Your engine is only as good as the oil you use. Poor maintenance equals premature failure and ultimately a short live engine with very low mileage. And last but not least how well was the vehicle design. If the engine is design poorly, and implemented. You will have a prematyure engine failured due to poor implementation of the engine layout. And the quality of material that was used.

Dear Engine Joe, This motor is the reason I haven't bought another GM. I was ignorant and bought an early generation 3.6. It was the worst motor I've ever owned. There might be worse motors out there, but not that I've owned. The fact that GM continues to produce this motor, and the fact that you say it's the 'future', tells me that I'll never buy another GM in my life. Doesn't matter how pretty an Acadia looks, when it has this piece of junk for a motor. People look at these things and act like it's a great achievement when it gets to 200k.

My Caddy engine runs great. Use synthetic engine oil and still change every 3,000 miles. Good mileage also. At first I did not like the engine shutting off at stop lights (red light) but now I like savings fuel because of it. As a factory service rep for two car manufacturers, I can tell you oil passages especially those for cam phasers are tiny. Change your oil every 3,000 or annually whichever comes first.

Hey Joe I've heard from my mechanic who has done a ton of timing jobs on these that the mewest iteration of the phaser (DA/KA) use less oil pressure to operate and that the Melling pumps aren't needed. Is that true?

2016 impala 3.6 244000 mile driven bout 100 miles each way 3days a week maintenance myself for my wife oil changes every 5000 witn thr rite oil never burns any an no problems at all with timing great engine dextros approved oil .

2014 Chevy Impala 2LT 3.6 I change the oil every 3k every since I first got it 💯😎

So is that something that's fairly easy to do I'm pretty mechanically inclined and I bought a Ford explorer couple weeks ago and it only has just clicked 100,000 do you think it would be beneficial for me to go ahead and change those hydraulic tensioners on this vehicle

The 4.7 is a dual over head cam. Not a single. And Has many problems right out of warranty.

I've had over 20 vehicles in my life, and my 2000 Grand Cherokee is the one I've had the longest for the most miles. 249k and still running strong, never an issue. And yes, It IS better then a Jeep 4.0 which I had before. The only issue is if you over heat them. Iron block + alum heads. Not really the engines fault. Owners not doing proper maintenance or pulling over if a problem comes up. Easy to work on, plenty of power, silk smooth.

My neighbor is selling his 2012 Jeep Liberty with 190k mi. with the 3.7 for 1000 bucks, seems like a lot of vehicle for the money.

Getting a 5.9 magnum ordering today shawnee boys will put it in thank you .

The 3.6l is trash. They put it in everything. It's weak. Designed to fail like all gm products under women leadership.

I own a 212 Buick lacrosse, engine purrs like a kitten , quiet smooth, powerful. I use Walmart oil, 5/30 does not burn oil, change engine oil 4k Transmission oil every 30k, love my ride.

You send dud engines from Mexico while you advertise in the state, your products are cheaply remanufactured and your warranty is a joke. Never again

This a different company than Powertrain Products or the same?

The GM oil life monitor has always been worthless. It's designed to keep cost of ownership during the warranty period low. GM also gets energy credits for the reduction of waste oil.

I bought a new long block from Powertrain Products that immediately started knocking. LOUD rod knock! Upon disassembly, I found that the crankshaft had been welded, and not machined properly. The connecting rods were not matched to the caps. The spark plug threads in the head were severely damaged. CRAP COMPANY that sells CRAP products. AVOID, AVOID!!!

Great video! Thanks!

2009 Holden SV6 (ly7) with 310,000 kms and still doesn’t burn oil. Great engine and great video too!

I have a 2007 with 220k think head gasket is leaking 6sp manual also.. I'll fix lt 😅

I’m about to order the 5.4l triton 3valve for my truck in a week or two. I’m really excited. Just subscribed to this channel. Looking forward for more content.

Lost compression on no. 5 cylinder. Engine runs really rough. I'm told the cost to fix is worth more than the truck. What does the reman engine cost?

The seats never get loose 😂 the valves bend. And hammer the seat till it falls out. Check the run out on the exhaust valves, also look at the exhaust valve springs on the 3.7l with the external shroud

If it is synthetic can I run it to the 5000 mile mark or still change at 3000?

