How to replace oil cooler / Oil filter housing? Oil Leak. 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Pentastar 3.6L

[@RoosterCogburn33]

Quoted from a shop as $550. I appreciate your walk-through helped save me a ton Thanks!

[@dratonbalat3423]

Some stuff is plastic and brittle and will break for older cars. Prepare for issues. Everything can be solved. Do it on the weekend so you have plenty of time to recover from issues. This job is harder than shown here for first timers. Watch every video you can watch. Search for hiw to change spark plugs on this engine which also will cover the top and lower manifolds. If you can take out the manifolds the rest is easier especially dealing with the brackets and back bolts. Also with this kind of labor involved, change the housing, spark plugs, the sensors and even the water pump if the mileage is up there and never done before. You don't want to go through this and find out you need to change that $20 sensor a month after that.

[@ricvourn6404]

Thank you're awesome! I changed out the oil pressure sensor and still got the engine light, but when I did the job i noticed oil was in the bottom of the housing. After watching your video, I know now why. Thank you so much.

[@richpetrillo8456]

Great video sir. Just wanted to add that I usually drain coolant before disassembly to prevent it pouring into block when you remove cooler and also please cover up those valve ports while working. You don't want anything falling in there.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Thank you for your input and thank you for watching.

[@ctbcrf50]

I didn’t need to drain the coolant went doing mine. This hose is towards the top of the system, so not much pressure to push coolant out as long as you keep the hose propped up

How much was the part?

[@davidfrisch5538]

The one time I decided to let a shop do my oil change "fire stone" .. I started to see oil in my drive way a few weeks ago and lead me to this video .. all around the plastic neck at the bottom is filled with oil just like this one .. same look under the jeep .. started not shifting at high rpm .. then I was like let me check my dip stick.. nothing !! .. top it off with 5gals of oil just to save my engine shifted great on the way back home , jeeps parked til the fix .. parts on order thanks for making this video !

[@a2zautomasters862]

Probably they Over tighten the filter and cracked the housing. Good idea not to use it until it’s fixed, you don’t wanna lose the engine. Good luck with the job. Let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching and I appreciate your comment.

[@tomsiverly6011]

Wow, great video from start to finish. I appreciate you sharing your talents with the KZbin Fam. The video confirmed this repair is a bit beyond my pay grade and skill. I had my go-to mechanic do the repair job. The cooler unit was ok, so we just did seal kit and intake manifold gaskets. After seeing this video, and all that is involved to just access the cooler unit, probably should have paid for new cooler as well.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Thank you for watching and I do appreciate your comment. Yea I recommend always changing the whole cooler since you doing all this labor. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

[@rodneylawley2760]

I am very grateful for this video. This said, I want to stress to the average non-mechanic person that this is a difficult job with lots of challenges. I managed to get it done, but it is not as easy as it appears in the video. You will need some mechanical experience and a lot of tools. You will also need the grace of God (or a really long 13mm wrench) to get that lower frame nut loosened enough to free the upper intake. Ahh, removing the upper intake..... challenging in so many ways.... Also, the all aluminum version of the housing from Dorman (which I used) is slightly larger than OEM at the base due to an unused valve port. Because of this, it is very difficult to get it into the slot while repositioning the coolant hose. Otherwise, it is excellent quality. If I had to do this again, I would pay someone else. Regardless, thanks A2Z for the great assistance.

[@rodneyboswell536]

[@chais1111]

My jeep is booked in to have this job done in 2 weeks, unfortunately I haven't got the time to do it myself. The leak is at the beginning stage and I'm not seeing my oil going down except for drips on the exhaust. My question is how safe is it to drive it for the next couple weeks. Thanks you are a pro.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Check you oil level daily. The last think you want is to run out of oil. That leak can tune into a big leak in a min.

[@its_limlz]

You did a great job explaining and showing I wanna try to fix my car my self

[@a2zautomasters862]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you. Go for it. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@n3tn0tw0rk]

A couple tips. There are 7 bolts on the upper intake. One is hidden behind the throttle body. When re-installing the upper intake push the bolts up from the bottom and unsure then a few turns so they stay up out of your way when putting it back on. It will slide right in place. The hardest part of the whole thing is the rear bracket nut loosen. You really really need an Extra long 13mm wrench. we're taking extra long!

