Where is the PCV valve on a Chrysler 3.2 and 3.6 engine? 

This dude is a master mechanic.....he should be a Teacher/Instructor....explained the process step by step.....WOW!!!!! OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!!!!

Just finished changing mine. Man this was tremendously helpful. Could not have done it without this

Never seen anything like that before. You did an outstanding job of explaining and overviewing the system. Nice camera work too! Thanks!

Appreciate the time you take to break down your work and film it! You have no idea how helpful videos like yours are!

You are by far the best at automotive videos.

This was the best walkthrough on the PCV, thanks so much for all the useful information

This site is off tha chain,this was my 1st roller/rocker replacement and MotorCity did it for me.THANKS MotorCity You're awesome.

I am literally about to perform this very maintenance procedure on my 2014 Town Country _this weekend_ ; and you literally just saved me from scratching my head and thumbing around online needlessly. Plus, you gave me an irrefutable reason for getting a new -toy- tool! What is there not to like about this video! Translation: Liked? Yes. Subscribed? YES! LOL. Thanks for the great video. Major time-saver.

WOW...Blown away again with another professionally made video from David..Keep em coming. I now have the confidence to replace the PCV valve in my FWD 2015 RAM C/V Tradesman video... Keep up the great work!

You are the best teacher I've ever come across. You are good keep it up man thanks we need more like you.

Excellent video! Love all the background info on the parts.

Thank you! It's nice to see you're still making repair vids.

Excellent explanation of changing the PCV, how it works and having an actual 3.6 liter engine for reference. Thanks for showing the proper tools also.

Another super helpful video! Thank you for the great camera angles and clear explanations.

Came across this video looking for torque specs for PCV valve. Plenty of useful info on your channel, watching videos like this over the years, and much courage. I went from getting screwed by sloppy mechanics to advanced repairs and engine swaps myself. Thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

Ron S. Gotta laugh a little on this one. I've been doing my own mechanic work for 45 years. Thought i would change plugs on my 2013 Charger. No biggie I thought. Didn't get into it very far before realizing...hey this isn't my "68" Charger..what the heck??? Found your MotorCity Mechanic site. You made it look so easy. Took a while but everything went very, very' smoothly thanks to your video. Very well done. Step by step instructions, the order of teardown is perfect. Very well presented. Should have been a public speaker. LOL. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

You make that look really easy. I just replaced mine maybe 15 minutes ago on my 2013 wrangler. Tight tolerance is no joke. I wasn't able to find a small ratchet like yours, but I had a 1/4" ratchet with a 360 degree swiveling head and I was able to fit that in to break them loose. Took me a couple hours to get it out and back in. That's no joke...quite crazy. Tomorrow I'm doing the spark plugs and ignition coils since I'm at 105K mikes. I wanted to say thank you for your video series on the 3.6 liter. I've done a few repairs and your videos are by far the best. Thanks again for the help. Oh, when are you guys going to put out t-shirts or hats? I'd love to rock one.

I love you're videos. Very detailed and walked me thru my oil filter/cooler housing replacement on my 3.6. Thanks man. I'm subscribed 😊

That was the first tutorial I watch all the way through. Great description and detail. Really thorough valid no doubt I could follow dudes class

Thanks Dave. Your video's are much appreciated.

you made it so simple with step by step directions. also thanks for explaining the engine position.

For those who have a 3.6 Wrangler read carefully, such details are not available anywhere even in Chrysler Service info so save yourself the hassle 1- The PCV is on the right/passenger bank, mounted in the back facing the firewall, there is absolutely no clearance for a traditional 1/4 drive ratchet + T25 Torx bit to be used in the removal of the 2 screws, the only tool gonna work for you is 7:17 a T25 bit ratchet. 2- There is noway of accessing the screws from the Top of the engine nor from the bottom so in order of making an access you have to remove the battery, TPIM, air box,EVAP canister purge valve and you have to slide the power steering reservoir towards the inside, once you remove all these things tilt up the plastic carrier from the firewall side, there is no need to remove it completely as the TIMP harness will be sitting on it from the front side yet this will give you enough clearance to accomplish the job. Good luck

