*****How to reset your oil change required message****
Pop your key into acc mode, wait for the dash lights to turn off (seatbelt light on is ok) then press deep on gas pedal three times and voila! Back to 100% oil
Thanks for posting the additional information!
This did the job, thanks for posting!
Acc mode?
Great video! New Jeep owner here. I’m embarrassed how long I looked for the oil filter before I saw your video. Stayed for the rest of the video and glad I did
Congratulations and welcome to the Jeep family! Thanks for the feedback, glad the video helped!
Finally! Someone goes over the socket sizes needed for this otherwise VERY simple job! Thank you for all other tips.
13mm for the drain plug and 24mm for the oil filter housing.
I must have a mutant. The drain is 15mm and filter pops in other way on mine, the big hole goes in lid
why would anybody thumbs down this video if you didn't learn how to change your oil from this video then your IQ is the problem
Tyler Durden lol, thanks! There are always gonna be haters out there. It only makes me stronger, more powerful! 😱👍
For Sure!
I don't know, why do people like you worry about it and ask the same dumb question on virtually every TH-cam video?
hWen I open the hood on my 2016 wrangler it looks nothing like the video
Anytime I have new jeep owners ask me where I get my oil changed I tell em I do it myself *been doing it for the last year by myself thanks to this video* then advise em to come watch this video super easy to follow.
Glad the video helps. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!
Thanks for this video, it's very helpful....
No more dealer oil changes and waiting 2 hours every time....
Thanks Dan, glad the video helped. Now you'll at least know it is done right. I have heard stories of the dealership not even putting oil in....very bad
Excellent video. Bought a new wrangler jku, once the free oil changes are finished I will move to Mobil 1 Gold cap. Thanks! Saw the blooper... Been there done that... Lol... That's why I wear plastic gloves.
John Smith thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. I’m a royal purple fan, have not heard of Mobil 1 gold cap, will need to check that out.
@@RockTrooperJeep It's full synthetic rated for 15k I believe. I never kept a car past 100k.... So idk if it's the "best". I think the best is doing routine changes with spec oil.
that's it? And ive been paying for 80 Dollar oil changes! damn Daniel....
cautiontext yep, easy as that! Hopefully this saves you some $ on your next oil change!
Cat Man yes change it every time. It’s just as important as the oil.
I’m a new Jeep owner, first oil change. Holy crap the oil filter is not under the vehicle! Thanks for the video. Mission accomplished.
BlueIce JK yes, first vehicle I had with the filter on top as well. Makes it so much easier! Thanks for the feedback, glad the video helped!
Thanks for the video. After years off the "Change Your Own Oil" job I'm back on it and didn't want to miss any new tech over the years. Couldn't be easier 🙂
Steven Provencher glad to help!
Great Video, only addition would be that the drain plug should be replaced at 25 ft/lbs of torque and SHOULD NOT BE OVER TORQUED 👍🏻
jdenaro 👍👍
thanks for that, I was going to ask. What the about the filter, what torque?
Yeah seriously don’t over torque it 🙃☹️
great instructional video although one quick addition would have been the exact position of the gasket in the filter housing 👍👍
Bruce Lee thx thats what I did although its good to double check in case the one before me did it wrong
The Jeep has to be the easiest oil change in the history of oil changes. Revolutionary ! I was able to change the oil in under 10 min, including filter. As apposed to my mustang, which at best is 30-40 min. This includes getting on the ramp, crawling under to get to drain plug than taking the under skirt off to get to the filter.
psulse agreed, easy peasy! Most people do not know how easy it really is. Save some $ and do it yourself!
I have a JK Wrangler. I agree the oil change is easy, but my 3.8 Town and Country is even easier. The filter is mounted vertically under the front of the engine. Both it and the drain plug can be easily reached from the front with the van sitting on the ground. No jacks or ramps required, and with the vertical mounting position of the filter you don't spill a drop. An oil change for the T&C is almost like a NASCAR pit stop.
Thanks for posting, I just finished my first oil and filter change on my new jeep, bought it in Feb and has 2,800 miles as of today, Didn't want to go to the dealer and sit in the waiting room for two hours have them screw it up. I used the same oil as you did, was very easy, thanks again for posting this.
Absolutely! glad the video helped. I'll do everything I can to avoid taking my vehicles to the stealership.
Never changed oil in my life.. but your video is ever helpful. Thank you!
Thanks your tutorial was great! My dad wasn't around to remind me today all the steps to change my oil and this jogged my memory perfectly and got me through for the first time by myself!! Very much appreciate the time you took to make this video.
