Thanks and yes wish had added the reseting of the light several folks have asked about that! We might edit the video and repost it with those touches oil filter and oil light reset, thanks for watching the video and checking out the channel.
Thanks, I appreciate it, and thanks for the comment, people are half and half on the oil in the filter, on my trucks i always have since the filters are huge, on the small ones usually i leave dry, I dont think your wrong either way, the internet is full of folks passionate on either way. Thanks again
@samanthathomas2044 We always take the used oil to the local autoparts store. Depending on where u live if there is an advance auto, autozone, orielys, pepboys, carquest and some napa and walmart tire and auto will accept used oil and dispose of it for free.
Put a 1” neo magnet on the bottom of the oil filter this will trap most of the heavy metal filings in the oil filter preventing damage to your engine parts.
Thanks for the comment, hopefully folks never have to get to the point that they have heavy metal filings, but if they do the magnet could help, the same could be said to apply to the base of the oil pan if you have the version with a metal one
Thanks, i have used them on my trucks in the past, wouldnt use one on a vehicle that goes offroad though, would rather deal with a mess to change the oil than loose the oil due to a induced failure from trail riding. Thanks though for the suggestion
Great video.. maybe edit it with some overlay text telling the drain plug nut size, filter part number whether it’s mopar, Royal Purple etc.. and also filter wrench. 👍
Thanks, we take our old oil to our local autoparts store, we use a couple 5 gallon oil containers, to store the old oil till they are full then we run them up to either advance auto, autozone, or Walmart if they have a tire center, they all have oil disposal for free! Thanks for checking out the video and our channel!
So for the oil filter, you just hand tighten that only, don’t use a tool like I’ll need to get it off? Only use a tool to slightly tighten the oil pan bolt?
Great question. As to the oil filter once you thread it on and the gasket makes contact and feels tight to turn, it just needs another 1/4 turn which can be done by hand no wrench needed, for the drain plug it is tightened by a socket wrench till snug, if you have a torque wrench its rating is 20ft lbs, thanks for checking out the channel
Marco, The engine takes 5 quarts - we use valvoline 5w30 full synthetic. It meets the Chrysler api sn plus oil rating for their 2.0 turbo engine. Hope that helps and thanks for checking out the channel
Yes, change the filter each time, remember its what keeps the oil free of any particulate that you dont want circulating through the engine. So oil, filter, tire rotation on the same 6000 mile interval will keep things going right. Thanks for the question and thanks for checking out the channel
hello do anyone know where the throlley body its on this jeep same engine ? no one has a video online and it giving me issues \check electronic throlley body message car goes on a limp mode thanks alot
Have either of you considered a new front driveshaft? I was wheeling this weekend at Gulches ORV park and the owner asked me if I had any issues yet. While I haven’t replaced it yet, I did get under there and see just how close the driveshaft was to contacting the transfer case at the joint. Thankfully no damage yet. Have you guys looked at yours? If so, any damage with either setup? Take care.
Matt, I have done the research on it just in case but right now Both the jeeps are not getting close, i just looked again this morning and there are no marks on the drive shaft where it would have come in contact with the crossmember i think once you get above 3 inches in lift its a different story but so far so good and on the last trip i had the suspension fully flexed and compressed a couple times. The pictures i have seen from that park look really cool, hope you had a good time the weather with weekend was perfect
@@FischerJeepAdventures it was pretty awesome. The owner was extremely kind. He gave me a tour of the place and spotted for me on several challenging obstacles. There was stuff there that the Jeep may have been able to do, but I wasn’t willing to risk. We did the easy, moderate, and a few challenging trails. I’ll leave the skull and crossbones ☠️ trails to the buggies and built rigs. If you want to challenge yourself and learn your rig it’s a great place to test it. We had a blast. I was nervous on a good bit of it because my Jeep is my daily, but other than a few rim rubs I came out without damage. My wife and daughter loved it. There were some off camber spots that make you question life, but everything is optional. They’ve got bypasses for all of the crazy stuff.
