Problem is that they get plenty of free advertising with Eric O, only way is for everyone to say we’ll use their competitor for out stuff unless you sponsor mr o
Yea Napa!!! Sponsor him!!!! Jeeeez!!!
But they get the benefit without having to supply the parts. If Eric didn't mention them, he would prob be sponsored already

So my wife says " you already have a scraper". But I told this is a special scraper. Eric O uses this scraper.😂😂
Not gonna lie. If Eric uses a certain tool and it’s used in one of the jobs I do.. chances are I’m buyin’ it! Guy knows a good tool.
Mine said after looking on Amazon who do you know in New York that you sent something to? She’didn’t understand when I told her uncle O the best source of information and teacher I ever had lol
Wait. Your wife knows what scrapers you have in your tool box?
Oh boy...
@@409novaman no. She just says that about any tool I want to get.
Carbide scrapers are pretty badass. Lisle makes them in two different widths which is really handy.
I just drove past Avoca on Thursday coming back from a motorcycle trip. I thought for a minute about stopping by but did you a favor and kept on going.
Oh that was you that honked, you're that guy.
I'm sure Eric appreciates your decision!
Just did it today on a 2014 challenger. No light was on, but oil all over the cylinder valley...

For real
I am on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L replacing the oil filter housing as well. I am a rookie tech but learning fast especially when I watch your videos because you know how to explain everything where I can understand it. This is my 1st oil pressure housing on this vehicle and I ain't going to lie, I was very overwhelmed by the job and had to leave it to finish it in the morning so I can verify everything and I see now what I should've done in the 1st place but don't have much guidance from my other 2 veteran techs so I learn everything on my own almost having to refer to all data or your videos or learn the hard way and take way too long on a job. I get quicker and quicker but have alot to learn. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. I probably wouldn't learn the right way if it wasn't for your videos.
Neutral Drop. Heh. I've left comments that they ought to take one of those cars and drop it outside of your place over the weekend with a "Dear Eric. The car was running fine, and now runs funny" note.
I didn't watch this video--but for all who must know--my napa rep recently told me they had an updated housing! No more plastic! This, of course, comes mere weeks after I changed a housing on a Grand Cherokee for a customer.
Eric--Keep it up! You're a rare breed.
"We'll see if we can learn us a little on our own. That way if we make a mistake, we don't forget. Until the next time, and we make the same mistake."
Truer words have never been spoken :-)
It's amazing how many times a day at work I catch myself pleading - "Come on, baby....." And no, I'm not an obstetrician....
I had a similar leak from the oil filter assembly ony Kia van. Unrelated to the leak, I had completely stripped the plastic nut used to loosen the filter top so I have just been using a big Channel-Lock. When I picked it up from the dealer after the assembly replacement, the tech wrote "22mm" in big letters on top of the assembly with a paint marker.
I felt like I was being scolded. 😄
You were.
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
😂
"Stripped" is not the same as rounded off. Lolol😂
So, its the Chrysler that was in before.
It's a Chrysler so it's going to have a recurring role in the Saga of S. Main Auto, you betcha!
Thank you very much sir!! I've been watching your channel for three or four years now and this video gave me the courage to replace my oil pressure switch on my wrangler. Not a job I want to do again any time soon, I made the best of it and changed the plugs too. You're a rock star and I appreciate your professionalism and willingness to help a regular guy save a buck.
I'm in my late 60's and my older brother told me to tighten the oil filter "hand tight". It's worked well for me in the last 40+ years...not a single problem either tightening or loosening the oil filter over all that time.
That was a fine job on a heck of a design. Crazy place for an oil filter and cooler.Thanks for the tips!
Note that an improved, more reliable and more reasonably priced option is to use a 2014 and up oil filter/cooler housing. Unfortunately, the newer version requires a different filter, which won’t fit the older housing. If the owner doesn’t do his/her own oil and filter changes, the unsuspecting mechanic is going to break something trying to make it work or run through a period of confusion until the issue is figured out.