[@a2zautomasters862]

Check out my other videos on jeeps. I mention those tips and more. Thank you

Should I drain the oil before hand? I am in the process of doing this, I replaced the thermostat housing and am doing a flush before installing the oil cooler, water is currently in my radiator. Would it be a good idea to wait until after the cooler is installed to add fresh coolant?

[@PratikChhatbar]

Thanks for the video! After a few hiccups I have been able to replace the oil cooler. The car had some hesitation to start (probably no oil running through) but it did start in 3 seconds and runs excellent! However, I am seeing oil drops under the engine and under the transmission at a very slow leak. I would appreciate any inputs/feedback. Thank you again!

[@a2zautomasters862]

The slow start it was probably the lake of gas. Oil drops might be from all the oil that previously leaked and trapped on the engine, transmission and frame.

[@olivares32688]

I thought it was the transmission leaking so I changed gasket and I came across this video looked at where u said jeep cooler leaks from between the two heads and there is a bad leak.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Glad I could help. Great you caught that before it’s too late.

[@TiredOfApathy]

Best to just change out the spark plugs during this if its been awhile. Might as well since it makes it so you dnt have to do that entire breakdown again any time soon.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Yup 100%.

[@MrErk714]

Nice video. What's the average labor time this job should charge?

[@a2zautomasters862]

I believe it’s rated for about 3h

[@thetubeschannel]

ok maybe a silly question. But where was the failure with the oil cooler? Was it cracked? Where did the oil actually come from? thanks great video - going to use this to do mine. And I just changed my spark plugs 3 months ago but didn't notice this till I looked under the car and my pan was wet with oil just like you showed. ty where was the failure?

[@WhatUpDoePhresh]

I'm getting mine changed as speak. Went with the aluminum one instead of plastic.

[@Excarituds]

Great video! I was wondering if the coolant lines nuts need to be removed/ loosen to have the intake manifold remove. Im not sure I understand why you need to have that extra slack.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Because the intake manifold is stuck between the two brackets on the driver side and the one in the back by the pass side. You have to slack the brackets to get the manifold out. I hope it make sense.

[@SerenoOunce]

Don't bother with aftermarket coolers. Plastic is very brittle. Either get OEM or full gasket set for DIY rebuild.

[@a2zautomasters862]

SerenoOunce OEM is usually the way to go. 👍🏻

At 6:25 not sure if its all models but there is an extra bolt on the manifold back and to the left. Hard to get to, mines A 2011 Laredo so not sure if it was removed in later models.

[@avs27hky008]

Hey bud. Im in the middle of my swap now on a '14 Ram 1500 3.6L. Same pentastar engine. I had the oil leak issue for awhile before I found out it was the cooler housing. After awhile the truck started having issues with accelerating. It would sort of bog down or hesitate at 3000 rpm. This is when i immediatley investigated the issue and started the swap. Do you think the new coolant housing will fix this issue. I brought into a mechanic for diagnosis and they didnt find any other codes either besides the oil pressure sensor. So im hoping the acceleration issues are just due to the part failing. What do you think?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Hey! Good stuff man. Good luck with the swap. Honestly I haven’t seen it cause that problem before but I can see oil pressure issues causing something like that. It will probably solve that problem if you have no other codes on the system. Let me know how it goes. Thank you.

[@llNATEDOGGll]

Did you disconnect the battery and/or drain the oil and coolant before or do you not need to for this replacement?

[@justincarrillo6568]

Just wondering why dnt you just change the gaskets if the vehicle was just leaking oil or is it better to change it all while you have it off ?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Those coolers are known to leak from different areas. The gasket/seals area underneath, between the aluminum and the plastic part or sometimes the plastic part cracks. If you’re sure it’s only leaking from the gasket area and you got low miles, just change that but if you got a car with 140-150k miles, I recommend you change the whole thing. Thank you for watching

Did you drop the coolant prior to this video?

[@a2zautomasters862]

You can drain some of the coolant before starting this job but anyway coolant inside the cooler won’t drain. You can just do that job and you might leak out about a 1-2Q of coolant that you can top off later.

Quick questions, for the two 13mm nuts on the driver side, I'm having a real tough time reaching the one by the firewall. did you use a long wrench to reach it?

Usually while doing the oil change if you over tighten the filter that can happen, also the difference in the heating rate between the plastic part and aluminum part of the cooler can cause these issues.

