as Im not a mechanic but seeing this at least gives me a GOOD sense/feel of what the hell I'm going to need lol! thank you!!!
Ours had exactly same issue. This is an excellent video. The part ran us about 162 but make sure to order the gasket sets and do the plugs at the same time. The work is slightly time consuming but easy. Poor design of an oil cooler and if you have a guy who reefs on the filter housing it can crack, or in our case the gaskets in the bottom will blow out. Sure enough the oil cooler issue fixed the oil leak. My Jeep has same cooler... not happy about it. Anyway this is a great video and you don’t need all the tools listed. The only specialty sockets needed are the star socket (inverted and regular). The rest can be done with a few wrenches and screwdrivers. The vacuum trick is nice but save the hassle. Use a syringe or meat basting bulb. Suck out the oil.
doing the repair of this cooler unit on a 2012 dodge journey right now, this video provided wonderful information, direction, advice, coupled with some other videos too, i have turned a $2600Cdn fix into a $450Cdn Fix (including full price oil and such instead of discount stuff) i have a mechanic buddy coming to help, but i actually feel i can do this my own tonight, and be done, and then just enjoy a visit with my buddy tomorrow.
looking into to buying one of these for my young family, thanks for the details and torque specs. top notch dad and technician from start to finish man.
You can upgrade the 2013 pentastar oil filter housing to the 2014 and eliminate the spring failure inside the housing that will cause the spring to shoot out after the plastic gets brittle! Did it with my 2013 dodge avenger. It will look bigger than the old one but set flush with no clearance issues.
Simply Amazing! One of the best videos I've seen that gets right to the point with its own flair and finess. Love that he shared his daily life with is, which I thought was cool! Garage is sweet man! Keep the videos coming! 🤙
Absolutely amazing repair video I wish everybody did theirs like this. No stupid talk, plenty of explanation including list of tools. Subscribing for sure
This was in my opinion the best detailed repairs made to a Dodge/Chrysler 3.6L engine. My oil cooler is not leaking, but I am wondering if I should replace it when I replace my spark plugs and radiator hoses in the summer. My 2011 T&C has 110,000 miles on it now.
Angel, you've got the best vid on internet on how to do this by far!! My 2015 T&C (3.6LVVT motor) injector electrical connectors were slightly different but same basic principle to cause release as yours (pull up on the red lock tab first). Also, at 15:00 you state 71 in-lb torque for lower intake manifold - couple of references I've seen call out 106 in-lb just like for the oil cooler. Lastly, my same references called out 62 in-lb for upper intake manifold. Not saying who is right but know there is some other torque info out there ;) Also, there's a specific torqueing sequence for each part that might be useful to post. Again, SUPER job - excellent pix, process, tool, and fastener info!!!!! Please keep 'em coming.
Perfect video for my 2011 T+C. It made a big job very manageable. Including details, with tools and torques, Thank you! I'll volunteer a couple of more things. First, (after depressurizing), disconnnect the fuel rail at left front instead of removing each injector. Also, my intake plenum is stamped 5-7 N-M, or 45-65 in-lbs.
Thank you so much for the very informative video. I tackled this project yesterday. Thanks to you, I had all the tools needed. The project went very smooth.
Yeah definitely should be a recall on the design. Less then 20k miles on a 17 200c and it’s leaking glad I found your video showed me I do not want to tackle the task. Gonna get rid of the car.
👍👍👍I also used your top notch video and the provided info to repair my van. I didn't get as much oil out of the part as you did causing the mess. 5-8 hours for my first time(with beer breaks), probably 4-5 next time. Will be on the look out for a vehicle for sale with this issue if I ever want a charger or w.h.y. Thank you, saved me about 1000$ with plugs change out at 90,000 KM'S on 2014 caravan base model, and during a time of unemployment due to Covid19 scare in Canada. Peace!
Thanks a lot especially for the following details. 1. How to use pick to remove fuel injector. 2. How to handle lower intake without taking off fuel line. 3. How to use vaccum to remove the oils in the valley
I came across your video because I'm learning the pentastar engine and I have a couple of them I will be working on that have that oil leak. but what made me subscribe is you put in that clip of you sending your daughter off to school.
A very thank you for posting this video God bless you and your family. I watched more than 25 times to understand and install the new adapter. Some points 1. Ensure the screws are installed in the cross and square pattern essential for gasket fit. 2. Be patience with the electrical connector. 3. 3. Do not use the tools or socket that are loose. you don't want them to fall in the holes. I almost made that mistake. 4. When tightening the screws torque is important. But hey this save me $1000 bucks that dealer wanted.
Wow! That was a really well put together video. Showed everything clearly and had some humor. I did notice you put 5w30 oil in. I believe it's supposed to be 5w20.
Holly shit. That’s a lot of work. I’m not 100% sure but I think I might have to do this to my 2010 town and country it’s leaking a lot of oil. But this was an awesome video great job man.
This video is perfect. Shows every awful step with no bs editing that makes it look easier than it is. No loud background music. Just pure information. This man is a champion.
So i just replaced mine last night. I played and paused your video through the entire process. This vid kicked ass! i got it all back together without an issue. Great vid!
How long did it take you? I will be doing this job on a 14 Charger same motor.
High Gravity Adventures what year van do you have? Also how many miles before this usually occurs?

