I can vouch for the shop in Golden being the best. I bought my first Grand Cherokee from Jeb in 2011. In 2015 I went back to buy an SRT and Jeb still remembered me, even down to what kind of work I do.
Great instructional vid mate. I always do an oil change after the car has been driven. Word of advice, leave the dip stick in and oil filler cap on. Reason being it will as said, create a vacuum so the HOT oil doesn't come quickly and gives you time to remove the oil sump plug. Nothing is fun about getting burnt fingers and dropping your sump bolt into the oil tray !
You should put oil in the new filter so it doesn't run dry for those few seconds it's building pressure. Every little thing helps the next person when you get the trackhawk.
@PorssiMies incorrect. Putting oil into the center risks contamination as the oil is filter from the outside small holes to the inside larger hole. If you insist on doing this fill it from the outside holes.
@josh, could You please share (show some scheme) what and where are the areas for jack/lift legs in the front of the vehicle? And how to set-up lift legs correctly please (in the front)? I've just bought SRT 2016 this weekend , going to change oil as well :) Greets from Belarus!
Great video!!! I'll be in the market for one this time next year. Saw in the comments you'll be making a video on things people should look for when shopping for a srt! Love your channel. Looking forward to more
I'd love an srt, but I don't have the £! I have a 2001 wj 4.7! Had her 5mths, love it! And yes they need specific oil and parts! Not cheap, but best to do if u want it to live a long and happy life!
Hi, I would like to have your advice on 2015 jeep grand cherokee that has been stored in the dealer and sold on 2017 july.. the car now has warranty till 2022 and free maintenance up to 100.000 km. I will be the second owner and the car now covered 37000 mailage .. what are the parts to be replaced with 2 years stored srt8 grand cherokee?
How did you loosen the filter? , Your video doesn't show just how difficult it is to access. I had to resort to a pair of Channel-Locks and it still took me a half hour! I'm currently looking for some sort of specialty tool to make it easier for next time...
Im at about 7000 feet of elevation so its slower than normal. Im going down to sea level soon and make a video. I got mine for under $40k and its a newer body style. Id say between $35k and $100K depending on year, mileage, and trim level.
a good rule of thumb is snug plus a 1/4 turn. its a feel thing that comes with practice. also told people to check the level after filling so no one ruins their engine and tries to blame me lol
Attempted my transmission fluid drain, pan/filter replacement and fill this weekend. Have a ‘14 Jeep SRT and dealer wanted $1,014 to do it. Sad part is, cross bars need to be removed which I wasn’t comfortable with and I realized there is nowhere to actually put new fluids in. I am a newb and trying to learn as I go but this one seems a bit stupid? Any help?
You need a special tool to fill from the drain plug I believe. Not 100% sure since I haven’t done it yet. The pan needs to come off to replace the filter though
@@JoshShare Thank you for responding. Ya, this one has been a head scratcher. I have the new pan/filter replacement and 8 quarts. Attempted it Saturday when I replaced my brake pads. But realized the cross bars and felt uncomfortable removing those without knowing more. This has to be doable.... SIGH
Hey josh so I bought a trackhawk a month ago, what Pennzoil or mobile 1 oil should I use during the winter time? Since I live in Chicago and we have pretty harsh winters every year.
Use clean oil to lube the rubber seal. Check oil before start? Great advice but after pouring in 7 quarts I start it, shut it off, then check level. Subbed .
Ive used it in the past. i don't know if its still an issue but there used to be a debate on how Mobil 1 performed in high heat applications such as turbo vehicles. I primarily use whats recommended for the vehicle since I haven't modified anything in a while.
Mobil used to have the contract. Pennzoil does now. I use AMSoil for my jeep SRT and I also have a JLT oil separator (catch can) installed. Great video.
Josh im in the market for a srt and also in colorado. I am on a 35k budget and am curious if you would recommend a 2012 with lower miles or a 2014 with higher miles. Thanks man love your vids. 😎😎😎
Angelo Castro I am also in the same situation but I am in Texas instead of Colorado. Can you make a video over things to look out for if you’re buying a Jeep SRT with over 80k miles or something like that. Just so Angelo and I can have an idea on what to look out for?
Josh, just subscribed to the channel. I just picked up a '15 with 33k miles on it. Loving it so far. But have you ever heard others having trouble using AMSOILS high end stuff for these 6.4's? I am a big AMSOIL guy and get a hell of a discount on it. So am curious if you heard others having issues with anything BUT penzoil. Thanks in advance.
If you want the best price and way to buy this, lookup your local Shell distributor to buy it direct. Dodge dealers get it from the distributor as well! And when you buy, get it in an EcoBox. It will be cheaper then cases! Your welcome
Damn, I'm late to this party. All this talk about ol and filders makes me want to do milkshake related things for reasons only a master tech can tell me. Montage music could use a little brutaling up if you know what I mean...
Amsoil signature series is what I've been using in my SRT amazing results so far

