oil

Hey guys, I filled up my oil with 5qts, then added ceratec on top of that like a not super smart person. Here’s a couple stick pics of the oil level when it’s hot- gets onto the braided line. Would you drain half a qt? Or run it? I’ve heard the horror stories

I just bought a 2018 sport and I’m in love with it. Trying to take preventative measures to make sure I don’t develop lifter tick or anything involving coolant issues. I already know I have a small leak already- so that begs the question: what can be done preventatively to keep the engine...

So I recently just purchased my 22 Wrangler JLU with the 3.6L Gasoline engine. I’ve heard word of mouth and from forums that these cars can overheat. I noticed how hot it can get when I checked the oil the other day and how quick it can get to operating temp. I heard from some Chrysler mechanics...

Hey everyone, lookin to get some opinions on an oil seep I noticed on my driver side. I can see if from underneath and it looks like it’s coming from the valve cover. It looks like it’s further back that the vvt sensor, which has a bit of oil around it too. Is the valve cover leaking on the 3.6...

Jeeps a 3.6. I had an oil change Friday afternoon. Saturday morning I drove about 30 miles, jeep began smoking from under the hood (white-ish gray, I thought it was gravel dust at first). Pulled over, the coolant cap was left off, completely out of coolant. Ended up driving it up a curb in an...

Hello, Looking at doing my axles oil change and I'm wondering: The peoples who did it in the JL and got the factory Limited Slip Differential what oil did you put in and did you need to add some friction modifier to the oil ? trying to know if I can get away with just the standard friction...

What oil brand is everyone using I have been using pennzoil ultra premium 0-40 Srt filter. I’m wondering about the fuel dilution and definitely worried about the copper. Does anyone else have oil analysis that I could compare with. Does anyone also have any recommendations on why copper would...

I wanted to replace the stock oil drain plug on my 2019 JL 3.6 V6. Does anyone have any recommendations for drain plugs with or without a washer? Not sure if that is really needed but if anyone has used an aftermarket plug or something else from mopar please drop a link. Looking for something...

Was laying under the Jeep checking something else out when I noticed my oil filter was shiny and covered in oil. No droppings on my driveway and it’s my DD so not sure when/how or how much oil is actually leaking but crazy this is my second leak in less than 2 months. My front crank seal was...

It’s ok to make fun of me for using a torque wrench on a drain plug. I’m no mechanic and usually break things by torquing bolts too much. Anyone have the office spec?

Good morning/afternoon/evening all! I'm scouring the interwebs and searching for any advice or recommendations you might have. ? I have had my 2023 Willy's Wrangler for a whole month now and seem to be experiencing my first issue. ? It's a 3.6L v6 with an entire 1,500miles on it and for the...

My wrangler only has 28,000 miles and I accidentally bought the penzoil platinum high mileage engine oil instead of the regular engine oil of the same brand. Is that okay to use on my wrangler with only 28,000 miles? Stupid mistake but I don’t want to go out and buy a new one haha thanks

Need some help from the forum since my dealer is struggling. At 6000 miles, I’ve had a slow coolant level drop for several weeks. Pressure test ok. No drips. Three times to the dealer, and they say it’s fine. Today the level was higher (!), and I saw this on the inside of the reservoir bottle...

So it's a been few months since this noise has been goin off everytime I start the engine and I don't know what it could be I'm thinking it could be the starter or maybe even the timing chain but that's probably rubbish I've searched for this sound problem and some say it's because the oil won't...

Hey guys. I need some help or expertise. I crawled around the Jeep yesterday afternoon to make sure everything is tight and where is should be. Noticed some oily residue on the top of the enginer cover. Kind of hard to explain. Is this normal engine “grime” or should this not be here??? Thanks.

Like many 2.0T owners, my Jeep's dipstick is hard to read. Despite my best efforts, oil is often smeared all over the dipstick, sometimes even an inch over the full line. However, today I found a way to remove the dipstick that appears to give an accurate reading every time. Here are the...

Used for 10,000 miles on my wife’s MOAB. Her lease is up so I will be selling. Located in the Chicago suburbs (Naperville) if pickup . Will ship if paid before shipping. Thanks! Photos attached! 80$ plus UPS shipping.

So I'm changing the oil and the oil filter tip broke off and there might be a plastic piece inside. Should I be worried about it ? I was pulling out the filter and the tip just snapped off its sitting in there still. There are four prongs on the tip and one is missing.

Notice I have an oil leak that appears to be at one of the upper seals. Anyone know of anything like this happening to anyone else? Going to be contacting the dealer on Monday which is always a joy...
