2017 Jeep Wrangler JK Oil Change in 4K

[@WeRmudfun]

*A lot of viewers have been real grateful for our DIY videos and have ask if there was a way to buy us a Beer. KZbin now has a ‘THANKS’ button under every video, Just click the button.* 😀 *It’s not required or expected, but it is appreciated. THANK YOU!*

[@robertedwards3822]

Hands-down this is the best oil change video for the JK. No nonsense, no screwing around trying to figure out what you’re doing, just a straightforward and great job. Thanks! This is my go-to video every time I change my JK’s oil just to make sure I don’t skip a step. 👍🏼

[@WeRmudfun]

Thanks Robert! We appreciate your comment . 😃

[@chie1709]

Who'd thumbs down a video like this? People, I tell you. One wonders sometimes. Thanks for this video. I think I can pull this off even though I don't have a garage as long as I make sure I don't drop engine oil in my assigned parking space

[@WeRmudfun]

Glad you liked the video. I did oil changes for many many years without a garage and this is the easiest one I ever did. :)

[@twohandsandaradio]

Just an additional warning the torque on the oil filter cap is extremely important. That's why most Jeep owners do it themselves and not the minimum wage high school kid at the Jippy Quik Oil Change and Dog Wash. If you over torque the cap it can crack and that is a $300 part and will require the top half of the engine to come off to replace. Great video by the way. None of the "apologize for holding the camera in one hand" shaking blurry nausea. Well done.

[@WeRmudfun]

Thanks for your comment and input. It definitely would not take much to crack the the cap.

[@ambroseestrada4294]

Thank you for telling us that when you take the filter out the oil drains with the engine oil, you're the only one who specified that detail. Thank you!

[@WeRmudfun]

You are welcome. 😀

[@mccdrew7012]

This is possibly the greatest design for an oil filter I’ve ever seen. You don’t see simplicity like this very often in newer vehicles.

[@WeRmudfun]

We love the filter and the location. 😀

[@blusky7072]

While having a bouncier and noisier ride than other vehicles the Jeep Wrangler does have a lot going for it in terms of accessibility for regular maintenance and interior roominess. And they are still available with manual transmission, a major plus in my book, and they are fun to drive. They are the original off-road SUV since 1941 and still going strong!

[@WeRmudfun]

This is our 4th Wrangler and our 6th Jeep product.😃

[@Soulofjazzman]

Thank you sir! About to do my FIRST oil change today by myself on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. Thank you so much for the breakdown and tips!

[@WeRmudfun]

You are welcome, Good Luck! :)

[@petergozinya6122]

I use a large piece of cardboard (that's codboard for you) to protect my garage floor during oil changes. Whenever I get something that comes in a large codboard box (ie: refrigerator) I cut the box up and save the large pieces for just such an occasion.

[@WeRmudfun]

Thanks Peter, good tip. Codboard...hahahaha :)

[@johnlocke6410]

I want him to say CHOWDAH in one of their videos!!!!!!

[@WeRmudfun]

That may happen if I convince Cheryl to make hers and we video it. LOL

[@johnlocke6410]

Just had the dealer change our oil and rotate the tires. We have 3 more freebies left. After that, I will install a Fumoto valve and do them myself. New Pig sells an oil absorbent mat called Pig Mat. I just got a roll of it. We sell TONS of it to the oil and gas people. Keep the great videos coming!

[@rael6_4wd]

Just changed the oil in my (new to me) 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport “S” 2 door. Thanks for the help guys, I enjoy your videos very much. Especially your Jeep videos! ❤️

Dude, that’s cool as hell. I had no idea these jeeps were so easy. I had to watch this to learn how to do my moms jeep and I learned quit a bit. Thank you for the video, liked and subbed. I’m really curious if the new 2020 gladiator is gonna be the same way. They say it’s just a wrangler with a bed (exactly the same everything), but we’ll see.

[@WeRmudfun]

Thanks! If you'd like to see another video on how we change the oil, my wife also did an oil change on the Jeep. 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH-pd358YtF9aZY

[@raymondjones1866]

I just bought a new 17 leftover Rubicon Recon a few days ago with 4 free oil changes I'm surprised they told me 4months 4000 miles I'm old school with 3000 miles I like that the filter canister is on top vs my Rav4 on the bottom its always have oil left in it even with the provided drag spout with new filter is the filter upside down cleaner hopefully nothing worse than smelly burning oil on a hot engine

[@WeRmudfun]

Congrats on the Rubi! They told us the same thing about the free oil changes, we chose to not take them up on their freebies. I find the filter setup up cleaner and easier to change.

[@lucaseby9029]

Very well made video!

[@WeRmudfun]

Thank You! Glad you liked it. 😀

[@Countcho]

your oil filter is in a much better location than my car. its a workout everytime i gotta change my oil filter.