Had to watch again lol getting ready to change the oil this week!
Another excellent video. Just shared it on all my Jeep SRT pages. Hope you get a nice subscriber bump. -Ron

Great video josh, very informative on owning a Jeep, keep up the good work your be great one day on TH-cam.
thanks for the support!

thanks for the support!
I’m lookin at a ‘14, glad I saw this cause I didn’t realize there was a “SRT” preferred oil so that’s cool.
thanks for checking out the video!
Why don’t you have a pile catch can fitted? Or have I just not seen it?
I didn’t when I made this video. I do now 👍🏼
Would amzoil synthetic same weight be ok to use with any set application
Another great video! Very informative! Happy Holidays everyone!
Thanks! Happy Holidays!
Good video.. still have 2 free oil changes at the dealer. Cant wait to start changing my own.
nice! thanks for the comment!
Hi, is the a need to use "0"W40 in the 6.4 SRT8???
I prefer to use "5"W.
But now I'm uncertain because of your explaination of phase valve system.
I'd love an srt, but I don't have the £! I have a 2001 wj 4.7! Had her 5mths, love it! And yes they need specific oil and parts! Not cheap, but best to do if u want it to live a long and happy life!
do you have a video of suspension repair cost on these jeeps srt? doing my research before pulling the plug on on of these srt jeeps
I haven’t had any problems with mine since I bought it with 50k miles. I’m at 114k now
@@JoshShare thanks man looking forward to owning one of these beasts by next summer

Depends on who installed it. A lot of people over tighten oil filters
Josh you should be using the MoPaR white SRT filter.
Question how many quarts did you actually use ? And how long have you been driving the jeep with the “FAMOUS TICk”?
For how long does that white SRT Oil filter can serve
Would you recommend the Gud oil Filter?
You should do how fast the srt 0-60 and whats the range $ for these srt jeeps?
Is there any problems you didnt like with the srt?
theres a couple things to be careful about. ill post an updated video
Thx !

5-6k of elevation mostly. your welcome!
Thanks for the vids man. Hoping to pickup one of these jeeps soon. Low(ish) mileage 2012 or something. These are helpful
Was it hard to reach and loosen the oil filter? It looked like it was hard to reach..thank you.
its not too bad as long as its not over tightened
freEvo8 - Thanks you guys.I wish they would design these things with the mechanic in mind.
a good rule of thumb is snug plus a 1/4 turn. its a feel thing that comes with practice. also told people to check the level after filling so no one ruins their engine and tries to blame me lol
they never have the mechanic in mind. only production cost
Excellent video! Can you use 0w40 on 2017 Durango RT to help with lifters noise?
Thanks! whats the oil specification for it?
@@JoshShareHi Josh, Thanks for taking my question. It's 5w20
no problem!
Which oil can you use different from the SRT oil?
I only used the SRT oil
Ok so in your case you were able to loosen it by hand?
Yes
I live in India and they don't have Pennzoil. The Jeep dealerships here put in 5W-40
How much was the total on products ?
So how many quarts it uses 6?
How often does the oil need to be changed on these vehicles ?
Every 3000-5000 miles

