[@Silverhands]

Does the manual transmission JL have an oil cooler?

[@TylerPotter]

@@Silverhands Yes both the auto and manual have oil coolers.

[@richierich1169]

I know it’s been some time. But 106 in lbs torque for the oil cooler to block bolts? Are these torque specs for the 2012 Jeep Wrangler? That seems like an awful lot of torque for those bolts. You are also saying 89 in lbs for the upper intake to lower intake?? Metal bolts to plastic?? Really? That’s impossible you’d strip and break everything!

[@insanedeth]

@@richierich1169 Yes these are the correct torque specs for a 2012 Wrangler. Keep in mind that an inch pound is 1/12 a foot pound. Nothing strips and everything seals up nicely when you torque to spec. 106 in lbs == 8.8 ft lbs 89 in lbs == 7.4 ft lbs

[@bishopmachineshop3216]

​@@richierich1169 you are correct. The torque for the upper manifold is 62-79 inch lbs NOT 89. It is embossed on my manifold (7-9 newton meters) you can see it also on the manifold in this video, passenger side by the rear bolt.

[@MAS4956]

Hey man, thank you so much for making this video. I’m no mechanic and this was the most advanced auto repair I’ve ever attempted. I went slow over two days and did it with no leaks or codes! Besides the injector plugs being designed by satan, I got my dorman unit installed. The only thing I broke was the pcv vent tube while taking it out of the clamp. I fixed that with a short section of rubber tubing joining the snapped tube and was good to go. Thanks again for expanding this layman’s abilities!

I just did this job. Took me a few hrs. A couple of tips: Get that clip removal tool he has. There are A LOT of clips in this. Disconnecting the fuel injectors was the most difficult part. Also, contrary to what has been said, it is very easy to drop stuff into the engine so take care to make sure that doesn't happen. For removing the lower intake manifold: I disconnected driver said fuel injectors first, loosened all the fasteners, wiggled the manifold, and removed the pass. side injectors (they are the ones buried under all those hoses). Also, I didn't have that rush of coolant that he used the pinch of pliers on the back of the oil cooler for, some coolant came out but nothing significant (maybe I'm low?)

[@jamesf9206]

First off, Thank you so much for this video! It helped me so much fixing a way too common in all 3.6L engines. Second, I do caution novice DIYs on attacking this themselves. There are many frustrations that you will run into and you will question your sanity a lot. Before starting make sure you have socket extenders, some of these both are just tough to get too. Make sure you have no where to drive too for a few days because it may take you more than just one afternoon like others have been successful with, so don't rush. The biggest trouble I ran into was removing the fuel injector plugs from the fuel rail. Damn red safety clips are a bitch especially when they put brackets and wiring in your way. Something soo stupid pissed me off for too long. This project took me a solid two days of just taking my time as it was 30 degrees out. Putting things back together was a lot easier. I have been the driveway family mechanic for 10 years and I do not look forward to doing this again. Do your best to find the aluminum cooler dorman 926-876 so you can avoid cracks in the future but always out of stock! Good luck Jeepers, MillerLites help a lot.

Little things that he does quickly took me WAY longer.. like unplugging the fuel injectors.... I didn't want to break anything.. and after pulling the red tab up to unlock, it took a lot of pull to unseat them (rubber ring seal). Also, just reaching the tabs on the oil cooler was tough.. Also a 1/4 inch splined socket will work in place of the inverted E8 torx.

[@hokiejim4805]

Thank you very much. video was super easy to follow. Disassembly went fine, cleanup was a breeze using a vacuum extraction tool to suction that mess up. No leaks. Unfortunately, i pinched the map sensor connector/wires when i installed the upper intake manifold (didn't see the MAP connector and it got pinched between the upper manifold and the metal bracket where the 10mm nuts attach to the manifold studs). The wires on the MAP harness look ok but i am getting P0108 (MAP) and P0113 (IAT) errors. The Intake Air Temp sensor is connected as is the MAP sensor. Not sure if i have a vacuum leak, pinched MAP wire by the connector or something else. ugh.

[@TylerPotter]

If you take your time you should be fine, the oil pressure sensor is located on the back of the oil cooler, so you won't even need to unbolt the oil cooler, just unplug the oil sensors and replace the pressure switch once the intake is off. Thanks for the view!

[@marksuperfly8426]

It goes nice and fast when the wire connector locks just slide like they should, instead of taking 10 minutes each and then crumbling into pieces when you try to lever them with a pick or small screwdriver. And then there's the PCV vent tube that is brittle from all the heat and snaps in the middle and you try to free it from the plastic support clip. Stop work and order the part, reset 2 days later. Oh, and then you find out that your injectors are crusted with burnt oil and crud, so you order those. And you find that the prior owner spliced wires directly to the inside of the coil pack because mice chewed the connector, so now you are waiting on a new coil pack and a new connector to splice in. And while you're replacing the PCV vent tube you may as well replace the PCV valve itself, so that gets ordered. And while you're waiting for parts to arrive, you decide you don't want to do this again, so you change the spark plugs. Did I miss anything ?

