@@towzone100 No problem, glad I could help! It was pretty cold! 😆 coil packs was a great idea, 30k miles on the upgrade of mine so far, not leaking a drop. Should’ve came from the factory with it. 🤷🏻♂️
Just did this on my wife's 18 grand Cherokee. Took me 3.5 hr. But the 5qt of oil blowing out in 20 miles has stopped. Not a drop in over 80 miles. Wish I'd come across this sooner. But because I had to replace a coil pack on the passenger side I pretty much knew how to get the upper and lower intake off.
@@blacklabelperformance the thing is until it's a safety issue there most likely won't be a recall. It was almost a safety issue on her jeep. Oil was on the rear tires and the rear window was covered.
@coyotesnper oh wow! I caught mine when I went to change my wife’s oil. The transmission was covered in oil and most of the undercarriage. I told my wife if it ever catches fire 1. Get out. 2. Wait about 10 mins to call the fire dept. 🤣🤣🤣
@@blacklabelperformance She's a hospice travel nurse and and averages between 100-250 miles a day. It let loose on hers with very little warning. The first thing that she said happened was a warning came on and said Stay/Stop currently unavailable. I'm going say cause oil level was getting low. Then a couple miles further it said oil pressure was low at a stop sign. But when driving it went away. Luckily she was only a couple miles from home. When I checked it, it was 5 qts low. Upon inspection of the old cooler, the filter tube oring was hard and cracked, and one of the others was just bad and missing pieces.
@coyotesnper 😱😱 5 qts low!! Glad you caught it! Especially when close to home than 100 miles away!! Mine had 97,000ish miles on when it when out. Yours?
Nope, found no oil in my coolant. I’m guessing the oil side o-ring on mine was the only culprit, if yours mixed you must’ve had multiple o-rings fail on the housing, or a crack in the plastic in between the oil and coolant.
@@blacklabelperformance that’s what I’m hoping for. It seems to be a common symptom for this common failure. I’ll report back later. Wish me luck and thanks for this video.
It is indeed, they should’ve never installed plastic as an oil filter housing! Plastic+multiple heat cycles = catastrophe. Let me know how it goes! I’m glad I could help!
Sorry major fail here. You certainly.could have cleaned all that oil with rags n brake cleen. So now How are you now going know if its leaking again ??t. spend more time cleaning.
Well when the camera died, I did indeed use rags and brake kleen. I didn’t want to be back down there again! Plus all mating surfaces were cleaned and scraped also!
I would consider over tightening as just placing the socket on the filter cap. 😂 but in all honesty as soon as you feel any resistance if you still have the plastic housing, I would advise you to stop. There’s no need for much tightness as the O-ring is sealing the filter cap.
@@ZGDX_Smiling_ 18ft.lbs. Is the factory torque spec. There is a seal on these filter caps. Anything from 10-15ft.lbs. Is more than sufficient. The plastic certainly is not a great design. But when you see low mileage engines having these leaks, it is likely from the cap being over tightened during the service. Hope this information is helpful to someone else. I recommend at the very least to get a torque wrench and practice good measure when servicing an engine.
@@JoseTrejo1 Just had this happen on my wifes Trailhawk. I did the oil change, filter, new o-ring, snugged the cap up. It was doing just fine for about a month and the other day a big ass puddle of oil on the ground. Shit will not seal now. Gotta love the engineers for the PLASTIC housing....or the fact that is not even a traditional oil filter. Yep lets change something that works great on every other vehicle. You know what I mean though, simple metal filter that screws into the block itself or a separate housing also made of metal.
Great video. Thanks for indurign the cold to make it. I went the set further and replaced the coil packs as well. LOL

You’re a life saver, like you said. No videos like this on my 2017 GC 3.6L engine
Exactly. They’ve got videos of the 3.6L in other makes and models but not the Grand Cherokee. Glad I could help!!
Currently experiencing this with my 2017 GC…there should of been a recall cuz this is happening so much to a lot of Wranglers and GCs

Most definitely should be a recall from FCA. Glad to hear you found it sooner than later! 👍

Why the he11 would Chrysler have a oil filter on top of the engine?
I’ve been trying to figure out the same thing. 😆 I’m thinking job insurance.
I HAVE A 2017 DURANGO, WHATS THE PART # FOR THE OIL COOLER, TRYING TO GET THE CORRECT #, SEEN DIFFERENT ONES.
The one I replaced here comes as a kit with the oil cooler. Dorman Part # 926-959 I believe is what you’re referring to, let me know if that helps!
Man!!! Thank U!!!!
Very welcome! Glad I could help!
Did you find oil in your coolant also?
I found oil in my coolant but luckily no coolant in the oil. I’m hoping this is my issue. I’m going to tear this apart today.

Rainmans Ray repair has done 3 videos on this beginning to end.
Well hope you enjoyed mine as well! Maybe something I did that was previously missed by another 🤷🏻♂️
OMG you watched that one too. I also comment on his 45 days backed ordered of the Vapor Canister Filter for the Fuel system.
@@blacklabelperformance There isn't an easy way to do this job at all.
Looks like that'll cost $1,500 if someone took it to a shop to get it done.
Oh most definitely. Probably more nowadays at $90/hr labor.
they are crap and people still keep buying them. unbelievable!
What isn’t 💩 🎉
Lots if people have posted this.
Hope this one was informative for you as well! Thanks for watching!
It was very informative thank you! 👏🏼

@blacklabelperformance great job then! Just making sure bc i been through it myself!
@@evansilverberg8295most definitely, one time was enough for that, especially when it was 29° outside. 🥶
Stop over tightening the oil filter cap
What is over tighten. Rainman Ray Repair did the same repair and replacement on a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica.
I would consider over tightening as just placing the socket on the filter cap. 😂 but in all honesty as soon as you feel any resistance if you still have the plastic housing, I would advise you to stop. There’s no need for much tightness as the O-ring is sealing the filter cap.

Doing the same on my wife’s trailhawk except it’s a 21 with 50k miles how is this not a recall
Chrysler crap.
Yep, should’ve never used plastic.
