- In this video I show you how to remove your intake manifold to replace the oil pressure sensor! Should be the same process for any 2012 and up JK with the 3.6 liter engine.
Man, I'm grateful you made this video. Saved me a bunch of headache.
Glad it helped!
Great video that i plan to exercise this Saturday. I appreciate the tone, pace and humor!
Thanks man hope it goes good!
@@JeepinJimmyyou are da MAN. Your video made all the difference. I actually replaced the whole filter assembly with the Dorman aluminum one and replaced the plugs. It took about 5 1/2 hours not counting the trip for a temp sensor that wouldn't come off the old assembly. Can't thank you enough man. Looking through your other videos... 👊
Wow a lot of work for one sensor
Definitely!
Nice and simple, packed everything I needed to know in a short time. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. Makes me feel more confident. In replacing mine.
Right on, glad it helped!
Engineer Johnny strikes again....😁😁
Lol this was a 10 minute parking lot job on the XJ😂
Im also a guy that replace when it breaks. But since my JK is overheating im doing temp, oil sensors and cooler since im not coming back here any time soon
Right on. I definitely dont want to go back😂
@jeepinjimmy My 2014 Sahara is showing fluctuating Oil PSI as low as 22 PSI & high as 90 PSI. Normal PSI is usually 48-50. I hear a loud raddling sound in stop & go traffic with low PSI. Do you think the problem is my oil pressure sensor?
the loud rattling part makes me think it might be a bigger issue!
@@JeepinJimmy Thank you for the reply. I will let you know how it goes. 👍🏻
Did you use a Mopar part? I have sometimes had issues using aftermarket parts, where the computer wouldn't recognize the new part leaving the check engine light still on. Even though the vehicle ran fine. So after a few months I would buy the Mopar part and the CEL would go out.
Thats interesting. But no I did not get the Mopar sensor. Hope it does good!
How do you get the sensor off? I bought the sensor socket but it didn’t fit and I’ve bought several deep sockets but they won’t go near the base
Dang! Maybe an adjustable wrench?
What socket did you use
Just for sensor jeep need to do better next time.
But what is the torque spec for the sensor itself?
That seems like an important torque no not allow oil to leak.
I don't see that as critical as a multibolt pattern on the intake manifold. One sensor that has sealant on the threads can simply be snugged up.
@@brentfugett2700 whether or not it is "as critical" doesn't matter. It is still critical. Some ppls snug may overtighten and shear the bolt, others under tighten and oil leak. There is no reason not to do this, other than laziness.
For anyone wondering both oil pressure and temp sensors torque (at least for my '13) is 177in/lbs. Don't be lazy, or rationalize why not to do it like Brent. I promise you when manufacturers build your car, the spec isnt "snug" lol smh
What all could I also do since I'd rather not do this twice? I will embrace the while I'm in there mentality.
Haha right on. You can also do the oil cooler and coolant temp sensor
Oh great so it’s gonna be a pain in the ass.
A bit, but not beyond a mortal homeowner. Just take your time and plan it out. This video made all the difference for me. I figure I saved $600 in labor.
Please leave all of us "while you're in there" guys alone
No.
Did the oil cooler 20k miles ago, now I have the same code... Wishing I did the sensor while in there for sure. Since it's a Pentastar 3.6L there's no way I wouldn't do the oil cooler while replacing that sensor.
