great video .one thing i like to let it drain as long as you too ;but i got a major tip for you that you didn't think of i guess. take off the oil filter first .take off the oil pan drain plug second .third take off the oil fill cap . yes you might need a larger or two buckets to catch all the oil BUT! with all the "holes" open it creates a better flow to empty out even more oil. same idea as having the vent cap in a gas can or tank .
Yeah I had a little bit of time so I wasn’t concerned with making it drain as fast as possible and I didn’t have another drain pan. I should have taken the oil full cap off first, though.
Thanks so much! Followed step by step as a first time changing my own oil. (2018 Jeep Compass latitude). Maybe bc I have non-trailhawk version, but oil plug and oil filter were located FRONT passenger side, not rear passenger side. Locating and loosening the oil plug and filter was half the battle 😅 Thanks Again!
Good on you! Id say the key things are making sure the filter and drain plug are tight, making sure the new filter doesn’t get double gasketed, and making sure to fill the engine with proper amount of oil. Just make sure to check everything over before start up and you’ll be fine!
Teach her everything you can so she don't have to be stuck Relying on guys to do it for her. I went to school for Automotive Mechanics but now I own a Construction Company and I try to Teach my Daughters everything I can so when I'm gone they can take care of themselves and not have to rely on a Guy.
We have the trailhawk also, when you loosen the oil filter the oil runs down on top of the skid plate. I punch a hole in the middle of oil filter with a center punch to allow the filter to drain and avoid this.
@ TonyTheTruckGuy You became pretty popular with that video you made my friend. Everyone has their own little tips and tricks and I was taught back in the old school days to do filter 1st & Oil pan drain 2nd. I thought they were nuts at first, however actually saves you if you accidentally drop the filter because there's no oil in the drain pan to splash back on you. As as long as you do it properly and tighten everything up properly I guess it doesn't really matter. I tried the trick of punching a hole in the filter and never had luck with that. However an empty plastic beverage cup does work well. Food for thought & keep safe out there My friend.👏👏👏💪💪💪
Yeah the punching a hole thing never worked for me either. Just keeps dripping all day and makes a mess lol. The cup method you mentioned, or a plastic grocery bag seem to be the best I’ve found unless you’re willing to just accept fate like I did 😂 Thanks for watching!
I like to put a piece of cardboard big enough under the oil pan so if there's any spills it will land on the cardboard and I also have a roll of paper ready to clean it up of I have too.
Hey man love the video. I know it's a bit of an old video now, but it helped answer all my questions for when I do mine. One question did pop up in the middle 😅 just curious why not remove the skid plate? I'm assuming it would be a pain to do but I still wanted to ask.
Hey! Glad I could help! Just 1 reason really and that’s because it wasn’t necessary for me. If I was struggling to get the filter off or on, or didn’t want to deal with any oil hitting the skid plate, then I would have pulled it, but it just wasn’t necessary for me.
Great video! Only filters I go with are Wix, Purolator or Bosch (which is basically a rebranded Purolator) for European cars I only use Mann, Mahle or Hengst. Great video nonetheless!
Yo revisaría el manual del propietario.