Those type trails are the perfect spot, as you said to test what your comfortable with and to truely see how capable your vehicle is, especially if you can take the family too! I feel like not everyone thinks about risks deliberately as they do things often resulting in a near miss or damage and costly repairs, so good on you for picking your trails based on what your comfortable with
Hey, if you have the three coolant reservoirs in your engine bay, sounds like you have the etorque engine set up. The main coolant reservoir is for the radiator and motor and the other two are for the system that cools the etorque system electric motor and the 48 volt battery!
Yes it takes the mopar (OAT)organic acid technology coolant, Its a 50/50 mix you can get it from the dealer, I got mine just to keep in the jeep just in case, on amazon, way cheaper than the dealer, i am sure there are others that meet the spec but i try and use factory recommended stuff it at all possible just in case!
Oh no, don’t beat yourself up, it happens, best part about a lesson like that is you will never do it again!! Hopefully the spill was easy enough to clean up.
I have not seen any oil burn off on my last few oil changes. How many miles does your jeep have? That may have an impact as the mileage increases and the piston ring tolerances change you can see some oil use above when it was relatively new
@@FischerJeepAdventures it’s a 2023 and now has about 16k miles on it. If I read what you said correctly it’s pretty common when they are new to burn some oil and once I get more miles on it, it doesn’t burn as much?
No its the opposite a new engine should not burn any oil and as they get older they tend to use more oil but usually you dont see that until the 50 to 75000 mile range. If your at 16k and see oil loss at 3-4k I would try doing this, switch to valvoline advanced full synthetic 5w-30 it also has the sn plus rating needed for the 2.0 turbo. Change the oil, add the appropriate amount go for a drive and let the motor cool down all the way like it would be if left in the driveway overnight. Then check the oil with a cold engine and record where it is. Then i would do the same thing every thousand miles just to document the level, just make sure the vehicle is level and the engine is cold to be consistent. The reason for the cold check is the modern motors are so tight they can hold quite a bit in the block after use giving you a false oil level reading, meaning it seems there is less oil than there really is as its coating the motor internal surfaces. A cold engine will allow the majority to drain back into the pan giving you a more accurate reading. As long as your new jeep isnt smoking upon start up or while running I bet following that process might resolve your concern
Well the thing is my wife’s Kia sportage 2023 I used the same oil in it and when I checked it the other day it was 1 qt low. As far as the Jeep goes it did blow a puff of smoke on start up, but it didn’t smell like oil, more like water vapor, but I had the muffler delete and went on a 2500 mile trip and put the muffler back on and haven’t noticed the puff, on that trip I checked it at 1k miles and then at 1500 and then the next day when I got home 2500sh miles and it seemed normal fill line, but I used a different oil in the Jeep than the pennzoil. I went up to 5/20 and a different brand. I have the 3.6, 2in lift with 315 tire but they aweigh 70lbs, and 4.88 gears. Front bumper and winch, my jeeps oil runs anywhere between 230-250 temps, my transmission before the gears I noticed got up to 220 a few times because I live in Utah and all the mountains. I’ll keep an eye on it like you said and if need be go up to 5/30.
The big issue is the sn plus designation in the oil specs on the bottle, the sn plus which is specific to the gas turbo oil spec for Chrysler. The only difference between 5w30 and 5w20 is the weight of the oil or its viscosity levels at cold temps, the 5w20 will flow better in cold temps, I am always a believer in putting in what the manufacturer recommends, so if you live in a warm place you may want to consider changing the oil, if you live in a cold climate your probably fine till spring. I am sure there are plenty of folks that say oil is oil, drive it 3000 miles and change it and they are right to some degree, but 4 $75.00 in a $50,000.00 jeep i might put whats supposed to be in it back in it. Good luck and thanks for checking put the channel!