Gabrielle Beck absolutely! Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad my video helped!
Holy shit my lazy ass has been paying for this?! Thanks amazing video!!
Julian Rodriguez LOL 😂 glad the video helped!
Great instructional video. An oil filter you can access from the TOP of the car, easily. What a concept!! I might start changing my oil again...
James Nitzberg thanks, appreciate the feedback! Yeah changing out the oil is super easy, save money and know the job is done right!
It is because of great videos like yours that I was able to do my own oil changes. It is not so much the savings because it can be minimal at best. I think it helps you know your vehicle better and it really is a very quick job to do it yourself. Thanks again John!
Thanks Van, I appreciate the feedback. Yes, I agree. Knowing your rig and how it works is just as important.
4:41
I was looking for the oil filter, thanks for the instruction
Anytime Scott, glad I could help
That engine bay is way too clean! We have to get you out on some trails!
NotaRubicon Productions LOL! It does, gets dirty on Saturday, gets cleaned on Sunday! I got issues like that! 👍😉
Just bought mine a few months ago and wasn’t sure what the odometer was at since last change. Great video. Thanks for the help!
Terry Kunder congratulations on your purchase! Thanks for the feedback, glad the video helped.
You are a God sent for this video! Thank you my friend! 🙌🙏🫶🔧
Appreciate the feedback. Glad the video helped!
@RockTrooperJeep Definitely did! I've done oil changes on my Toyota Celica & 63 TBird. Was just intimidated by the Jeep because it was foreign to me but thanks to your video it was easy peazy! 🙏😜🫶
Thank you I had no idea where my oil filter was. Of course I hadn't looked yet. Very surprising that it's a canister style and up on top of the motor thank you for the great video
Great video- just a note for anybody just learning- 2014+ models use a different oil filter- so your part # referenced here won't work. Looks a little different too. Folks should be sure to get the correct filter. I just go to dealer for the filter.
Thanks Chris. I recommend checking your owners manual for your vehicle specific items. I think the 2012 actually listed different oil viscosity. Always best to go with the owners manual requirements.
thanks for video
Just a word of warning many are using wrong filter.I got mine done at Walmart they put in wrong filter almost wrecked my engine.I took it to my dealer and they put in right filter
Mo 744 only for 11 to 13
Yes Sir! I save about $40 at least by doing this myself and as you can see there is very little to it. Good video.
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!
good video, I like to warm the engine up so the oil flows out a little more complete. The wrangler is super easy to change compared to some vehicles.
But....good lord that is a clean engine :)
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. Yes I was extremely thorough and always made time to clean engine bay, interior and exterior after Saturday or weekend runs
Glad you noted the socket measurements, saved me time. Thumbs up my man. Great job!
CitySlickerStyle Thanks for the feedback, glad the video helped!
A 2014 Jeep Rubicon uses a different oil filter FYI or guys who are watching this because I just made a mistake. I just got my new Jeep Unlimited and wanted to change the oil myself.
Ello Ello Yes, even though the engine is the same Jeep has been using different oil viscosity and part numbers. The process to change your oil is the same, just make sure to check your owners manual for the specific part numbers to use.
Great video all about making it easy and no ego or drama
Thank you fellow jeep driver . Good Demonstration ..👍👍👍👍👍
spring of 1979 thanks for the feedback, glad the video helped out!
Fantastic video sir. I watch it before every change.
Thanks for the feedback, glad the video helps!
Thanks for this. Interesting that the battery and fuse box are on the opposite side in Australia.
Makes sense to me... Haha
I put platinum synthetic Pennzoil 5w-20
I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Will this filter fit it? Thanks
Ted bear sure will, same engine same filter.
Nice one because we were used to have oil filters underneath the engine. Please include resetting computer after each oil change. Great job. Thanks.
Very good video oil is change and car is running smooth
Nicely made video, you illustrate procedures clearly and accurately, and its easy to understand.
Abu T thank you, I appreciate the feedback. I hope the video helped!
Dude thank you so much really appreciate you!!! Very helpful! Hope you and your family are staying safe in these shotty times my friend!!! Jeep on Jeepin On !!!!
BARRY VASQUEZ thanks for the feedback! Keep on Jeep on!
Thanks, Never had a Mopar. Interesting type and location for a oil filter. Great info.
Mike Ferriera I hear you. This was the first time I had the filter located above
They probably got this from Daimler... My 2006 Mercedes CLK had the filter located on top like this as did my BMW X3
It does make the filter change extremely easy!
Great video - very well produced. The freezes where you add text overlay are very helpful.