how working after two years? you replaced only gaskets? or whole oil housing?
How much antifreeze does it take to fill it back up?

Fit it Angel is a professional. I didn't drain the coolant. So far no issues after installing Fel-pro o-rings on the original cooler.
awesome brother you did it. im happy my video guided you. it makes me feel good to know this.have a nice day

so true
You’re not a true auto technician if you aren’t cursing.
Keep swearing until you get the magic swear word then whatever your working on will come off.

This should be covered by a recall. My 2014 Chrysler 300 missed the warranty by a couple months. This part should have lasted a lifetime
Same here my caravan 2014 missed the warranty by couple months as well, They want $900 for fix it should be covered as faulty part.

The work is slightly time consuming but easy. Poor design of an oil cooler and if you have a guy who reefs on the filter housing it can crack, or in our case the gaskets in the bottom will blow out. Sure enough the oil cooler issue fixed the oil leak. My Jeep has same cooler... not happy about it. Anyway this is a great video and you don’t need all the tools listed. The only specialty sockets needed are the star socket (inverted and regular). The rest can be done with a few wrenches and screwdrivers. The vacuum trick is nice but save the hassle. Use a syringe or meat basting bulb. Suck out the oil.
doing the repair of this cooler unit on a 2012 dodge journey right now, this video provided wonderful information, direction, advice, coupled with some other videos too, i have turned a $2600Cdn fix into a $450Cdn Fix (including full price oil and such instead of discount stuff) i have a mechanic buddy coming to help, but i actually feel i can do this my own tonight, and be done, and then just enjoy a visit with my buddy tomorrow.
looking into to buying one of these for my young family, thanks for the details and torque specs. top notch dad and technician from start to finish man.
Get a honda or toyota. Dont buy this fiat Chrysler dodge junk
I wish this guy is my neighbor
haha, same wish here! :))

