I’ve changed oil more than a thousand times but still you manage to make a simple oil change video so great! Great content!
Thank you sir!
been some while since I did my own and wanted to make sure I didn't forget where everything was located. Love the fact that this is straight to the point.
I just bought my TJ and this video makes me happy. I love that everything is so accessible and that I don’t have to jack it up. My Dad’s old friend was crushed under his mustang in a freak accident in the 80s and i’ve always been iffy about that ever since. This is a peace of mind video, man. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Tim!
Cant wait to have my own tj, im 15
Very cool! your gonna love it when you get it
KyleSVT the funny thing is ive only been in one jeep and it wasnt even a tj it was a 4door jk
That's gonna be the coolest 1st vehicle ever.
Same I’m 15 and I just watch these vids for therapy lol
I'm 16 and have a built TJ, I love it
Some Chrysler vehicles have a "thermally locking" oil cap: gotta wait for the motor to cool down just to remove it. What's done here on the 2003 TJ is just take the cap off and let it idle for 10 minutes before tackling the oil change. To get 1 qt. more of oil for the 4.0L, a 7" tall WIX 51773 with 3/4-16 Inch threads is used. Good video!
Just came across your channel. I'm the original owner of an 06 TJ and am learning the ropes to do the maintenance myself. Your rig is awesome and the channel is fantastic. Thank you for showing step by step. Super helpful. Waiting on a friend to help me replace the rear main and oil pan gaskets.
Thank you! Glad I can help
Yes warm the oil, in fact old manuals say "preferably immediately after a long trip" so all the contaminants are still suspended before they can lay down on the bottom of the oil pan waiting for the fresh oil to pick them up.
This guy is relaxing to watch. Awesome terminator!
Thanks for the kind words!
Something I've learned to do is to pre oil the oil filter. I don't add too much, just enough to get the inside of the oil filter wet. I believe that helps with any type of oil starvation that a new dry oil filter could cause.
That glorious straight six! Has that legendary look about it
Major point in getting a TJ for me, in 2003 off the showroom floor, was the AMC 4.0L / 242 inline six with 7 main bearings with crank girdle. Nice balanced motor w/ NO balancing shafts needed = smooth running engine=AMC's last hurrah before they were bought out by the somewhat nefarious Chrysler Corp.
Awesome Video, I am so great full that your the only one on TH-cam who makes good Tj videos. Keep it up
Thanks Hugo!
Love your videos man, you're helping thousands out here
Thanks brother!
Thanks for the tip on turning the dipstick over to get a good read on the oil level. When the oil is dirty, it’s easy to see the level; but checking after the oil change when it is clean, I always struggled to see it.
6:11 When I was a teenager I was taught just to take the old oil filter and touch the gaskets together. This also confirms you have the right size oil filter
Thanks for this vid Kyle! Reminded me that my TJ is due for an oil change as well. Love your content keep up your good work.
Thanks brother!
Great video as usual Kyle. Thanks for sharing and already waiting for the next one.
Thanks Nacho!
I love the German way! Said that to a buddy and he didn’t get it and then in my best German accent I said good and tight 😂
Thanks for this Kyle! Really helpful.
Great video, thanks for making it! Nice looking TJ!
Thank you!
This was so helpful!! Just bough mine, 99 TJ and it’s my first one too!!
Glad I can help! Very cool
Just did mine following this video!
Thanks a lot 🙌🏻✔️
Awesome! Glad I could help!
I did not really need to watch the video, but I enjoy your vids and watched anyway...
I do 10W-30 Pennzoil conventional every 3k miles. A few months ago, I came across 5 qt. jugs for $10.00 each. I bought enough for 3 oil changes.
I love how on these 4.0’s most parts are interchangeable
Never get tire of admiring how your TJ look brother, color, fenders, tires and wheels, lights etc etc etc keep it up.
Thanks Luis!
I'd recommend buying some powder-free nitrile gloves for doing oil changes. Oil contains additives that are not good for your skin. Plus, cleanup after you're finished is much easier and shorter. No need for scrubbing your fingernails with pumice soap. You may get prune hands if you have sweaty mitts like I do, but that's a worthy trade-off.
That’s the cleanest TJ engine bay I’ve ever seen... 😍
Thank you!
KyleSVT you should do a video on that...
also, apologies if you’ve done a video on that 👍

KyleSVT I would’ve given my lazy ass self a thumbs down lol. But thanks very much! 👍
Great video man! Thanks so much!
Thanks bro!
This is the cleanest TJ I've ever seen wow.