@@JoshShare And yes, the pan and filter are one-piece. So you have to replace the pan each time. Which is stupid of course.
Jason C I’ll work on making a video but life is hectic to say the least right now 👍🏼 thanks for the comment!
@@JoshShare Much appreciated. Love the videos. Thanks for the help and support you offer.
Hey josh so I bought a trackhawk a month ago, what Pennzoil or mobile 1 oil should I use during the winter time? Since I live in Chicago and we have pretty harsh winters every year.
I’d stick with what the manufacturer recommends 👍🏼 that way if something happens your not liable for possible damages.
Josh Share thank you 🙏🏼
You are a great teacher bro we should be friends.
Appreciate the comment!
Appreciate your content
thanks!
Use clean oil to lube the rubber seal. Check oil before start? Great advice but after pouring in 7 quarts I start it, shut it off, then check level. Subbed .
its for peace of mind. consistency and accuracy becomes habit when your working on 10 cars a day and old habits die hard. thanks for the support!
Great video
thank you!
Do you recommend using an oil extractor?
Dope man thanks!
You’re welcome!
Does Mobil 1 work
Ive used it in the past. i don't know if its still an issue but there used to be a debate on how Mobil 1 performed in high heat applications such as turbo vehicles. I primarily use whats recommended for the vehicle since I haven't modified anything in a while.
You got me thinking here. It’s hard to find that oil locally. I have a slight tick, I wonder if changing the oil will fix that
the dealer has it in cases or you can contact your local Shell distributor (where the dealer gets it)
Josh Share just found some. Great video!
thanks!
Then why does our oil cap say Mobile 1?
Hmmm... Mine doesn’t. It just says synthetic 0w-40
Mobil used to have the contract. Pennzoil does now. I use AMSoil for my jeep SRT and I also have a JLT oil separator (catch can) installed. Great video.
Great video man... Does the oil life reset work the same for the 2012 SRT8??
thanks! its the same for almost all jeeps!
Josh im in the market for a srt and also in colorado. I am on a 35k budget and am curious if you would recommend a 2012 with lower miles or a 2014 with higher miles. Thanks man love your vids. 😎😎😎
AutoNation Jeep in Golden CO! Ask for Steve Kern and tell him I sent you!
Steve Kern - (303)578-6104
Angelo Castro I am also in the same situation but I am in Texas instead of Colorado. Can you make a video over things to look out for if you’re buying a Jeep SRT with over 80k miles or something like that. Just so Angelo and I can have an idea on what to look out for?
Chris Oliveras no problem! I’ll get going on one
Thanks for the reply Josh. Once again man i love your content. Keep up the good work i will definitely get in touch with steve. 👍

I have heard bad things about non mopar oil. but i haven't used it myself so i can't really answer that for ya
Good explanations bro!!
thanks!
Lol yep 1 type of oil! Nice job!👍✌!
If you want the best price and way to buy this, lookup your local Shell distributor to buy it direct. Dodge dealers get it from the distributor as well! And when you buy, get it in an EcoBox. It will be cheaper then cases! Your welcome
ill check it out! Thanks!
Penzoil 0w40 super sun ethic
I had no idea I just been using mobile 1 0-40
Wait Jeep had Oil Cheaper than Walmart?
I get a discount at that particular dealer but you can pick up the parts for around $100
Josh I’m also located in Colorado and have had my 15SRT Jeep for 2 months now, but Anyways lets have a Jeep meet lol
agustaly serna how is it holding bad I want one man but I heard their maintenance is expensive
Is it the same oil for 6.1 as the 6.4?
If it calls for 0w-40 and its an SRT then yes. Best thing to do is call your dealer and ask the PARTS department if your not sure.
Damn, I'm late to this party. All this talk about ol and filders makes me want to do milkshake related things for reasons only a master tech can tell me.
Montage music could use a little brutaling up if you know what I mean...
what up eric! should i make you a metal montage youve always dreamed of? hahahaha
changing the oil is easy, getting spare parts for a 10 year old jeep isn't x
Amazaon has that oil for $57 (6-pack)
That’s awesome 👍🏼
🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥💪🏼🙏🏼👍🏼
