Part 2/2: 2011-2017 Dodge Charger/Challenger/Chrysler 300 oil filter/oil cooler assembly replacement

[@WelhamGaming]

I can't overstate how educational and well crafted these videos are. So helpful.

[@williamcawelti505]

This is how every automotive repair video needs to be. Clear instructions step by step. He didn't just start at one point and then cut to the next going, "Now once you've got that handled..." He actually shows you. He included the tools used, bolt sizes, bolt sequence, torque specs, just in case you didn't have a service manual. Even double checking the fluid level the following day. He covered EVERYTHING. Out of 1-5 stars I'll give it 23. THIS IS HOW AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR VIDEOS ARE DONE AND DONE WELL!!!! Excellent job.

Glad mechanics like you do videos for us that like to fix cars by ourselves, I got a call tonight from my son telling me there's oil all over the bottom of my car and the car was steaming from under the hood, I checked the car (2012 charger 3.6l) and found the hose that was cracked, i wasn't sure about the oil though ? but seeing your video at least i have something to go by now. I have 185000 miles on this car, so far i have replaced the thermostat housing, radiator, Dodge replaced the alternator after it went up in smoke and other recalls taken care of along the way. It has been a good car but i dislike PLASTIC on engines....for a good reason. Good video David.

I fully agree.....plastic pars especially on the cooling system is never a great thing in my book. Glad that the video helped and thanks for reaching out!

[@drakenameless2522]

Outstanding video. I'm an idiot and did not look for the torque sequence when viewing an inferior video. Took the torque to the oil cooler at 19in/lb instead of 9in/lb on the first replacement and probably from middle to ends on the sequence. A month later its leaking again. Wish I has seen your video first, but I'm sure it'll help me on this hopefully-last time around. Excellent explanations and visuals, you are a huge credit to this resolution.

[@kevinnoble5988]

Subscriber here. Wish I had seen this video when I had to replace the lower intake manifold on my 2012 Chrysler 300! It took some time to look up the torque specs and sequence. I didn't have a problem with my oil cooler but when I did pull the lower manifold I couldn't believe the amount of stuff collected around the cooler unit. I had a problem with mice eating wild cherries on my manifold and spitting the pits into the hollow below. I used an air hose to blow out about 2 quarts of pits before I pulled the upper manifold and more after it was pulled. Then after pulling the lower I blew more out! Then since there were many still there just bouncing around I used a plastic water bottle with the bottom cut out and taped to my shop vac and a small hose like you used to suck the oil taped to the water bottle to vacuum another 1/2 cup of pits out before I could reassemble everything!! I am checking your feed for other 300 or 3.6 engine related videos and hopefully shortcut any future problems.

Thanks MotorCity Mechanic! Your videos are the best, most concise, accurate, and informative auto repairs videos I've watched on you tube. I used the information in your video to replace the oil filter housing on my 2013 Ram 1500. A few minor differences, but nothing I couldn't figure out. The biggest problem with the Ram, is getting to the back of the engine since it's basically under the dash. I really had to climb up in the hood area to get to a lot of stuff. But got it done, and all is well. Thanks again!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

[@expertmarksman16]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. My 2016 Ram 1500 developed this problem 3000 miles out of warranty. I watched three videos on the process and yours was the best. The Ram is a little different especially with the upper intake and an extra wiring harness, plus it is much higher off the ground and the engine sits at the extreme rear of the compartment made for some tricky reaching. The part number for my oil cooler was the AC version, which has since been upgraded to AF. Mine was leaking from the o rings on the bottom and was not cracked. The new o rings are a different material and I hope I never have to do this again.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks for commenting Ian. On the ram truck you actually can sit/stand in the engine compartment which makes a lot of difference. When it comes to the seals....to me its gamble either way and at the dealership.....I dont want to have to do the job twice. It would be different if I could see exactly where the leak is but with it being buried where it is....its almost impossible. Glad it all worked out for you in the end and thanks again for finding and for watching these videos. Make sure to subscribe.

[@lindapoworski2597]

​@@MotorCityMechanic I'm fixing my son's 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 3.6 with only 109,000 kms. There is enough room to stand within the compartment thankfully as it would've been a far reach. There was about 3" oil sitting under the oil filter housing. I ordered the aluminum one and hopefully the gaskets that came with it are good quality. Your video is AMAZING. I followed it for the whole procedure. I follow a Ford guy who has helped me immensely with our F150 timing job and Im so lucky to have found you for the Dodge Chrysler vehicles.