[@WeRmudfun]

The Jeep is the only vehicle we have that has the oil filter above the engine. It’s so much easier than crawling underneath.

[@skorpsaiyan2361]

Also, my Mercedes CLK63 is at the top as well.

[@blusky7072]

Change the oil in my 2010 Jeep Wrangler Islander once a year or at 10-15k miles whichever comes first. I usually have 8500-10,000 miles in a year. I use Amsoil Signature Series 5W30 and their Ea15k51 oil filter. I bought It wanting an easier vehicle that I could work on.

[@WeRmudfun]

This is the easiest Jeep we have ever done an oil change on. 😃

[@1985_Honda_CRX_Si]

5:00 a tip ive learned over the years is that in order to avoid that 'glub glub glub' from the bottle, you should pour it upside down with the handle facing the funnel instead of the opening for the can. only downside is it might be a little higher than normal

[@WeRmudfun]

I've heard of doing it that way, but I've been doing oil changes for so long, I never think about until after the I'm done doing the job. LOL

[@steviecarbone4052]

Great job with the video!!Thank you 👍

[@WeRmudfun]

You are welcome, thanks for your comment! :)

[@jiffjeff04]

Good and informative video however there is a reason why the Fram filter is smaller, its because they have to make it different in someway to circumvent trade mark and patent laws. Canister filters are critical that they are the right size. I would only use original equipment filters.

[@WeRmudfun]

Thanks for your info as to why they are smaller.

[@mrsa101]

Thank you for the video and your time. it made me have a simple change.

[@WeRmudfun]

You are more than welcome! We are glad it helped you.. :)

[@ScaryFear]

Very cool. Nice to know. Thanks for sharing. I still have like 2 free oil changes from the dealership. I should probably learn to do this myself.

[@WeRmudfun]

We decided against letting the dealership do the free oil changes or ever touching our Jeep again. We had some bad issues with our dealer where Jeep Wave had to get involved. All is good, the oil changes are super easy! We'll be sending you a PM shortly. :)

[@ScaryFear]

Ok got your message. Accidentally sent the wrong contact info the first time so use the one in my second message to you.

[@WeRmudfun]

No, the dealership didn't screwup an oil change, it was the delivery of the Wrangler to us where they went above and below to be the worst dealer Jeep has ever seen! We went straight to Chrysler about it, the General Manager went out of his way to correct the issue, but we still would never let them touch any vehicle we own. The Old Man EMU was the lift we went with last time and will look at again when the time comes. Send us pictures when you get it done, so we can see how it looks. Our email is right on the KZbin Channel page

[@K3NnY_G]

Very, very, nice video. Thanks for all your work, extremely forewarning and descriptive. I wish you did every automotive tutorial I come across on KZbin honestly; don't go changing. :P

[@WeRmudfun]

Thank you so much for your comment. We don't intend to change the way we do things, just the channel we put them on. The RV and Jeep videos will now be on our GetGonewithUS youtube channel. kzbin.info :)

[@MyWalkAround]

thx! just did my oil change, using your vid as a guide! Mine is a 2012 JK, so filter was different though. Was still helpful though!

[@WeRmudfun]

Congrats! I'm not sure what year they moved the filter. 😀

[@MyWalkAround]

Actually the position was the same. Just the filter itself was different. Your filter has a plastic rod that extends down from it, mine is the opposite- an opening that fits onto a rod inside the oil case. But all the steps worked perfectly!

[@WeRmudfun]

@@MyWalkAround Cool! 😀

[@coopdeville1172]

If you are the first owner, prior to removing the oil filter cap, I use a small artist paint brush with a small touch of white paint and mark where the oil filter cap meets the filter housing ... that way i'm assured that I replace the cap to the original torqued position without using a torque wrench.... works for me !!

[@BlueRidgeKat1]

Hadn't done one on our Jeep yet and just assumed the oil filter is underneath. Glad to see it's on top like a Subaru. I do feel an oil change every 3000 is a waste of time and mostly money. There's no reason any vehicle won't go 5000 now, especially if when it even states that in the owners manual..... but whatever.

[@WeRmudfun]

We like the filter on the top of the Jeep too. I was brought up old school on fluid changes. The 3000 mile change was mainly because the Jeep was brand new and we were going on a long trip. I have since FINALLY changed my ways and switched to full synthetic oil and go a lot longer between changes. 😀

Hey guys time to change the oil on the 2017 wrangler...btw no torque specs in the manual but my real question is whether to use conventional oil or the synthetic oil. what is the Quaker state advanced formula doesn't seem to say...thanks for any input...hope you guys are doing ok:)

[@WeRmudfun]

We are doing fine, currently in PA. Hope you ae doing OK too. :) Really depends on how often you intend to change the oil. The only things I ever put full synthetic oil in was our Harley Davidsons. Anything that meets Chryslers requirements is what we would use for the Jeep. We change the oil between 3-5K miles.