If you do your own work or have a mechanic you frequent on a regular basis, the 2014 and up improved filter/cooler housing is a better option.
Did mine, took about 2 hours with 8 packs to go with, also replaced the plugs, it wasn’t difficult to do even for my skills, great engine.
For the DIYer, you can change the pressure sensor itself without pulling parts off, you just need an oil pressure sender socket and an extension, then work somewhat blind to swap it out. BUT if you also have a pre 2015 3.6 you might want to check it for leaks anyway. David has a good video on doing just the sensor swap. The aluminum unit is a Dorman and fits 14 and up. Looks real good but haven't installed one yet, have installed an aluminum coolant crossover assembly and it works real well to replace the plastic OE one.
I was tight for money when my oil housing failed on my 2014 ran .I rolled the dice on a Amazon knock off that came with an extra oil filter. I very carefully installed it and torqued it up to spec in steps it's been in there about 3000 miles .no problems so far wish me luck lol
I can’t wait to watch the whole video. I did one recently, I wanna hear the uncensored version 😂😂.
Carbide scraper followed by the Red in color, Scotchbrite pad ( kind of like the roloc disc material)... cleans up aluminum perfectly! Roloc disc's are kind of harsh, but the scotchbrite square pads are perfect.. I've found this out and havent switched back. Brake cleaner with it = love
I'm not a mechanic. Just here to see the pain 😅. Love the video's
The all aluminum one is from your Fav. brand dorman! So far its been excellent
The All Aluminum Dorman Housing is for the 2nd Generation Pentastar (2014-2018) Engine.
Was great meeting you the other day when traveling through Avoca. Thanks for the shirt and glad to see the power is back on. Coincidentally I drive a 3.6 Wrangler JK! Thanks again, Patrick
These oil coolers are the gift that keeps giving. To say they're notorious for leaking would be an understatement. I've had jeeps with less than 10 thousand miles come in, the entire bell housing soaked in oil from the cooler leaking. When these things cut loose, it ain't a few drips of oil. They make an absolute mess. Good to see Chrysler hasn't changed the design, though. Job security, to say the least.
You made my day with the "brake clean" music!
THAT ALWAYS makes me Smile! ! !
enjoy your video I am also a 32 year 18 year ASE master It’s a true pleasure watching a professional keep doing what you do best
I love watching the south main auto channel
Great job! That dramatic sound effect with the introduction of the brake cleaner was dope!
God bless this man, working in these modern overhead cam engine bays is a nightmare. I would just walk away.
Love the sound of proper air tools - old school all the way 👍yeah baby 😂😂
Way more thorough cleaning that intake valley then I would have been. Good work. Cheers
I know, right?! Working on my 3.2L Cherokee this week and when dad stopped over for moral support, he said the exact same thing when he saw the swimming pool there in the valley.
Me, a Ga Tech Mechanical Engineer, will not let others touch my cars. However, if I could find a mechanic like you - quality - (plugging ports and cleaning up the leaked oil w/ brake cleaner - nice. New gasket / diaphragm sets - nice.) I would have you or similar quality mechanic service my cars. Darn nice work.
I’ve been watching the channel for a while, absolutely love it. I just had my first encounter with this issue roll into my shop. Another shop (maybe 2) told my friend / customer he needed a new engine because it was burning oil. They showed him the oil saturated plug (cylinder 1) and everything. Well, from a look at codes and some digging into the common occurrence this has become - I have determined the intake gaskets are also no good. So the oil is not only leaking out and hanging out on the block like the rest of these, but it’s also leaking back in the engine via vacuum leak in cylinder 1! This thing ran horrible so he believed them! Swapped out the destroyed cats, plug, and runs great. Now moving onto the rest of the plugs and what started all this mess! Oh, and it’s also leaking coolant even faster than oil 🤦🏼♂️ Really glad I came across this before I ordered a plastic one, in hopes there really is an aluminum one!