👍🏻

Hello from Montana, I ordered my engine just days before Christmas, it arrived from Texas to Missoula, Montana two days after the New Year. My Mechanic is now swapping the old for the new. He recommended Powertrain as he has had excellent experience with their products. Thank you to everyone at Powertrain...The "no fault" insurance policy is a clear indicator their products are the best Greg Nordin 😊

384,652 MI on my 2006 ram on 3rd fuel pump, 2nd radiator, water pump, alternator, 3rd condenser fan ect. Engine and transmission still going strong.

2023 Camaro 3.6 owner. Changed oil at 600 miles, 1500 miles, 5000 miles and will do every 5000 as long as I own the car. Mobil 1 EP full synthetic. It’s a very fun commuter with the 6 speed and dual mode exhaust. It rips.

I will order from you soon for my Chevy .

i have a 2005 dodge ram 1500, with a 3.7 Magnum engine that needs replacing. what would be a compatible upgrade

3.7 engine

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd 6 speed. Bought it in 2016 with 87,000 miles. It now has 218,000+ miles. Oil changes every 3000 miles. Five quarts go in, five quarts come out. Best used vehicle I have ever bought.

So ill say this. I Drive ALOT. My commuter car is a vw tdi with 405k. Many years ago. I made my first big boy purchase, a low mileage 2008 ram with a 3.7. All it needed to do was haul a fourwheeler and go out on dates ( it was just clean and pretty all its life) and then i grew older and the toys and work life got bigger. That 3.7 lived off the rev limiter. Just of 2 years ago, i sold the truck in beautiful shape. An original 3.7 that was worked its a$$ off, purred like a kitten, didnt burn a drop of oil, didnt drip any fluids, with 380thousand relentless teenager style driven miles. The old man still drives that truck with a smile. And i oughtta kiss that truck because ive assumed all these years that the 3.7 was actually a bad engine and i was just blessed. Maybe still the case now. I have a jeep liberty with a 3.7 with only 180k. Does have its obvious leaks i gotta fix. But it sounds and runs solid. I think the 3.7 and 4.7 are just those motors they really performed and lasted pretty well and got a bad rep from the small select numbers of bad individuals, all whole 300+ thousand mile vehicles wjth these engines... well people arent praising and yelling about the fact. Theyre just living life.

Why does it take 2 to 3 weeks to get a transformation

Lol, I have a 2010 Dodge Nitro with 285,000 on it. Yeah it burns a little oil, but I have a saying when it comes to this car, and that is “there’s 3 things in life you can rest assured on; death, taxes, and the nitro is gonna start in the morning.” The 3.7 and 4.7 are my favorite for the reliability hands down.

Bought a 2004 Ram 1500 with 3.7 and broken timing guides. Took a chance with same engine putting new timing kit + oil pump, and success! The plastic guides are pretty dumb for longevity (like ford tritons) but solid engines when kept up

2:59 I bought a used 2012 Impala police model with 336,000 miles with the 3.6 and it ran just fine.

Early Timing Chains were a problem. You can also get after market kits that are excellent.

Future Rube Goldberg award winner for this engine. lol

Engine Joe ain't working on the engines his wannabe punk are

Y'all scam anyway y'all can like you said you got to feed your family and if you got to Rob someone to feed your family you will sell them bad engines you are a bum

Buyer Beware!, Purchased a 5.3 for a Chevy truck, lasted 500 miles. Used 4 quarts of oil and lifters collapsed, took 6 weeks and endless calls to get it replaced. Never again

GM at Catharine’s is the only plant that makes these.

Can it be shipped to my house

I just bought a 3.7 engine from you guys this evening .and new Mopar brand oil pan and intake manifold from mopar parts store. I have heard nothing but great things about and from you guys. My jeep has 265,000 miles on it , and still runs like a top with no check engine lights , on a jeep imagine that😂 , but with all them miles on it and i do alot of overlanding fishing trips in the middle of no where it is time to retire her old engine. So cant wait for the new one i live in PA , and thanks for making a great product at a fair price , from a retired vet i thank you.

Hello sir! I have a 06 Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi engine that just recently went down. Cranks but won’t start. Shop said it’s the ECU. I called dodge to get another one but they said that model ECU is discontinued 😡😡😡 what can I do. I replaced the crank and cam sensors and nothing. It’s got a new fuel pump and I get pressure at the fuel rail. And I’m getting spark. I’m at a loss. Getting ready to buy another truck. I need it on the road for work.