I found the PCV valve without too much trouble, but on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee I was at a loss as to how to get to those two fasteners. Bit ratchets...now that's a pro tip. Thanks David, great video, I think it will save me a lot of aggravation and save my wife having to listen to me curse and swear. I'm sure your aware of this but that upper intake manifold is a real booger to get off as well on my vehicle. Tough to reach all the fasteners for a not so tall guy like me and those brackets on the left cylinder block are an absolute pain to get to. I'm sure there is some trick to that as well...but I could figure it out. The only answer I had was to buy the longest thinest double end wrench I could find and slowly work those nuts loose an 1/8th of a turn at a time. Thanks for the video!

Just a Shadetree mechanic - This is the best by far thank you so much.

Just did mine RWD. Charger. 15 minutes. Thanks Mopar Man

Your professionalism is mind blowing 🤯...... got a 2012 jeep wrangler with a bad oil cooler. Gushing coolant from the seal under the cooler. I would have sent it in to my mechanic but with 120k on the clock I figured it was time for plugs, coils and fuel injectors too. Thanks for your help!!

As always - I appreciate your time. The 3.5 motor eats oil - plugs are dry and no blow back on air filter - no smoke. I guess it's time to change the PCV valve.

My warranty is up on my 2015 dodge charger and you have saved me a thousand dollars and counting, so far. I changed my spark plugs and intake seals and now I'll be saving an additional $100 for this pcv valve.

man you are doing awesome videos. I have experience but love looking at your videos just for the hell of it.

Thanks, David! I have a 2013 Avenger with 137,000 miles and used your spark plug video to do replace those, and couldn't find the PCV valve, though I had to remove its hose to do the spark plugs! Very different design than most, but seemingly well designed. No issues with this engine thus far. Thanks again. YOU ROCK!

Excellent detail. The end is the info I really needed. I'm getting a lot of oil back up in the intake manifold and now I know what to look for when I pull the PCV off. (I'm only at 80k).

Thanks for the video. Mine being the transverse motor and the way you videoed the repair was excellent and will allow me to save money over someone else to do it. Thanks.

thank you! I have the 2014 Ram truck with the 3.6. I only have 41,000 miles so I am not due yet. That engine runs great.............never thought it needed more power.

Awesome video, Dave! Getting ready to replace right side rockers/lifters. Cool to get a look at the back side of the engine - it's tight back there. Thanks once again for your outstanding work!

I just turned over 75k I think I’m going early. Thanks man!

You will be my go to guy since there is not a Haynes maint. manual for my 2012 Durango 3.6. I was able to change condenser/transmission cooler by referencing you videos. Keep them coming. Thanks!!

This guy is good !!! I have watch him just to watch him...

Saved hours of research in one vid

Pain in the rear to get to, is an understatement on the Jeep Wrangler JKU. The whole right side valve cover removal is a huge pain. I had the tick on the driver's side rocker, so I replaced those. The tensioner chain accidentally got moved, so now it has to be re timed. The only way to do that is to take half the engine apart. I have just under 100k miles, so I'm replacing the timing chain assembly, belts, water pump, all the lifters and rockers. At least I won't have to service anything else for a while.

Great and informative. I’m pretty sure my wife’s 13 300 AWD hasn’t had this done. Will check into it for sure. Thx for the information. Keep up the terrific work .

Man, I appreciate you very much. Thank you very much. I benefited a lot from every word you said to us Thank you and I will continue to support you 👍 شكرا لك اتمنى لك حياة سعيدة

Up here in Canada, the PCV goes for in around 120-140CDN. Mine started leaking at

Very well executed 👍! Dislikes are from the viewers who didn't have 3 minutes to spare.

Your videos are the best...Period!!! Thanks again.

Awesome explanation ....... thank you!!! However (from a Design Engineer) the word you are looking for is tight clearances, not tight tolerances.

Information greatly appreciated. I used your vids to help me change the transmission filter and plugs on my 3.6, and I just ordered an OEM PCV valve for 33.00 on Amazon.