Yah me too
The House next to His is for sale .
Go buy it. 😂
You can upgrade the 2013 pentastar oil filter housing to the 2014 and eliminate the spring failure inside the housing that will cause the spring to shoot out after the plastic gets brittle! Did it with my 2013 dodge avenger. It will look bigger than the old one but set flush with no clearance issues.
Simply Amazing! One of the best videos I've seen that gets right to the point with its own flair and finess. Love that he shared his daily life with is, which I thought was cool! Garage is sweet man! Keep the videos coming! 🤙
OMG!!! Well done sir!!! I'm gonna hug my mechanic next time I see him!
That was awesome sir. You know what you are doing for sure. Thank you. And your a great dad also. Keep on being a good person
Absolutely amazing repair video I wish everybody did theirs like this. No stupid talk, plenty of explanation including list of tools. Subscribing for sure
This was in my opinion the best detailed repairs made to a Dodge/Chrysler 3.6L engine. My oil cooler is not leaking, but I am wondering if I should replace it when I replace my spark plugs and radiator hoses in the summer. My 2011 T&C has 110,000 miles on it now.
Angel, you've got the best vid on internet on how to do this by far!! My 2015 T&C (3.6LVVT motor) injector electrical connectors were slightly different but same basic principle to cause release as yours (pull up on the red lock tab first). Also, at 15:00 you state 71 in-lb torque for lower intake manifold - couple of references I've seen call out 106 in-lb just like for the oil cooler. Lastly, my same references called out 62 in-lb for upper intake manifold. Not saying who is right but know there is some other torque info out there ;) Also, there's a specific torqueing sequence for each part that might be useful to post. Again, SUPER job - excellent pix, process, tool, and fastener info!!!!! Please keep 'em coming.
Perfect video for my 2011 T+C. It made a big job very manageable. Including details, with tools and torques, Thank you!
I'll volunteer a couple of more things. First, (after depressurizing), disconnnect the fuel rail at left front instead of removing each injector. Also, my intake plenum is stamped 5-7 N-M, or 45-65 in-lbs.
Thank you so much for this guide! I had to do this today and he saved my butt. Much easier doing it with you step by step
welcome Tim!!
Thank you so much for the very informative video. I tackled this project yesterday. Thanks to you, I had all the tools needed. The project went very smooth.
There is a lot to learn in each of your videos. You are a good person. You share your experience with us.
Excellent job with the video and repair techniques! There should be more like this.
Great video walked me through fixing oil filter housing. Ended up knock sensor replacing cable because fluid had gotten into it and clamp broke.
You are an intelligent man
Yeah definitely should be a recall on the design. Less then 20k miles on a 17 200c and it’s leaking glad I found your video showed me I do not want to tackle the task. Gonna get rid of the car.
Wow first time I've ever seen a oil filter housing replaced. You definitely know your shit man. Awesome video as always.
👍👍👍I also used your top notch video and the provided info to repair my van. I didn't get as much oil out of the part as you did causing the mess. 5-8 hours for my first time(with beer breaks), probably 4-5 next time. Will be on the look out for a vehicle for sale with this issue if I ever want a charger or w.h.y. Thank you, saved me about 1000$ with plugs change out at 90,000 KM'S on 2014 caravan base model, and during a time of unemployment due to Covid19 scare in Canada. Peace!
This is amazing, so helpful! Thank you for your work to make this very helpful video!
Fix It Angel you are the real deal boss!
Love your "distractions" and your choice language sometimes - you make it a real life video
Hey, thanks for this video. Just did this on my daughters Town and Country and it went off without a hitch.
WHO designs this stuff!!?? They should be drug out back......
As for you Fix It Angel..you sir impressed me greatly!
Thanks a lot especially for the following details.
1. How to use pick to remove fuel injector.
2. How to handle lower intake without taking off fuel line.
3. How to use vaccum to remove the oils in the valley
Welcome brother
Aww man! This is an excellent video. I am about to work on mine and this is awesome. Thanks for loading this video.
Vacuum trick: ingenuous!
I came across your video because I'm learning the pentastar engine and I have a couple of them I will be working on that have that oil leak. but what made me subscribe is you put in that clip of you sending your daughter off to school.
Very well diagnosis of engine oil leak, excellent job bro
A very thank you for posting this video God bless you and your family. I watched more than 25 times to understand and install the new adapter.
Some points 1. Ensure the screws are installed in the cross and square pattern essential for gasket fit. 2. Be patience with the electrical connector. 3. 3. Do not use the tools or socket that are loose. you don't want them to fall in the holes. I almost made that mistake. 4. When tightening the screws torque is important. But hey this save me $1000 bucks that dealer wanted.
Thank you! Followed this video as a step by step on my wife's van today - it was very helpful!!
Wow! That was a really well put together video. Showed everything clearly and had some humor.
I did notice you put 5w30 oil in. I believe it's supposed to be 5w20.
Kevin Blank oil type doesn’t really matter lol
Holly shit. That’s a lot of work. I’m not 100% sure but I think I might have to do this to my 2010 town and country it’s leaking a lot of oil. But this was an awesome video great job man.
FYI: this is the same repair steps for a 2012 dodge journey 3.6 as well.Good walk through Angel
Excellent work, you're a professional technical in my eyes. God bless