I came across this two year old video today and thought I would write my comment as well. This looks very familiar since my car is a ‘12 Chrysler 200 Touring convertible in bright white color like this sedan. My engines oil filter housing never leaked but at 75,500 miles I replaced it with the Dorman Updated aluminum oil filter housing and did a tuneup early while it was apart. I also added the Baxter Performance oil filter adapter which converts the Pentastar engine to a spin on filter which retains some oil to prevent momentary dry starts which is a problem with the original canister type filter since the oil isn’t retained after the vehicle has been shutdown. This does help with the longevity of the Pentastar engine.
Rumor has it Scotty is now a sponsor of the show and sent Eric that o ring grease
I'm always grateful for people with these skills in the world. I get frustrated after and hour of trying to put on my windshield wipers, much less actually opening an engine
There is now a College course for Automotive Engineers. Its name is "How to make things hard to work on". The prerequiste for it is "How to hide the stuff that will need to be replaced". In the Classroom, there is a banner "Knuckle Busting starts here".
What they don't tell them is that there's a special room in Hell reserved for them.
Make sure to catch the bonus tutorials on "how to take perfectly functional parts and turn them into plastic for fun and profit".
Highly recommended.
@@EngineeringVignettes That's a freshman course. Solutions to problems that never should have existed to begin with is a senior coarse.
Followed by the how to hide routinely replaced parts in the strangest of places class 420
"Thanks for your cooperation" was one of my standard lines when deep into conversation with my many short term relationships during my forty plus years inviting problems into my life that I was confident or crazy enough to tackle....I just discovered your channel and have enjoyed watching you in your relationships...but I guess I get back at it.
7:33 I had already been working five years prior, and had my license at 14, and my own ride. I look back in awe. Mostly because I live in a much more populated non agricultural area than where I grew up. There is no way I want any 14 year old around me driving anything. At ten I was driving tractors down two lane asphalt with 30' wide tool bars on the back. Never tore anything up well except for a side roll sprinkler that I hooked with the disk and pulled it 30 yards down the field before the tractor finally noticed it back there. Dad was not a happy camper... and of course it had to be right by the house. LOL
Grew up on a farm also. Driving tractors was just part of growing up. During drivers education class in high school, on the first day, most kids never made it out of the parking lot. I drove to a town ten miles away, on a very narrow two lane major highway. Once I got my license, my dad put me to work driving a half ton Ford truck into town with one ton of corn in the bed to get ground into feed. She had a four speed with granny gear, and you needed every gear to climb the hills in our area.
@@robertheinkel6225 Wish more people could experience farm life.
I just finished one on a Jeep Wrangler last week with Radiator, timing cover reseal, pan, valve covers etc...I will do the vans all day, but the Jeeps are a PITA! Amazing how the traverse mounted platforms are so much easier.
Great video as always Eric!
Gotta love that giant battery tub you have to remove for the right cam cover, jeeps blow
Yeah baby, I love the longer vids!
I really appreciate that you 99% of the time you take your time and do things right to make it easier for the next person or for yourself if have to work on the same vehicle again... Don't put yourself down you are a great person and mechanic... I wish we had good mechanics here in Alberta Canada... Most of them could give a crap less of what they do or how they work.... Thank You MR. O...
Chrysler, the official sponsor of keeping the lights on and food on the table of mechanics everywhere.
I thought that was Ford and their Powerstroke V8 or GM with their 2.4 3.6 liter engines. I have a 2011 Caravan and except for the usual BS with the Wheel hubs the freaking thing is to heavy for the stock ones put in heavier duty about 4 years ago and upgraded the brakes at the same time no major issues.
@@haroldbenton979 if we're talking about the 6.0 Power Stroke I'll agree with that. And yeah those two GMs were not the best designs.