Curtis Bullock thanks for the feedback, glad the video helped out!
I learned how to do this seems pretty easy but I’m scaredd to even touch any part of my engine though 😂😂 knowing that I don’t know anything about cars etc ya know ! But later today imma do a oil change on my Jeep 😯🤞🏻
Starr Ayala one of the ways to get to know your rig is to work on it! You’ll feel great satisfaction in doing it yourself!
how did you manage to get a thumbs down??? anybody giving this a thumbs down probably has room temperature IQ
James Mariano 27 or them to be exact, I think they are all from auto dealers or oil change places, taking away their business! LOL 😂
I don't know, why do people like you worry about it and post the same dumb question on virtually every TH-cam video?
Great video!!!! ive been taking mine in for years, next oil change i'll do on my own!!
Mike Gee thanks for the feedback, glad it helped!
Great video, John. I love the blooper at the end... ...Murphy's law for sure.
HA! right....I usually edit out all of the 4 letter words but figured i would leave this little tidbit in for some fun. I might start adding more "bloopers" at the end of all the videos. There is no shortage of them!
When you pulled the oil filter in the video, had you drained the oil already? Or was it that non-drippy already? And, does oil spill from around the oil filter housing onto the engine, or is that area all clean?
No, the oil filter was pulled first and was not dripping oil when pulled. I would suggest have a rag available so when you pull the filter, hold the rag underneath it.
@@RockTrooperJeep Good to know, thanks. Looking at buying a Wrangler and oil change cleanliness is a key part of the decision, strangely. Thanks for making this video and responding to questions. Greatly appreciated.
@@dixonbuttes6564 glad to help and welcome to Jeep Life!
Always looking forward to your videos. Nice job. Only reminder is BOTH the filter cap and the drain plug have a spec torque to be applied. I think it was 20 on bottom and 18 on top? Damn, I should know this...ugh. Anyway, fun video as usual! Still thumbs up haha
This really is a fantastic video. I wanna go change my oil right now. It’s so simple. And why have I been paying $80 at Jiffy Lube
how about 20w50 like in KSA temp get up to 60c average can be less than 45c do you think i should stock with the manufacture says can i use any type of oil like motor craft or mobile1
Always use the oil recommended by your auto manufacturer.
Great detail and explanation for the oil change.
Nice clear video with instructions.Thank you!
Abby Normal thanks for the feedback, hope the video helped!
you never said what year this was? this info would be helpful and you did the same thing with the oil drain bolt no mention that it is a 13 mm
18 ft. Lb. Is the spec.when tightening the oil filter cap. Do not overtighten, can crack oil filter/oil cooler housing. This is made of plastic and you would have to remove intake manifold to replace this.
You may want to tighten your drain plug and filter house just a bit more. Great video thanks
Meaghan Culver thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!
I have a 2014 Wrangler. . . wondering if I should use synthetic or not?
ck40711 that is a debate that you would get pros and cons on both sides. I’ve run synthetic in all of my vehicles from brand new to older vehicles and never had any issues.
I was seeing the same thing. . . some people swore by synthetic, others said use regular non-synthetic. I might just alternate each oil change. . . going Pennzoil full synthetic for this first one. Thanks for the advice and the video.
Very classy video, thanks a million!
Steven Eldred thanks for the feedback, glad the video helped!
That damn near looks just like MY Jeep. White, Warn Xeon Winch, Grill Mesh painted Red. :) But I have a mopar hoodlock.
insylem at least there is 2 Jeep owners with awesome taste!
How many liter engine oil sir?
you forgot to mention the part about resetting the oil light by pumping the gas pedal with the key turned half way.. that's how my 2016 is anyway. thanks for the video
Couldn’t see from the video if you jacked the car up before draining. Advice on that?
You do not need to lift your Jeep to change the oil, unless you are unable to get under it to remove the oil drain plug.
Thank you buddy, Great video!!! Keep making videos.
thanks for sharing, i have question, if we change the engine oil the indicator inside dasboard is stop warning us to change the oil or we have reset the indicator after that...thanks
No, it will not clear the notification automatically. You would need to manually reset the indicator. At the time I did mine, it was not on, so I did not record that process. Turn the ignition switch to the on/run position but do not start the engine. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly 3 times within 10 seconds. Turn the ignition switch back to the off/lock position. Should be clear now. Hope this helps.
Got to the oil filter and that one does not fit my 2014 jeep wrangler. Other than that thanks for help.
Perfect write-up, John! Nice job!
Anytime, I'm glad I could help out!