Well seems like I'm the only here who did way ...way more than just the intake...I forgot where all the freaking wires go. Pretty useful for that as well. I did the oil filter housing spark plugs, timing chains and guides, Radiator, obviously oil and Coolant as well as cleaning the air filter and checked the rocker arms in the valve train. Trust me this engine is a real task to work on and you'll need alot of professional grade tools.

You can replace the cooler which is a piece of garbage and then the left bank valve train (which happened to mine) then replacing the left head because of cracked valves and not the dealer tells me that I have coolant leaking THROUGH the cylinder WALLS and contaminating the oil. He told me these are common problems. He ordered a new engine and they are on 5-6 month back order. His remedy for the wait, "drive it until it blows up" There are recalls and class action law suits for all of these problems. Stelantis has known about these problems for many years!

I just replaced the oil cooler on my Gladiator. the procedure is a little different. I also left off the silencer pad over the driver's side intake. I don't know what it silences, but there is no noticeable noise anyway. Why doesn't the passenger side have a silencer pad? Who knows, who cares. Also, I mounted the oil cooler with dry surfaces between the engine and the oil cooler o-rings to make a better seal.

[@TylerPotter]

Nice glad you got it taken care of, yeah I believe that foam pad just reduces noise from the engine but like you said it doesn't really do much lol. Thanks for the view!

[@zuberalisyed9786]

Good video with explanation...few tips doing this DIY will save you $$$ Take it easy on electrical wires clips and ensure the bolts are tightened to manufacturer specified torque using star pattern. Replace the coolant :) good luck

[@TylerPotter]

Good tips and Thanks for the view!

[@TheTrailblazer1974]

Is this video in real time like about 15min to get cooler out?

[@CarProsService]

factory recomended preliminary tasks 1/ depressurize fuel system(pull fuse for fuel pump, start eng let die) 2/drain engine coolant all the way 3/recomended/if nessasary partially drain eng oil from crankcase. id say by half at least. welcome godbless

[@robertelmo7736]

So WHICH oil cooler should I order, yours looks aluminum? 2016 3.6 Wrangler. What an awesome video.

[@TylerPotter]

Mine was just the factory Mopar plastic cooler, they do make an aftermarket aluminum now, but I haven't got to install one yet. Thanks for the view!

[@robertelmo7736]

@@TylerPotter Yes, Dorman makes on ordered it today! Funny thing, the Jeep quit leaking today? So strange!

[@mikem631]

I wish you could show the secrets on unhooking the electrical connections. I just destroyed one injector plug and now im about to destroy the plug on one of the sensors in the cooler.

[@TylerPotter]

The red lock tab needs to be pulled up 1st and then the tab on the connector, sometimes they still so stuck and still crack or break. Thanks for the view!

[@gringochoppers]

Is this the same as on a 2020 2.0 turbo?? I can't find one damn video on my exact year and Engine size..I need to replace the oil sending unit

[@Jim-uo7mz]

HELP! How the hell did you get those red fuel rail clips off? Having a heck of a time!!!!’

[@Tesla99]

2months ago i went in and did all 6coils/plugs from a one misfire. Now i get a big oil puddle and its this. So now i have to go back in again which i wish i had info about the cheap oil housing and I could’ve replaced it while i had it tore down. Story of my jeeplife.

[@TylerPotter]

The cold weather seems to knock a lot of oil cooler out.

[@Brucepaj]

Great video. What actually is the common problem with the Oil cooler. Does it crack? Do seals leak?

[@TylerPotter]

99% of the time we see the seals leak. Thanks for the view!

[@Brucepaj]

@@TylerPotter any recommendation where to buy the oil cooler and seals? Thank you.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Please change all intake gaskets and o-rings and you will stop problems for a long while. This is a very good engine if properly maintained. The 62te transmission is a very good transmission if also properly maintained with regular oil changes. Remember less than half the fluid is drained by removing the oil pan so needs done twice with filter replacement. My car gets 30mpg at 80mph so the engine is excellent as a last one before going electric.

[@TylerPotter]

Thanks for the good info!

[@erict_music]

Any ideas on how to clean out the leak once pulling out the cooler? I don’t want to pressure wash it in my garage.. it’s nasty 😢

[@TylerPotter]

Yes, I use a fluid extractor pump to clean out the valley of the motor. You can find a cheap one on ebay or amazon

Hola qué función tiene esa pieza

[@camo2108]

Designed to fail, cmon Jeep. So many have this problem. Should be class action Lawsuit. Appreciate the video, you are faster than any other video I saw on this. Question; looked like you put the MOPAR part back on? Others putting solid aluminum cooler back in. What are your thoughts on the part itself?

[@TylerPotter]

So far we haven't been seeing the new Mopar coolers fail again just the original ones, but the aluminum one would be a good option also. Thanks for the view!

[@terencegillespie6675]

Real easy. You make it look good. How many miles on that engine? 25k? Wait till its run 100k and then try to ease those plastic connectors off. Red plastic just breaks and wont move and THEN what? New connector. I’m sure no one ever put dialectic grease in any of these so it’s an SOB to deal with. Whole f’n engine is plastic and needs replacement.