Actually the 3.6 is a great engine. Solid internals, reliable after they fixed the rocker arm needle bearing issue. There’s stories of guys putting 600,000 miles on them with only one timing chain kit, and regular basic maintenance (plugs, LOF). That intake setup is asinine though. Who buries sensors like that?! You have to pay a shit ton of money for tear down just to do diag on the sensor and harness. Ridiculous.
@@danielhandler6646 Chrysler has a very long history of putting parts in wierd places. The 3.2 v6 that had it's water pump driven off the oil pump while being installed the timing cover was one. Or the 2 piece distributor drive shafts on their magnum line of engines. You literally could have half of the drive of the distributor fail and not figure out what was wrong. The only key was that you had lower than normal oil pressure but not enough to hurt the motor.
@@haroldbenton979 Chrysler is FARRRR worse than Ford....I've had ford's and Hondas and Toyotas most of my life...I've never had a major issue, or really anything other than regular alternator, ect
Love Eric's good advice, "don't over tighten these bolts, don't pee into the wind", and as he said that, another piece of "good advice" popped into my head, " watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat the yellow snow".
You older guys will understand!

You bet 😅
@@SouthMainAuto hahaha bet our ears burn...
If a car engine starts up in the SMA shop, and the camera isn't rolling, does it make a sound?
@@SouthMainAuto Having been there I know you can't work on cars without talking. My natural tendency is to prefer quiet when I'm working, yours is to chatter whether its to another person, a car or a wall, doesn't matter. For a guy that lives in the middle of nowhere, which is how I see it as I have always lived in a big city, you seem to hate peace and quiet. I find you country folks so interesting.
Talking to ones self is the only way to get a sensible reply sometimes.
One minute and twenty-five seconds into the video and the 1st quote that comes to mind..."that was easy". 🤠

@@kenmohler4081 do you have an invisible torque wrench
@@frontspring1 Well, I did, but I can’t find mine either. They are very sneaky.
I enjoy your comments and deductions.
When Eric was putting on the blue caps I was thinking this was a perfect job for Brake Clean. Imagine my excitement when it appeared on screen.
I had to replace that on my wife's 2013 Jeep Wrangler, at 60,000 miles. Not because it was leaking, but the early models (2011-2013) oil pressure relief spring was under the oil filter, it was retained in place by a little piece of plastic with small tabs on it, which broke off. They did not make a replacement piece for it at that time. That's about a $300 part to replace on it, now Dorman makes a replacement piece for the early types,it's about $10 and takes about 10 minutes to change.
I've changed the sensors and the whole assembly now a coupe times on these Pentastar motors. E-Z job which you went well above and beyond with. The new assembly has new sensors in it. The cleanup takes the longest part of the time. The R&R maybe 1.5 hours.
Thank you just replaced my oil filter housing watched your video through the process ☺️👍
Eric, You always do such a meticulous job with great attention to detail. I can tell you are that way even when the camera is off because you take pride in your work and reputation. I work like you do and for the same reasons, but I have to admit I think it is sometimes because I'm kind of lazy and don't want to do a job more than once if I can help it. Of course that doesn’t always work out because even after doing the best job I can, I have to do it over because of the crappy aftermarket parts I am force to use sometimes. I always us OEM parts if they are available to try to avoid that. I have a Ford 7.3 liter Diesel in my F350 crew cab and you could literally drop your sandwich in there and still eat it because it is so clean. But why no one will ever see it except me.
I have watched the Motor City guy because I own Chryslers. He is technically accurate and a good source of information, but I wouldn’t watch him work on lots of makes and models that I probably will never work on. You’re more entertaining is what I’m saying!
Seeing Mr. Brake Clean made me very happy in this EP 🤣
Always great to see the other side of the mechanic world. It sure is weird seeing someone work up on top of a vehicle when I spend all day under them.
Perfect timing.about to leave work .go home eat dinner and watch a new video.
