4:24 I totally winced.

Thank you, helped me out today.

[@JJBanuelos]

No problem glad it worked for you!

[@SolusChristus3]

Successfully replaced mine following your video. Thank you! However, I still have small drops of oil formulating on the shield. I think it’s coming from the driver side valve cover. Any suggestions?

[@JJBanuelos]

Usually when a leak forms from the driver side valve cover check the hose that’s around the pcv valve it gets old & cracks then oil leaks from there making it look like a valve cover leak.

[@SolusChristus3]

@@JJBanuelos Thank you!!!

[@SolusChristus3]

@@JJBanuelos You were spot on! PCV valve hose slid right off. The pcv valve slid right out of the housing. There is no way this was sealed properly. I wonder if replacing the hose and valve will fix my small evap leak code?? Thanks again for all your help. You saved me a lot of time and money!

Is there a recommended order to tighten the bolts?

[@JJBanuelos]

Of course thanks for watching

[@MrRoadking8468]

Is there two gaskets? One for the oil pan adaptor (Cast part) and one for the oil pan (Tin part)?

[@tazin8r]

That actually looks super easy. Is there a tightening sequence for the bolts? Is the process the same for the 3.6?

[@johnnyverano1373]

You made it look easy. But it was a bit of a challenge with a ratchet and me laying down with minimal movement of my fat ass body under my jeep.

[@JJBanuelos]

Yeah i guess i did lol. Power tools definitely help a lot.

[@HillCountryPrepper]

Good information. Thanks

[@JJBanuelos]

[@ryanperkins4297]

Great video; very helpful. Had my 2010 in the shop for a separate reason, and when I asked about the oil leak, they suggested I just wait 3k miles (I'd just gotten an oil change a week prior) and that whoever changes my oil next should be able to easily replace the gasket at that time. But that if I had them do it that day (the day I had it in the shop), they'd have to drain all the new oil I'd just paid for at my oil change, and my recent oil change would've been for naught. Is that not the case?

[@JJBanuelos]

They could have just collected the oil that was just used but they’re right. It makes more sense to just add new oil & filter reassures the work was done correctly.

[@brs256ish]

Sounds like you found an honest shop. Most would just say screw you and charge you for the oil change too

[@GrossmeisterB6]

What's that nut/extension you are using there? With a little "flex" in it (e.g. at 07:00) ?

Your welcome hope it was informative enough

[@HWoodCreations]

Seems like most of the videos pertain to the upper oil pan gasket. Does the lower one hardly ever fail? I need to replace my upper as well, but wondering if the lower should be replaced to. Oil has run down to it, so not really sure if it's leaking or just from the upper.

[@JJBanuelos]

Honestly I’ve never seen the lower one leak. If you feel like the lower one might be leaking then I would just go ahead & remove it also & repair it. The lower one just using silicon there is no gasket for it. A wire wire on a drill comes in handy to remove the old silicone.

[@HWoodCreations]

@@JJBanuelos Ahh, I wondered why Ii wasn't finding the gasket for sale. That makes sense. I think mine is just oil running down from the upper. Thanks and have a good one.

[@EduardoDiaz-nf2dp]

I have the same problem and transmisión

[@bobbypeterson]

What are the clips (spacer) that hold the lines to the upper pan called? Does anyone know where I can find replacements?

[@markwilladsen5683]

What is that gadget called between your socket and extension? I want it bad, looks like a real time saver.

[@JJBanuelos]

It’s actually a 10mm swivel head on a extension. I have a link to it in my description on where you can purchase it on Amazon. Yeah they work great! Thanks for watching & please make sure to subscribe!

[@HWoodCreations]

Dang! Torque to 105!?!? I just snapped one of my bolts off trying to get to 105.

[@JJBanuelos]

I believe I said inch pounds not foot pounds on there…

[@HWoodCreations]

@@JJBanuelos you sure did. I saw 105 and then verified the 105 online and just glossed right over the inch. I'll be having fun tomorrow. It was one of the corner bolts in the rear under that cover. Gonna be hard to get to.

Yes. This was actually done on a 4x4 Jeep

When I click on your link for the gasket in Amazon it tells me it does not fit a 2015 jeep wrangler but according to your headings of your video it does. so does it or does not fit a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon?

Sorry yes this one does not fit the 2015 rubicon but the oil pan is similar. Part gasket is different. I will update my product links. Thanks for letting me know.

Lower oil pan will just use black silicone. Can be purchase any auto parts store.

[@512TXSDIY]

How did you determine it was the upper oil pan gasket and not the lower oil pan gasket or valve cover? Rear main seal?

[@JJBanuelos]

Wasn’t coming from top when I notice just lower half of engine was covered in oil. Not rear main, once lower trans/engine cover is removed the torque converter is dry. Wasn’t lower oil pan since upper one is wet. Oil can’t move up. Hope this helps. If all else fails just engine degrease the whole thing & watch for oil seepage As time goes. Hope this helps.

[@512TXSDIY]

Trailblazer Films I am going to replace both upper and lower oil pan gaskets since it’s already off and cheap.

[@512TXSDIY]

@@JJBanuelos If I'm removing both upper and lower oil pan, should I take the upper off first and then do the lower when it's already off? Or should I take the lower off, finish it, and then the upper? I'm trying to find the most efficient way to do this. Also, is the lower oil pan torque same as upper with 105 inch pounds?

[@JJBanuelos]

512 TXS If you’re going to do both I would start with the lower one first since it just use a silicone. Since the bottom one is off thank you can go ahead and take the upper one off. And then install the upper and then install the lower one. Can’t find any specs for lower one. I would assume it would be the same as the top ones.

Wes Dingman yeah for sure you really don’t need a torque wrench it’s just good practice to have. As long as there tight but not super tight it should be fine. You don’t want to have it to tight we’re all the silicone gets pushed out & doesn’t have a good seal.

How can you tell the difference

When you pull that lower engine cover the one with the 15mm bolts, you’ll see oil coming from higher up past the oil pan indicating a rear main leak.

@@JJBanuelos Hey so I'm trying to figure out where mine is leaking. Can I pull that cover with the 15mm bolts without draining anything first? IE: oil or the transmission fluid? It's just a cover right, not holding any fluids in?