Your videos are extremely helpful. I wish you were down here in Mobile Alabama and heavy work on my ram 1500 anytime I needed service. Thanks!

Great video, clear and complete thanks. Now I need to find the PCV on the older 3.5L (2010 Dodge Journey R/T).

If you have a Wrangler with the 3.6 find the comment from Airman follow that exactly. The only thing I would add is that I wish I bought an angled head bit ratchet for the top bolt on the PCV. They are less than $15 on Amazon and well worth the money in hind sight. I had to use just the T25 bit held in place with one finger and a 1/4" open end to turn it. Very tedious. Then you want the small bit ratchet shown in the video for the bottom bolt. So plan on buying $25 in tools for the job. And get one of those retainer clip / trim panel fastener removal tools. Not the plastic kind that come in a set. Get a metal one. It's $5 and well worth it.

Literally saved me 150$ with this video, thanks man!

thats a crazy lookin pcv valve

With the engine out of the vehicle it is easier to see the location. Great job on the description of the project. I neither have front wheel drive nor rear wheel drive. Its a 4x4 wrangler. So I'm assuming the same process for a rear wheel drive project. Will figure it out. But at least I have an idea where it is. PCV valve

Thanks man! I got a 2012 Jeep Wrangler and need to remove the inner fender to access the bottom fastener. As soon as I get the replacement, this will be a nice project ;)

Where is the bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor on the 2014 avenger with the pentastar. I used your videos to do my oil cooler/housing and you saved me a ton! Now I gotta do this 02 sensor. Thank you!

On my 2016 Ram I actually found the bottom bolt easier to access from the bottom. I had to remove the wiring harness attached to the valve. It also may be easier to access if you remove the shroud around the wheel, more labor intensive though. My repair book said to tighten the bolts to 35 inch/lbs as well.

Amazing video, info and tips, thanks David, long life to the MotorCity Mechanic

Great information

Nice video. Extremely well thought out.

Your info is VERY helpful. I love the details. This may be the first one I've seen of yours, and it wasn't vehicle specific, which I wish it was, but maybe you do others that are. But I loved the way you explain where and why things are what you will see old vs new.... this is in relation to your "Where is the PCV valve on a Chrysler 3.2 and 3.6 engine?"

thanks for the video and the PCV function explanation. this is the only video of the 3.6 PCV thanks

Not sure if you’ll get this, David, since a lot of your videos were released years ago. But thank you so much for all that you do - just flat out amazing videos and I’m so thankful that I found them. I would be making so many mistakes without your explanations. I notice that in a lot of your videos you do your explanation with the engine out of the vehicle. If I could have one wish on one of your future videos - it would be your process of removing the engine from the vehicle. Even if it’s not going through the entire process in a step by step video- perhaps just walking through the steps to do it. I’ve taken the tranny out a few times and one of my primary questions is if it would be better to take the engine out from the top and what kind of clearance issues are we talking. Anyhow, just a thought for a possible future video. Either way - thanks so much David - I’ll take what I can get!

Loved this video and way of explaining it with a very clear and calm speech. Wonderful and amazing..

Most of the photographs I've seen on line show the old (removed) and new PCV Valves side by side. The older one always has a bigger hole in the round rubber part that fits around the camshaft. Does the larger hole in the old PCV Valve indicate wear, or is the newer PCV Valve designed differently and has a smaller hole?

I know this video is old but I wanted to thank you for posting it anyway. I purchased a bit ratchet which helped. I have a 2012 Jeep wrangler with the 3.6L and I had to remove the inner fender cover to access the pcv valve lower screw. My wife has smaller hands and was able to work the upper screw. Together we were able to replace the pcv valve. Next time I'll just remove the valve cover. I hate Fiat!!!

Dave, great video. keep up the Great work. you're a lifesaver. I'm keeping a fleet of 20 2014's going with your help 250k and climbing 👍 YOU da Man

Dude.....I love your vids. You are a lifesaver!

Thanks for the heads up on the bit rachet...