5 quarts brings mine to the full mark. Owners manual says 5 quarts too. 🤷🏻♂️ 2012 3.6L
After oil change the engin light is on. What is the problem? Can l somehow reset vor switch it off? Thank you in advance.
2016 3.6 takes filter #MO-349 not sure what other years take the 349
CW Oregon always refer to the owners manual for the specific filter. For some reason Jeep jumped around on different oil and filters for the same engine.
RockTrooper I think they changed the filter canister cap design as the only thing different is the top of the filter.
Great and well explained video. Thanks to it I’ll be saving more money than I do with Geico, LOL
Superb!
Glad the video helped!
@@RockTrooperJeep
Thanks for acknowledging my comment and your prompt response. If you don't mind my asking, I'm also using the exact royal purple;that you used. Online reviewers from fellow Jeepers are a bit mixed relating to mileage that it last before changing it again, on your experience how many miles would you recommend before changing it again?
Thanks in advance.
Respectfully,
-Ed.
@@eddavinci8114 my personal frequency of change is dependent on use, so if there was a significant amount of off-roading during the window, then I would change it more frequently. I would go longer if it was just highway use.
What is the proper torque to tighten the oil filter?
18ft lbs from what I have found. www.wranglerforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=228507&d=1364497815
Excellent video. Liked the blooper too.
I see that you didn’t use a torque wrench, how did you know when is safe to stop tightening?
The top is plastic, so the torque is super low. A quick Google search will get you the exact torque specs so you don’t over tighten and crack the housing.
I would add that you put a light Coat of oil on the o ring
Now is it 6 liters or 5.6 liters
6 full 1 gallon bottles or 5.6 gallon bottles
Can you teach how to change de transmission oil and filter too..please?
Janesnapdo changing the transmission fluid and filter is not done that often, maybe at 100k miles. I’ll see if I can do a vid when I do mine. Changing out the transmission fluid does get messy though 😉
I second that request. I'm only at 24k miles on my 2016 JKU Rubi, but when that time comes I'm sure your video will be the best!
Filter doesn’t fit on any other vehicles than 11-13 Jeep
Collin McGinley definitely check your Jeep manual for the filter number and oil to use. Jeep changed the requirements often with the 3.6 engine.
I have a lot of 5-30 full synthetic that i never got to use for my old car. can I use that? Or is 5-20 the absolute?
Chooby Chooby I would only suggest using the oil that is called for in your owners manual. I believe they did make some changes for different year 3.6L VVT engines, your manual should identify what you should use.
Should say that you have an after marker cap and filter. There are 2
Good video but what’s the torque spec on the oil filter housing? I know they can be prone to leaking because of the way they’re designed.
NIghtHawk did you ever get that torque spec or are you still needing it?

@@vigilantemotors 25 Newton meters brother. Or roughly 20 ft pounds.
@@TristenApblanc yeah I have the manual on it just didn’t know if anyone helped you out. Glad you got it 💪🏼
@@vigilantemotors absolutely brother. Appreciate it and I’m still a mechanic after five years at the same place. Btw thanks for the pleasant talk. I NEVER get that in TH-cam comment sections
@@TristenApblanc anytime man! I have my own channel on here as well and I love talking car stuff with others so check it out and comment if you like. I’ll chat all day about cars lol
Why is the filter different the center stays in engine
Any tips for stuck cap
Is Pennzoil synthetic oil the right oil for Wrangler 2012? Can't always find royal purple SAE. Also my Wrangler requests 5W30. I did not get a manual when I purchased my Wrangler used.
Diana Vance you would just need to match the viscosity (5W30) to watch it reads on your engine filler cap. I know there are differences in model year for the same engine.
BTW, you can contact Jeep to purchase an owners manual or look on eBay or similar for an owners manual
Thanks Rock Trooper, I appreciate your response.
how do you reset the oil light?
Does the airdam have to be removed when draining oil from oil pan?
Not required, but I would say you can to get a better flow. Just make sure nothing gets in there.
How hard is it to take the plastic engine cover off and put it back on property?
traekwon taylor not hard. There are a couple of grommets you just need to line up then press down on it.
what year is this jeep?
JOE FORD DIY 2013
I'm a little confused. I used a different video when i changed my oil. Yours shows the oil filter being installed into the oil filter housing opposite of the other video. So, the flush part of the filter goes into the housing and the little extended "tip" would be exposed. Which way is correct or does it matter??? Great video!!!
D E there is only one way the filter can be installed, and the “clips” connect to the inner part of the cap when you remove it, this is what keeps the filter in place. You can see this in the video when I remove it from the engine.