Hello, I have a Jeep Compass 2018. When I bought it, it was new. I see that it consumes a lot of oil, it does not even reach 5,000 miles and it no longer has oil. Sometimes it tells me it changed oil and sometimes it does not and I have to carry an extra bottle of oil. What can I do? my friend
It’s either burning the oil or leaking it out if you can’t even go 5,000 miles without adding any. Any leaks will need to be fixed and if there’s no leaks, then the engine is worn out and needs rebuild or replace.
I can’t remember the exact filter dimensions, I just recommend a strap style filter wrench that pivots. They’re typically found at your auto parts store by the filters anyways.
@@syy8976 Haha dang, usually oil changes are one of the actual affordable things at the dealers. Maybe they hiked up the prices to less people bring oil changes in so they can focus on bigger jobs since covid is I’m sure hindering the amount of work they can do. Either way the oil change on these is pretty easy so win win.
Good video. I don't understand your logic in bringing engine up to operating temperature before checking and adding additional to proper level. All that is required is that the engine oil pressure is up to normal limits.
My guy, thanks for the video. It helped a shit ton! I swear whoever did the last oil change on my rig super glued that mfing filter on. Had to pull the screwdriver method to get it cracked lol. Im doing the 60k maintenance and wanted to know what brands for everything required you'd recommend? N was wondering if you knew if it's necessary to change all ignition coils when changing the plugs
Glad I could help! I wouldn’t do coils unless you’re having misfire issues. As far as oils go, I would just stick with the factory recommended 0w-20 and make sure you’re getting a good quality synthetic oil. I like Pennzoil, Amsoil, Valvoline, Schell, etc. Filters I always go OEM or WIX.
You can definitely do it at the same time, I just wasn’t sure if my oil bucket was big enough so catch the oil from the filter and from the pan at the same time
Hello! I am writing from Ukraine through a goog translator. I am the one who drives after you on your broken cars) Question for the oil. Can you please tell me if I can pour a thicker oil? Our country has a warm climate. Please reply
I recommend using only what the manufacturer recommends, 0W-20 and 5W-20 are same thickness when warm. You could probably use a 30 weight and be fine, but I'm not sure if it's necessary.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy as they explained to me, 5w30 has a large wall and the motor will last longer with it. And 0w20 was developed to fit into modern norms and standards of ecology, economy and the like. What will the Americans say to me, who deal with this brand more than Ukrainians?
It’s a love-hate relationship. If you’re just cruising at 60 you can get 30ish. Problem is you have to wring it’s neck to merge onto the highway, etc which takes more gas, so it only averages low 20’s with some city driving.
It's funny because this is literally one of the only videos where I'm not wearing gloves for something like this 😂 And people are usually giving me shit for wearing them.
I like to wrap the filter with a grocery bag so once it spins loose it just pours into the bag
Nice man thanks for the tip
Great tip
....or a disposable cup
Also, just put a moving blanket under the car.

One thing I do with my Trail hawk oil change Punch a small hole at bottom of the Oil filter let it drain that way save the mess ;)
Tried that method several times, but the damn filter just never stops dripping and I'm too impatient to wait all day for an oil change lol
Super helpful, Tony. Thanks so much!

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!
What is the Torque for drain oil Bolt and the oil filter?? Thank you
30 ft lbs on the drain plug, and for the filter I recommend hand tight plus an additional 1/2 to full turn with a strap wrench if you have one.
Bro that was definitely helpful...thank you!
What was the website you were looking at with all the specifications?
Prodemand.com by Mitchell1, but it requires a login which you have to pay for.
Thanks for this amazing video well done all the info. I need to know you great 👍

What filter wrench do you recommend? I didn't see one listed in description.

Yeah buddy, it's like the only video that actually shows you what to do lol. I got a 2020 compass latitude.
I’m glad to see people are actually finding this video useful. I wasn’t sure how popular it would be haha
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yeah our jeep needed the oil changed and every shop is outrageous with prices, so I just said fuck it I'm gonna do it lol

@@TonyTheTruckGuy yeah that is a good point, but yeah all I need is oil and filter then I'm good to change lol
@@TonyTheTruckGuy how long do you recommend to let the car idle, before changing the oil ? Five minutes? Ten?
You’re awesome bro thank you
Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good video. I don't understand your logic in bringing engine up to operating temperature before checking and adding additional to proper level. All that is required is that the engine oil pressure is up to normal limits.
Yeah idk my mind must have been in the gutter that day because I literally never run an engine to temp just to check the oil 😂

The 2020 takes part number 4892339AB, AB replaced AA for the 2020 compass.
Thanks for the update!
So shouldn't take out the filter and let it drain with the drain plug? Do it seperate?
You can definitely do it at the same time, I just wasn’t sure if my oil bucket was big enough so catch the oil from the filter and from the pan at the same time
hi, do you know how to reset 40k+ km inspection warring?
I’ve never had any of those pop up on this Jeep haha. Didn’t know they even had that. Have you tried holding down the ok button?
Nice how to. 😎👍
hi what website did you use to view the torque specs. please
I use the account my work has through Mitchell1 called "ProDemand". It's similar to Alldata. Can use Google in a pinch.