If you are going to run an oil catch can, you would basically replace the PCV then attach a hose from there to the oil separator canister, then canister to air intake, right? My 2012 Grand Cherokee 3.6L is nearing 100k miles, so I figured I'd replace the PCV when I do the catch can install anyways.

Dang... awesome video!

Another Great Video, Thanks Dave.

Absolutely the best breakdown and explaination!

Going to attempt this job on my 11 jeep grand Cherokee 3.6l. Thank for the video it was informative.

Good detail video, we have the 2016 Wrangler sport, less than 100K, doing the work to save $ as we all know, if we have the tools, uses em!

Seems like a great system. Especially on boosted engines. Appreciate your desire to help your subscribers!

Thanks for the tips

I'll be watching the video on changing my spark plugs next. Thanks for the lesson😁

The two best days of a Pentastar owners life. The day you buy it and the day you sell it.

Your videos are great!

MotorCity Mechanic, You guys rock thank you for the location of the pcv, great video and information.

You did a great job, explaining the pcv,. Can you make a video on a 300 2014 3.6 how to take the top intake, so I can get to oil pressure sensor...

You're awesome. Subbed and off to fix my stupid Durango.

Nicely done, you're attention to detail is most appreciated! Just curious when you'll be uploading a DIY trans dipstick video for the 62TE. I thought I heard you hint about an upcoming video a while back but I guess I'm a little impatient... just had the dealer seal my transfer gear cover (a second time... guess it's a bit tricky with getting a good seal with RTV) and I'm paranoid about verifying proper fluid level now. Keep up the good work Dave!

This was super helpful and informative! The problem I have is that when mounted in a Jeep, there isn't any room to put a torx bit on and take this off because of how close it is to the firewall. Is there a special tool or trick for this?

Thank you so much.

I use small locking pliers to turn Torx bits in small places.

Thank you for your time. The best video ever. The most important. The tool tutorial amazing

Great info. I will be changing mine in my truck!

You should add amazon links to those tools. Thanks for the advice.

Nice video, great lesson. I will be ready when my PCV valve is due for changing.

Great content! thank you.

Extremely informative. Thank you so much. You will make this job much Easier. Great job Bro.

Hello again Dave. I appreciate the information. It's not relevant now but it is to somebody and it may be to me in the future as well. That's the great thing about posting a video. You never know who it might help.

Sure glad I subscribed to your channel. Bought one of those wrench's right away. They should send you some $.

Think you very much my friend

Thank you David

Thank you for your videos. They have helped me a lot I send a greeting

So I think I might have to replace this soon. Currently have a 2012 Jeep JK with the 3.6 for the past few months for the first time ever I've been having to add a little bit of oil here in there between oil changes there's definitely nothing leaking but I've noticed more oil in the in my J&L oil catch can I have.

My first time driving a FCA product with the 3.2 was the 2019 Jeep Cherokee Overland and man that thing was sluggish I don’t know if it’s that 9 speed auto or the engine it self you have to switch it to Sport mode I don’t have to do that with my moms 2016 200 S Awd all I do is stump on it and it goes and that has the 3.6

Hi David, I had commented on your video on replacing the rockers and lifters on my 2016 Town & Country and it was very helpful. I previously had a P0303 code with 107k miles and I replaced the spark plugs which made the p0303 code go away. The engine was still running rough after warm up 0:05 on load acceleration and showed 6-7.5 knock retard but no codes. I came across a post on a Jeep forum where a guy found there was problem with the PCV valve and Chrysler changed the design a bit but oil was getting into cylinders and building carbon. My PCV rattled ok but inside the intake saw a little oil trail on #5 cylinder intakes with the valves closed and more oil getting into the intake air cleaner box. Your video says the PCV rides on the 2 cam exhaust and wears with 100k. I believe you are correct my friend. realized the knock retard and shudder was carbon caused I used some CRC intake and valve cleaner to remove the carbon. The shudder is gone and the engine is running fine again. I ordered a new PCV valve and will replace it when it comes in to fix the worn O ring on the PCV valve. Thank you for your excellent videos brother ! 😉👍

very good topic, check on VAG group PCV systems, causing leaks and other running problems as well as rear main seal problems, Thanks