[@TylerPotter]

Yeah those red lock tabs are the worst! This other video also talks about them in some more detail I believe. Thanks for the view! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2fOnaZ8ic2pirs

Will this also fix the coolant leak that I have coming from that same area of the coolant oil censor? My jk keeps overheating and coolant just pours out the engine.

[@TylerPotter]

It is a possibility we have seen some leaking coolant also. Thanks for the view!

[@jonwardell2894]

Really liked the video. Very obvious you have done this quite a few times. I was wondering why you didn't torque the intakes bolts down. I know that it doesn't take a lot of torque, but you basically seemed to snug it down by feel. Do you recommend adhering strictly to the torque specs especially since this is the first time pulling these manifolds?

[@TylerPotter]

Yes after doing so many of these you get the feel of them, but using the torque spec is always best, thanks for the view!

[@m1st3rf]

Hi Tyler thanks for putting this together. I think I may need to do this and have two questions. 1. Online catalogs suggest the correct oil cooler depends on engine plane date code but I can’t that info. I have a 2016 grand Cherokee 3.6 Laredo AWD. Do you know the correct part number? 2. You mention filling the coolant at the end but didn’t talk about draining it in the beginning. Is that necessary if you clamp the hose like you did?

[@TylerPotter]

Thanks, I unfortunately don't know the part number off hand. You could call a dealership with you VIN number and they should be able to confirm the correct part number for your application. Second even with the hose clamped you will still lose a little coolant into the valley of the engine. Draining it would help that issue or like I did in this other video I used a fluid extraction tool to clean out the valley before reinstalling.

[@DownSouth_Adventures]

Phenomenal video man!

[@TylerPotter]

Thanks for the view!

[@JasonH-nu1wd]

Overall great video - BUT - Be careful with the reassembly portion of this video - an important detail was left out that can really cost you some money. There is a specific order that the bolts have to be tightened on both the intake and lower manifold. And, obviously, they need to be tightened to a specific torque spec. Neither of those facts were mentioned in this video, and failing to do either one of these can crack your manifolds.

[@TylerPotter]

This is great info, after working on them for 13years I take that for granted on reinstalling everything by "feel" but you are very correct! Thanks for the view!

[@hybridhiker]

What order do they need to be re-installed?

[@JasonH-nu1wd]

@@hybridhiker there’s no way for me to post the diagram without violating the copyright on the diagram. Alldata is where I got the info - and Alldata is your best friend when doing any type of Jeep (or other car) repair. My approach on auto work is always to find a high quality video (like this one!) from someone who has a great deal of experience, and combine that with the tech specs on Alldata.

[@richierich1169]

@@JasonH-nu1wd hey brother, you say alldata, but exactly where can I find that info? I know it’s software and all that. But I’ve searched and searched and I can’t find anything. But I’m pretty sure that the bolt specs that were posted can’t be right. I am in the process again for the second time changing an oil cooler on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler. Someone who has no business under the hood before me destroyed threads, lost nuts and broke the lower intake bolt holes. ( 2 of them ) That I can’t do anything about except to buy another lower intake. There are two hex head oversized bolts in two of the oil cooler bolt holes and might be the whole problem why this is the third time the oil cooler is being replaced. If you can just point me in the right direction to look up the all data info i would be forever in your debt! Thank you

[@danielb4375]

Aren’t you supposed to follow a torque sequence while reinstalling the cooler and manifolds?

[@TylerPotter]

Absolutely I have the specs in the description. I have done 100's of these darn coolers at this point so I have a really good feel for them but I always recommend them being torqued if someone it taking on the job them self. Thanks for the view!

[@chrisfurlong6591]

Murphy's Law...Just did my spark plugs and about 500 miles later the Oil Filter Adapter (Oil Cooler) presented itself as a problem. Wish I knew just how common this leak was before doing the plugs. I would have done them both at the same time.

[@TylerPotter]

Of course! At least you will be even quicker taking it apart now! Thanks for the view!

[@brianwebb9121]

I have the oil leak and wow there was oil everywhere on the transmission and underbody. I have 85,000 and was also doing the plugs. I did the 3 passenger side plugs and will do the 3 drivers side ONCE after I make sure I can find the oil cooler replacement part. Here in Texas over the last month (Dec and Jan)it has gone from 80 degrees, down to 22 degrees back up to 70 and down to mid 20's numerous times, also add a very hot engine bay. This crazy warm to very cold I'm convinced is the cause of it cracking or the seals are shot. Wont know till I tear it all down. At least I will get the plugs and oil cooler done once.

[@Nathan-pw1rh]

is there a harness near or around that would cause a u0114 error code? just trying to figure where to look to find it. talks about a communication error

[@TylerPotter]

No that code shouldn't have anything to do with or around the oil cooler.

Hey man thank you very much for this Video very well explained ,,, I like to torque everything so by chance do have the torque specs for the lower and upper manifold bolts also the 5 oil cooler bolts again thank you very much for this awesome video