[@shawnf978]

So i have a question my friends, jeep a 2013, super similar is leaking coolant from the same area to where its filling coolant around the oil filter instead of oil, and also when filling the radiator coolant jus flushes out. and runs above the trans behind the cooler under the car. Can the oil cooler cause that issue as well?

Doorman made a aluminum upgrade do you recommend me to replace it with that one?

[@a2zautomasters862]

I actually like doorman products but I have never used that cooler from them. I would think it’s a good product

[@kwameopoku1428]

Thanks for this video. Can you please list the tools you used? Mainly the cordless nut driver and the long pry bar. Not sure if they are the official names. Thanks

[@a2zautomasters862]

Thank you for watching. Most of my tools I’m using are SnapOn tools. The cordless nut driver is a 1/4 drive long neck SnapOn, the other shorter one is also SnapOn but with a shorter neck and it’s a 3/8 drive and the long pry bar is actually a long panel popper.

Oil filter housing and new intake gasket are only parts needed?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Yes. If tune up wasn’t done in a while change the spark plugs while you @ it.

[@dieseldawg7132]

Is there no way to just replace the o rings on the oil cooler ?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Yes they actually do sell a kit for that. Just make sure the actual cooler/ housing isn’t cracked and you good to go. 854.020 Elring is the part # for the seal kit. Good luck.

[@rileylee9605]

When you get the new oil cooler, take out the pre-installed sensors and install Mopar sensors. The after market sensors throw unnecessary codes and it won't run properly, it happened to me...

[@Kiddro22]

That’s a ripoff within itself. If it’s a molar genuine part. The sensors should be mopar as well.

Hey I’m Having this issue with my jeep grand Cherokee that the oil is mixing with the coolant but I check my engine oil is fine than my oil temp is just slowly rising also the oil level was low

[@a2zautomasters862]

Hey, oil pressure is always higher than coolant pressure. So oil will always make its way to the coolant. Most likely your cooler is damaged internally.

If that part (oil filter cooler) gets damaged could it create any oil and coolant mixture? My jeep started overheating and when I checked I found oil all mixed up in my coolant reservoir and radiator !

[@a2zautomasters862]

I have never seen it go bad and mixed oil and coolant but it’s a possibility.

[@victorrivera7075]

@@a2zautomasters862 I think that was the problem because the Jeep doesn’t overheat anymore, and it was bad I was worried I ain’t gonna lie!

Do you drain the oil & coolant before starting this process??

[@a2zautomasters862]

You can, to avoid contamination.

@@a2zautomasters862 did you in this video?

[@a2zautomasters862]

@@jimmyaltamirano9192 I believe in the video if I remember correctly. I drained about 1G of the coolant before the job was started then an oil change after the job was done.

Was the vehicle throwing the P066DD OBD code?

There was no codes actually on that one, was just the leak.

Will a bad oil cooler cause your Jeep engines to run hotter than normal?

[@a2zautomasters862]

It shouldn’t unless it’s leaking coolant from the coolant side of that cooler and you’re loosing coolant or the coolant temp sensor on the cooler it self is acting up.

[@seanholland1618]

Great video man, i have a question...will this cause your engine light to come on? I have the same issue with my 2018 grand cherokee and while i was changing the oil i noticed the oil pooling in the same areas so im sure the oil filter housing needs replaced but just wondering if this would cause my engine light to come on.

[@seanholland1618]

I noticed the oil leak and when I looked at the housing I could see the oil build up around the housing thats what prompted me to change the oil thinking the rubber ring for the oil filter was bad.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Thanks for watching yes in some cases check engine light will come on for oil pressure sensor and or coolant temp.

[@tfgarvin122]

I'm having trouble with the back bottom bracket bolt. There's the coolant line that goes over the bolt. Is there a extra little nut on top of that holding the coolant line on?

[@a2zautomasters862]

It shouldn’t be a nut there. The line bracket is a tight fit around the bolt. Take your time and pry it out. Be carful don’t pry against anything plastic that might break.

[@tfgarvin122]

@@a2zautomasters862 Its right up against the bolt. I'm just worried I'll hurt the coolant line.

[@a2zautomasters862]

@@tfgarvin122 the lines are aluminum so it’s little forgiving, not as strong as steel, so if you pry against the bracket it self and not the line it should come out.