My Jeep is a 2015 and just replaced the oil filter housing. The new oil filter housing is on revision number 6. Obviously there have been some changes to the filter housing to make it last longer and better. Those revisions may explain the noted differences.
So I changed my oil using this video. Really easy. But when I checked my dip stick I had the tip have gloss on it. But not the whole thing like yours would you recommend I put more oil in it. I put 6 quarts in it
dominic acosta 6 quarts is all you should use. Start the engine and let the oil pump thru the engine (5-10 minutes) and the shut it down and recheck. If your level is still to low, take it to your Jeep dealer or have a mechanic check it out.
I put in a little more and it's fine so probably just needed a tad more thanks
One other question how often do you change your oil on your Jeep. I use good oil like mobile 1 so wondering if I can go 5000 miles instead of 3 . What do you recommend?
dominic acosta depends how often I take it off-road, I would say on average around 5000 miles.
RockTrooper cool thank you
This is an excellent video, but Rock should have told you NOT to over tighten your oil plug or filter cap, and also have your engine at operating temperature before draining the crankcase.
Richard Madej thanks for the feedback! You are right, I just assume this is a known item however I should have mentioned that as well.
ThanQ brilliant, need to add the Oil reset
What is the torque rating for Oil filter and Drain plug?
Shinead Charlie check your Jeep manual, it should be located in there.
My User Guide (Owner's Manual?) does not list any torque values. Maybe they don't want us doing the work ourselves....? If anyone has that information, please post it.
Haha- nice- I have a White Wrangler and sport the Imperial logo too...
Trooper brother!
What year model is the a Rock Trooper? I want to make sure I get the right filter for my 2013.
Sherrybization B 2013 Rubicon, it is the 10th anniversary edition. Same as your 2013.
Thank you for good and detailed video!
Did you notice any increase in MPG by using Royal Purple and K&N air filter?
Thank You!
Ilja, there was no noticeable gains in fuel with the K&N drop in air filter, nor the Royal Purple oil. I use royal purple because of the advanced protection, especially when driving off-road. I replaced my air intake with a R2C Cold Air Intake not too long ago, finalizing the video now. After I installed the R2C, I did see a noticeable gain in MPG.
+Ilja Vorontsov BTW, you can see the R2C CAI install video here: th-cam.com/video/xWZumq0XWDc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you John for posting another great video. You're getting better MPG than I do with my 35's! So now I am convinced and will proceed with similar upgrade :)
I spy gold zinc color suspension parts. How does it ride?
Manuel Nuno yes, that is the Metalcloak gamechanger 3.5" lift. Ride is great, both on and off-road. Never had an issue
Hi John ! Thank you so much for this video. But i was wondering, do you always change the filter when you change your oil ?
Hey Romeo, thanks for the feedback. Yes, every time I do an oil change I do change the filter as well, just best practice IMO.
I bought my 2017 JKU a couple months ago now and I have been thinking about where to go for the oil change.... But after seeing the simplicity.. I'm going to give it a try myself. I do have a question though... I got it at 7 miles... The dealer never told me when to get my oil changed... Do you do it at 3k or 5k?
Yes, it really is that simple. If you just purchased your 2017 Wrangler, check with your dealer to see if they had included oil changes. Typically they will give you the first 3 (or a year) free. If not, yep just follow along with the video. As for frequency of the change, I would suggest on the earlier than the later side, especially when new. If you start using synthetic oils, you may be able to extend miles before changing.
RockTrooper I'll call them up and find out! Appreciate the info and help!
Good job
What size socket for filter and drain plug?
Enzo Amore both the sizes are stated at the 1:20 mark in the video.
This video is not adequate for JK models 2014 and above as the oil filter design is different and requires special attention to how the used oil filter is removed from the filter cap and where the O ring on the cap is placed. It does matter and the consequences for doing it wrong involve a crushed filter by those in cold climates and in some cases crushed filters on initial start ups. Also, a poorly placed o ring results in oil leaks around the housing.
does the jack that comes with the car do a good enough job to lift it for an oil change?
You should not need to lift your Jeep to do an oil change. You do want to make sure the Jeep is on a level surface or if you do need to jack up your Jeep to get under it, make sure it is level and you have proper support underneath for safety. I would suggest that you use ramps to drive up on in place of using the jack to lift your Jeep higher.
thanks man
Do I need to update system in the Jeep or just leave like that... Is the maintenance sign will appear if I don’t do that?
Never mind, I got the answer!!
