After about 93,000 miles on my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk I figured it was time for a spark plug change. This process should be very similar on any 3.2L Pentastar Jeep Cherokee KL from 2014 on up. Below is an affiliate link from amazon on what I think are some of the best spark plugs out there. They fired right up and now the engine is noticeably quieter and smoother. Feels like a brand new car. I would definitely recommend them.

Also special shout out to gpfreak1 for his initial spark plug tutorial, as I made this as a follow up to his video.

This video was very helpful. It helped me understand exactly why, for a million dollars I would NEVER do this job myself!

Did this last night on my 2016. Thanks for the vid. I would love to have a conversation with the knucklehead engineers that designed this vehicle. In particular the back right bracket bolt that is sleeved and zip tied to that huge wire shroud. Was not fun. Thanks again.

Thanks for the video. I finally changed the spark plugs on my 2014 Cherokee limited after 185k miles today. I may just have been lucky. It took me about two hours and wasn’t bad at all. The car was still running well until recently when it started throwing a cylinder three misfire code. I have not had any major issues with the car since I bought it new in 2014.

Well I hope all your misfire was for was that spark plug. I wouldn’t want to worry you at all, but if you notice you are missing any coolant there is a chance that you could possibly have a head gasket/head issue. You could perform a simple block test to check for exhaust fumes in the radiator to identify a potential head gasket issue. 185k could just have been due for plugs, but if it continues with that code I’d hate for it to be a gasket leak.

Thanks for this tutorial on spark plugs and coil insulation replacements. Thanks to your tutorial, I successfully replaced the spark plugs and coil insulation in my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited V6 3.2 Liter. Fortunately, the engine components in the Trailhawk is identical to those in the Limited. Your tutorial helped me when the Haynes Automotive Repair book did not. ONCE AGAIN ... THANK YOU!

Big thanks. Got my 2015 V6 Cherokee Latitude taken care of after a P0303 code and it runs like butter now. Those old spark plugs I took out looked like hell. Saved me a ton of money to do it myself.

THANK YOU. I had a shop quote me a grand for the spark plugs and a new air filter. These are things I now how to do myself but I've never done it on a newer vehicle. While the Jeep design leaves a lot to be desired, your video made it is so easy to navigate. I appreciate you making this video. It's so easy to follow and navigate in the engine with your help. Thank you thank you thank you.

Great video! But note, the air box has a plastic locking pin next to the 10mm bolt on the top left- I believe the first one pointed out- that you can remove to avoid breaking the mount that he pointed out. And also, I wrapped my spark plug socked in electrical tape and added a tail so I could pull it back out more easily from the back.

P.s. After all this work how much more is involved in replacing coil and injector? Code indicated an issue with spark plug, coil and injector in cylinder 1 only. Thanks in advice for any advice 😊

appreciate this; gave me a heads up on what I would be getting into. That black plate was really tough for me to get on/off. Also, I couldn't fully remove the screw with the threaded plastic cap next to that hose. I just pried the plate off by loosening everything.

@Type5Reviews Жыл бұрын

When I bought the Jeep it had around 90k miles and I just wanted to replace them as general maintenance on the new purchase. The originals probably could have lasted much longer but I also didn’t want to wait until one went bad.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH , you covered the Oil Filter Housing , I was hoping to see that as I need to change it . can you tell me if that part was visible ?

@martinlahm7638 4 жыл бұрын

My Name stop the video at 1:55. In the center bottom of the image you see a black hexagonal shape with internal ribs (looks sort of like the old empty markers for a Trivial Pursuit). That shape is the top of the oil filter housing and is what you put a hex socket on to remove - the entire top part of the housing turns. Seriously annoying it is plastic, be careful not to damage or strip the housing when removing or reinstalling.

Did you ever find out if you were able to get to the housing from there? I have to replace the oil pressure sending unit and have been hunting down videos to get to the sensor