Thank you!
@@KyleSVTDo you have a video on changing the radiator fan?
@@jeremiahmelson8530 No sir but If mine goes bad I will for sure!
When using synthetic, oil will still be good for up to 10k miles but oil filter is only good for 5k or so. I use a larger oil filter to help extend its life, specifically PBL30001, rated for 15k (or Mobil 1’s M1-301 if they don’t have Purolator in stock). Same treads as OEM filter. I believe it’s originally for a Ford Mustang. Seems to hold and extra half quart, so that’s good. Love that Pennzoil Platinum and love your videos and TJ. Keep it up! Hope this helps someone
Thanks dude! Yea I change ever 5k miles anyway
Thank you. I was wondering how many quarts mine takes. Great tip on the dip stick too.
Thanks Johnny!
Thanks!! Very helpfull !!🤙
Glad I could help!
Who would have thought watching a guy perform an oil change could be so calming lmao.
This guy is awesome.. you let us spend less money on mechanical works.. ...
Thanks Enver!
Very helpful indeed.
i like to put about a half quart in and let it flush the oil pab out a little better,maybe wasting oil but hey makes me feel better, nice clean tj keep it up
Thanks Steve!
I know this is older but when you drain back in the 5qt jug, you should be right around or little under 5qt back in. It’s common for most engines, especially the 4.0 to burn a qt or so between changes. Just a tip to make sure you arnt burning to much!
I have done a bunch of oil changes but decided to watch this anyway. Glad I did! I also have a 2001 TJ with the straight 6. Question...how did you get your engine so darn clean??
Thanks Neil! I bought the jeep with 9k miles so that hepled but I do this to keep it clean th-cam.com/video/aSnfu4Na8Pg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the awesome tutorial! Is there anything else you have on a tune-up, or filter replacements. About to take my ‘01 TJ on a trip from CO to UT and want to be as fresh as possible.
This is all I got so far. But I would check all your fluids make sure they are topped off and you should be good to go
I really want a jeep when I turn 16 and I’m so happy I found your channel! Where do live like what state or province not ur address lol
Live in the midwest
great video! You should do a video on how to drain/flush/change the coolant/antifreeze :D
Thanks! Great idea!
@@KyleSVT love all the effort you´re doing with the uploads on "how to". Just purschased myself an 04 TJ 4.0l and I'll have to change the coolant fluid but I feel to insecure to do it.
@@L0WlifeS10 Thanks for the support!
A Wave from Manchester UK. Love your videos Kyle, How about a LED dash conversion, Wish my wrangler was red every time I see yours...
Thanks Thomas! I don't mind the dimmer lights from the factory I feel like led will be to bright.
Awesome video, I need to done my one soon, what gear box oil you running? Thanks mate
Thanks! I'm running whatever comes stock in it
Amazing video, as always. One question, though: how often do you feel it's necessary to chage the oil? Some say every 3 months, and others say you can go longer. Again, great job on making great videos!!
Thanks! I do it every 5k miles
@@KyleSVT Thank you, sir. Can't wait for the next video!
no problem! Thanks Glenn!
Be crazy not to do this yourself....your stuff is useful and how newbies can learn about performing some basics on these awesome 4.0 engines...Question....temp. gauge.....have you changed yours, and, have you found the stock system works as is...Been seeing some videos on that, some going for higher thresholds...my gauge sits slightly under the mid mark...my experience is always to hopefully see that at the point as I am driving around, and not doing any hard driving....what have you found in that area?
Sitting slightly under the middle is just right
You should check out Schaeffer oil. They have 2 proprietary patented additives that noone else has. Micron Moly and Penetro.
Smoothest running oil I've ever found 👌👍🏁
switched to it sunday and damn is it smoothed out!
@@dylaningle9851 In my opinion it's the best ! 😎👌🏁🏁
Love this oil. Been using it in my 02 TJ for the last 5 years.
When I put the 6 quarts in my 4.0, it is always over on the dip stick. Not sure why that is. It’s always bothered me.
It's worth running high zinc oil like Valvoline racing oil for the older straight six engines like my 01 because of the flat tappet
That’s what I thought. Damn mechanic. Doing an additive today.. would have done it myself but had a lot of work done so just threw it in the work order
Iv always been thought that oil filter are just hand tight bc the gasket expands.
I live in SO CAL can I use 5w 30 ???? I notice many of you guys use 10w 30....
Is it right that the filter seems bigger than housing?