[@garrygutier]

I just did this job on a Jeep Wrangler 3.6L. What a PITA!......... The lower hardware to the rigid heater lines are a pain to get them off. Battery box ended slicing my wrist all over the place. One thing I do highly recommend doing if you don't have a vacuum antifreeze filler is to 1st add as much anti freeze as possible. Then after warm up and the thermostat opens shut it off and let cool down enough to crack open the caps and refill again. Disconnect the upper heater core hose to release the air pockets left in the system. Fill the hose until you get antifreeze coming out of the hard line then quickly connect them together and place clamp back in place. What this does is eliminate you from NOT having the heater work properly. The bleed screw is located under the throttle body and very difficult to access while the engine is running. That was my only option to get the heater to work. Hope this helps anyone in need.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Yeah that bracket on the passenger side is a pain for real and hard to get to the fasteners on the side of the valve cover. Sounds like you got it handled even with the struggles so my hats off to you. Thanks for the tips and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe Gary and Merry Christmas

Hi, Dave! I am gonna make a long story very short. I reinstalled original filter housing back to where it was. I just replaced o'band ring. There is a very long story to why I didthat. Now, my 300 runs like a champ. You know what? Windshield doesn't fog up anymore, feeling like stalling when making right turns (actually stalled a couple of times when idling). has more power ( used premium gas - manual recommends to use 87 octane), on freeway keep losing speed even holding gas pedal steady and much more pick up speed. All those pressure are gone Thanks to you! Next thing, I need to replace outer tie rods. I hope I didn't crack upper and lower intake manifolds (took them down and reinstalled 3.5 times)

[@MoparDan]

David, thank you for a very good two-part video on replacement of the Pentastar engine oil cooler assembly. I am considering replacing this on my nice '12 Chrysler 200 Touring convertible as an upgrade. I just need to reference left side of the engine as front and right side as rear on my car. I recently bought a GEARWRENCH inch pound torque wrench for the lower torque specifications.

[@stevemitchell3183]

Awesome video and help to get this done - I paid around $160 for the part for my 2011 300 with almost 200K - bummer for me I torqued on the intake a little too much when I was manipulating it to put on the new seals and it broke the fuel line inlet on the driver side fuel injector rail. Took me awhile to find one at a salvage yard but found one for $75 so not too bad although it added a couple days to the job while I procured the part. Once I got that thing back it went back together real nice. Hopefully the replacement part is robust and lasts for the rest of the useful life of this vehicle - 200K more!

2011 Chrysler 300, began to overheat. I changed the thermostat, waterpump, changed out the harmonic pully as it had off set and was damaging the belt. Vehicle still overheats at high idle, I noticed the build up of oil coming from a leaking oil filter housing. I know coolant runs thru there. When vehicle overheats it looses coolant but I have no coolant leaks. Can this issue cause the overheating. Going to switch out housing before I move on to radiator since everything around radiator appears to be fine. Thank you

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I would make sure that the radiator fans are working correctly when its running hot. Next thing would be to touch the upper and lower rad hoses when its getting hot and then engine not running (dont want you to get hurt by anything spinning) and see if you notice a big difference in temp. If there is then replace the radiator.

[@cholosoy8511]

Take it from someone with limited mechanic experience: the hardest part of this job is taking the intake manifold out, and it’s not because it’s difficult, it’s because is tedious thanks to the infinite wisdom of Chrysler engineers who choose the worst position for the bolts possible 🤦‍♂️. But Once you get them out, everything else is a piece of cake. I’ll suggest doing it in a day you know you will not be interrupted because you will go back and forth between the cables and hoses to make sure they are all connected. From a difficulty level standpoint from 1 to 10 (1 being oil change, 10 being full engine and transmission swap) I will say this is a solid 3.5.

I would....I have seen it leak oil and I have seen it leak coolant. Its the only thing in that location that has both. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.

[@hittz8331]

You are very thorough and clear bro...I appreciate your videos much. THANKS.

[@dustincercado]

Thanks for sharing, David! I have a 2011 Journey with the 3.6 and my oil cooler is leaking. You make this job look easy.

[@anthonybmwsoldat1530]

awesome video! thank you tons! I am guesing you are going to lose some coolant when you take off the bottom piece. so have to watch for that. my other thought is why no oil/lubricant for the seals to then manifold? i would think a slight film on them to help create a better seal would be ok. but i am good if it doenst need it too. thanks again for the video and the specs.