I run a small shop. Myself and another Tech. You are great. You are very professional and I appreciate your videos. They are informative and interesting. I like to watch a few of your videos a week, and insist my tech does too. Most of the time, were following the same bloodtrail, but sometimes I learn something new. Thank you!

Nice Erick. Will save this video when I need to "fix the problem" on my 3.6 VVT. I first found you when I needed to diagnostic my 2002 Nissan EGR issue. Watch that video 10+ times. In short you saved the day...the issue was the PCM. Peace to all including the feline. DVD:)
Great Job on your videos. Really enjoy watching as it feels as if we are right there with you learning along. Everything is so well detailed and explained as you work. Thanks for all the time you put into providing the content.
I had a 3.6l v6 in a 2012 Grand Caravan and it was a beast in terms of power. It didn't take much to spin the front wheels. Not only that, it never had a tick because I changed the oil and filter every 4k miles. Always used 5w30 regardless of season.
Only issue I had on this engine was the thermostat housing and that were replaced as well as the oil pressure sensor. Very cheap to repair.
I didn't have the oil cooler issue.
Wonderful engine and I sold it due to the tranny going out.
It had 141k miles and I sold it in 2020.
I must say, the 3.6 was very good on gas and decently reliable.
Haha. "I don't work on Chryslers everyday cause I'm not crazy" .I'm dying. You and me both I always hated dodge/ Chrysler products when I was a tech .
Exactly. What a spot for an oil cooler that’s prone to failure! I’m guessing the early version of this engine self destructed without one so it was an afterthought band aid. They’re the worst engineered vehicles made in North America.
I don't understand the hate. The oil cooler takes minutes to get to. It's just not a big deal.
Working on the big three, Chrysler products seem the most logically engineered of the bunch. Ford makes everything a pain and I swear GM has a contest for who can screw the tech the most
@JORDAN Vargovich Be careful, you'll bring out the dodge fanboy tears 😂
@@mikelovin7 lol looks like 1 showed up right above you
A pain in the butt to fix, and they never stay that way for long.
Scraping aluminum gasket surfaces, try using a piece of thin formica laminate with one edge sharpened. Will not harm aluminum and will cut the most stubborn gasket or sealer.

For Christmas I got a whole hose clamp pliers kit and I was so excited to use them when I drianed and filled the coolent in my wife's truck. We will see if I remember them next time lol
I LOVE your channel man, if i lived in the area you would be my go-to shop for anything im not doing myself. You do awesome reviews, tutorials, and the narration to your videos is on point with a chuckle thrown in here and there just at the right time :)
Im in the process of doing a complete rebuild on my 2018 Wrangler JK which has the same engine, and will say that i had a a pool of oil under the cooler as well. They are great engines, easy to work on, easy to get parts for, and tons of info on the net.. but was fun seeing ya work on it! Thanks for sharing, and keep that content coming, you will be a 1million subs in no time!
So glad you did this. MotorCity does a great video on it too but more angles and info are always helpful. Dreading when my Jeep finally needs this replaced.
16:10 It's the Chrysler-Bell victory siren.
I doubt it's a big honking V8 on a rotating platform it's just a standard fire siren meaning noon or 5:00
What a mess. Eric, you have the patience of Job. I'd have the hatchet and sledge out a long time ago. Guess that's why I am retired. Thanks for sharing.
You have a 14 year old that works .Thats Awsome There’s hope for the next generations.
Another great job Eric, done professionally of course! I definitely would buy the aluminum cooler over a plastic one. Just another way to cut corners on production costs and vehicle weights.
Wow I've never worked on a Chrysler product before (*). Watching this video I was just WTF every 30 seconds. It's like at every design opportunity they had the thought "how can we make this needlessly complex, easy to break and hard to work on?"