I have been taught to not use synthetic on my 1999 but to use old school with zinc.. old engine old school?? Thoughts.. shop used synthetic and now I have very minor noise. I’m gonna do a zinc additive today..
thanks for the vid brother! one quick question: what type of oil do you recomend for the 4lt if i live in florida?
10w30
Nice video dude,,.. Is that an aftermarket oil cap? My TJ has the 2part one and bottom plug but gets stuck and it does my head in
Thanks! Nope it is the factory one. If yours is coming apart I would buy a new one its supposed to be one unit
Would u recommend Full synthetic? And what brand or just personal preference...so 6 quartz nice to know what oil filter size just to add to my notes 📝 thanks 🙏🏼
i have been using rottella t5 Synthetic Blend or t6 Full Synthetic for the quality and because of the added zinc for the flat tappet lifters.
D&E In The Garage
video about oil for flat tappet lifters (jeep 4.0) th-cam.com/video/YobFtCr0Z4w/w-d-xo.html
Is the oil you using got zinc? Flat plane tappet cam.
changing oil on the 2.5L is the same thing except it drains off to the passenger side and u have to get the filter from the bottom
Good and underrated motor that was on the drawing board before the 4.0L straight six.
A little under-powered for a TJ, but v-e-r-y reliable and it'll take you where you need to be when the more modern motors are junked. 2.5L four was better than it's 2.4L replacement that came out in 2003.
Kylesvt where did you get your fenders for your tj I’ve seen the video but don’t remember what it was
Hey Emilio! I bought them from metalcloaks website
Hi Kyle great video, could you tell me approximately what diameter oil removal tool should I buy for removing the filter ? Thank you .
Thanks! My filter is roughly 3.75 diameter
Thanks !
Np!
Thanks a lot. New Sub....
Thanks for the sub!
I use the same oil but the platinum high milage versión full synthetic.
How often do you change the oil? Every 5k miles?
Yea every 5k for me
I’ve heard you don’t want to use full synthetic in these engines because it can cause the piston rings or something like that to wear.
the crush washer on the drain plug should be replaced
Thanks
My driveway is at a pretty decent angle, is too much of an angle bad on a tj if I park uphill? I have heard you're supposed to change your oil on a flat surface
Also, do you just put the old oil in the trash?
Yea I would find a flat area to do your change. No the oil gets recycled at the dump
Hi, hey I’m planning to paint my Jeep, by any chance do you know what’s the code for your Jeep color ? Thanks man!
Flame red is what its called
So I been having my jeep wrangler a year 1/2 now... still haven't changed oil, I'm out of oil on my jeep... Do I still need to do the extra steps under the car and change filter too, or can I just add in oil and call it a day
Yea do a full change
Question here, got a 02 TJ, took it to get oil changed months ago, they put synthetic in it and is now leaking some oil here and there. Never leaked before. Is it ok to go back to conventional?
I would check and see where it's leaking from and fix the issue. How many miles are on your jeep?
Sorry for being late to the video, but how do you keep your engine so dang CLEAN? I take mine offroading a decent amount and it gets dirty and I hose it down it just does not look as clean

@@KyleSVT That was fast! Thanks
@@andrewcarter215 Np! Yes lol
My TJ has 150K miles, should I be using high mileage motor oil? I normally use that exact same penzzoil.
I would
How is your jeep so clean???? dope ride
Thank you sir!
Hi, what oil do you recommend for jeep tj 2006 4.0 95,000 miles
Thank you...
I would run full synthetic in it
Do you buy into the whole diesel oil thing for the 4.0’s?
I use what the manual says but if people want to put different oil doesn't bother me
What front bumper is that? Is it textured or smooth?
Rugged ridge XHD and its textured

Just bookmarking to show my German wife who thinks American cars are toys :D
Dude that TJ is clean" you did an awesome job 😎👍
Thank you sir!
"oil filter takey off thing".
At this point, I knew I was watching a real person.
Always add oil to the filter .
Please tell me he does not kill the mother ? She moved her to keep her safe not just to keep him from questioning her
Does high mileage type oil make a difference?
If you have higher milage I would use that oil. Has some extra additives
@@KyleSVT thank you for taking the time to give me an answer, highly appreciated 🙏🏼
no problem!
The German way is the best
What front bumper do you have on?
rugged ridge xhd
Did you buy just the center piece, then purchase the bar separate? Did you get it from 4wp? Thank you. Love the way it looks on your TJ
Thank you! Yes I bought the bull bar separately and put it on. I think I got it off Amazon many years ago
6:20 "where you learn to do that"
So lame 🤦♂️🤡
