Video Summary
Here is a summary of the key points in this video:The most common repair issue in Jeeps with the 3.6 Pentastar V6 is related to the valve train.
Most valve train issues are related to a lack of oiling or even no oiling due to dry startups.
The oil filter and oil cooler assembly lacks an anti-drainback valve, so after 35 minutes, the oil drains out of the oil filter bowl, oil cooler, and surrounding areas back to the oil pan.
Each time the engine starts, the oil pump has to lift the oil back up and refill it throughout the top of the engine.
The dry start-up can affect the longevity of the engine.
The Baxter Performance spin-on oil filter adapter replaces the OEM oil filter cartridge and solves the lack of oil during startup.
The adapter has a check valve to keep the top end of the engine primed with oil, preventing it from draining back down.
The adapter is made of billet aluminum and is anodized for long life.
The Baxter spin-on oil filter adapter is easy to install.
When changing the oil, remember to remove the filler cap and to pressurize the oil by injecting 30 PSI of air at the adapter’s Schrader valve.
When starting, remember to put both feet on the pedals.
Prime the engine before starting so it runs better.
Once the engine is primed with oil, shut it off, give it a minute or two, and check the oil level.