(*) I did own a 1979 Plymouth Horizon, but as my dad said at the time "Mopar apparently realized they had no idea how to make a 4 cylinder engine so they bought VW Rabbit engines." so I guess I was working on a VW engine. That thing I changed the timing belt, twice, in a gravel driveway, once taking the head off for the machine shop to work on. It was super easy to work on.
i had to do this to a wrangler. i also had the replace oil filter housing. wasn't a bad job. lol i work on cars and trucks all day and i sit and relax and watch eric o work his magic!
34:00
My dad always said: ''Don't pee against the wind and when you are done, don't eat the yellow snow.''
Not many channels have your mix of entertainment and knowledge! It’s like we’re right there with you. Lol
I believe the oil filter is different for the new and improve filter/cooler assembly. So the next oil changer will be in for a surprise.
No, the unit shown here is the original through 2013 design.
They do make an all-aluminum. I just installed one, definitely more robust. Price wise was and additional $35 bucks, well worth the money. The day I installed mine my neighbor walks over and his Jeep just started leaking oil. Three guesses what it was, yep the oil cooler. To say this is a common problem is an understatement. My girlfriends Charger that I changed the oil cooler on was the second replacement. Even though it doesn't look like it the repair is fairly simple. I'm sure you'll agree, DO NOT tighten the plastic intake without a proper in/lb torque wrench. Plastic will break very easily.
Did you remember to tighten bolt on power steering pump reservoir ? lol. Great video
i don't think he torqued any of the bolts loosened in the video ;)
@@lordjaashin You can lay major cash on that. Call William Hill Sports Book on odds that Eric torques a bolt. 1000:1 is the line.
This job is harder when the engine faces forward. Been there. Nice job Mr. O! Thank you.

Geeze man, be nice. Not everyone can reach the bottom...
@@athhud not everyone has one
I wont complain about my 'VW V6 TDI' Oil cooler seal leak after watching this. Nice job.
Looking at this design, it's clear to me that engineers should be made to work on cars as an apprenticeship.
I feel like often the engineers end up getting their hands tied.
Marketing wants a sleeker body so now everything has to be packed tighter.
Exec wants moar powah so they can boast about best in class horsepower on their ads and stroke consumer egos so now they have to wedge a V6 in there.
Consumers also expect niceties like air conditioning, good MPG, etc. so now with this V6 wedged in a tuna can you have to bolt all sorts of auxiliary stuff to and around it.
@@AToolWithTools I agree with you that the engineers are forced the cater to all those competing interest. And designing the engine so that the oil filter housing is accessible and easily replaceable won't help sell any cars. My beef is that if you're going to design it to where you have to take half the engine apart to get to something, at least don't make that part out of shitty plastic that some asshole at the jiffy lube can easily break by over tightening the oil filter..... They have one made out of aluminum... How much could that have added to the overall cost of the car? $80-$100 Maybe? I mean what asshole made that decision?
I did this job today on my POS Chrysler 200 with only 80,000 miles and now it’s barely running. Worst car I’ve ever had in my entire life. I’ve only had it for four months nothing but problems.
Thanks for making it fun and entertaining while learning how to do these things! I'm not sure why more people don't turn the motor upside down and shake things out 😆
Nice to have guys like this that bring you their crap! Steady $ good on you
"Figure it out or strip it out"....Excellent advice from Eric O the Pro. My harbor freight can break an M14 bolt so fast it will make your head spin. Literally!
Love all your videos Eric, but every video ends with me ordering a tool I probably do not need and might never use. When I die the garage sale will be epic.
On my oldsmobile silhouette I had .
2 Hubs. 2 Cv shaft. Brakes front. Rebuilt Trans. Radiator. Condenser. Thermostat. All replaced
Do them on the grand Cherokees and wranglers once every 2 weeks or so there’s one In the shop. So common. Not a bad job
Excellent video probably the best I’ve seen on this subject
Tell everybody to change the plugs while they’re in there
Use iridium’s
Already know it’s gonna be great !
reading the comments is as good as watching the videos take care.