This has been the most informative video I have seen on how to repair this part, well done. You saved me a lot of money. I appreciate what you do and I definitely subscribed.

David, can Part 1&2 instruction be used for the 2012-17 Wrangler ?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

The jeep has a different upper intake set up. Its another version that I want to film as well when I have the chance. The torque specs and sequences are the same....just the upper intake mounting brackets. I feel that you could still take on the task knowing what you know from the video in the mean time. Thanks for watching. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already

best mechanic video I ve seen to date!!!

[@144Souldier]

I just did this on my dodge charger. No mechanic experience other than being a hvsc tech. It really wasn't as bad as I thought.

[@randywilliams3433]

I have a 2014 challenger sxt it has oil on the transmission also I noticed oil around the filter housing. I also am getting oil on the passenger valve cover. I have 90,000 miles I figured I would change valve cover gasket. And Sparks plugs and of course the housing

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Sounds like the plan I would go with. I feel that will be your leak and your fix in the end. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe Randy

@@randywilliams3433 If your talking about directly on the top near the rear of the valve cover then thats the cam sensor.....if your talking about at the rear of the valve cover with the rubber hose attached....thats the PCV valve. Thanks for asking and for watching.

Great couple of videos. I cant wait to tackle my oil cooler leak now on my 14 Durango.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Great job David . Again great to see you love what ya do and it shows man .. Keep up the great work buddy !!!

[@mikelevatino2761]

That was a great video and excellent sequential instructions. I have done these before but always like to look for short cuts . I love the fact you added in torque specs and instructions on the order of reinstallation . Thank you

Good teaching and an admiral amount of patience, not a job I'd want to do more than once, unfortunately defective part only to be replaced by another brand new in time defective part, some Asian motor companies now offer a 7 year bumper to bumper warranty, unfortunately most modern vehicles are over complicated and too dependent on plastic parts. I once heard a mechanic comment, if you don't want to see me buy a Honda , just saying!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Yeah when I started seeing plastic parts on cooling systems I knew it was a matter of time before they started failing. Thanks Ian for the comment and make sure to subscribe

[@kenik2023]

Thanks. I'm doing this on my Durango. Coolant leak at the cooler. This also explains the oil leak.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

It most likely will the cause of both. Once replaced and cleaned out you should be good to go. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe!

[@kenik2023]

MotorCity Mechanic I suspected such lol. Thanks for the vid man. I love my Durango too much to let it go.

[@kenik2023]

MotorCity Mechanic yes I did subscribe. I did a vid for newbie upper plenum removal. I'll give you a shout out in my oil cooler vid.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Much appreciated....send me the link when you get it done. I feel the same way about my Grand Cherokee....love that body style, same basic chassis as yours. Third row might have been nice but still love it.

[@Low23Key]

Man you are a life saver! All my repairs I have done on my 2011 Dodge Journey V6, there was a video on your channel for it. I noticed my oil filter housing is also leaking but it's not dripping onto my transmission yet, so will keep an eye on it once it gets worse. Dealer is charging $180 for the entire unit, pretty expensive, but I'll go with your recommendation of replacing the entire unit. Video liked!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks for following the channel and for coming back when you need help. Its greatly appreciated!

[@Bleedblackandgold51]

What a great 2 part video.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

[@gurnblansten149]

Great video. This gave me the confidence to do it myself. A couple of bumps along the way, like breaking the oil temperature sensor connector, and then the sensor breaking loose in the housing so I had to buy a new assembly and watch this video and all that ...The fluid leakage was a surprise... Also THOSE F'ING PLASTIC STRAPS! There has to be a better way than those christmas tree clips. What a massive point of frustration, trying to take them out carefully and then the plastic snaps... ARRGGHHH. Anyways, job completed thanks to you Dave.

[@donbirren9401]

Great video! I highly recommend upgrading to the aluminum housing for the 2014+ Pentastar. The housing will last forever, and the oil filter's backflow valve is part of the MO-349 filter cartridge instead of the housing where it's known to break. Also, 89 in-lbs is too much! That's 10.1 N•m. The torque spec is molded right onto the top of the upper intake manifold and reads "7 to 9 N•m." That's 62 to 80 in-lbs. You're driving those bolts into plastic and 89 in-lbs will strip the holes.

[@shotti386]

I just replaced my oil/cooler filter using your video helped out great but now im not getting and acceleration when I push down on the gas pedal. ANY SUGGESTIONS ??
