Hello!
I recently baught my first Grand Cherokee at auction. I have a 1994 with the 4.0 6 cyl that has 129,000k. My friend noticed smoke coming from it on the drive home, upon inspection I found oil on the bottom of the truck, and my oil was low. I washed the engine off (after replacing the oil filter) and found that the leak was coming from the oil filter housing at the large O-ring. I baught A replacement O-ring and then went BONKERS trying to fugure out what tool to use to get the filter housing off.
I have browsed several forums (this one is the best so far :smile: ) and tried a T60 torx bit and several alan head bits. I have gone to several auto parts stores and they have been helpful, but no one can tell me what to use, even my local chrystler dealer. So I after all my rambling I am just asking if any one has replaced this themselves, and if so, what did you do it with?

Thank you,
Jim :smile:

If you are talking about taking the oil filter off, they sell an oil filter removal tool. If not, then I honestly do not know what you are talking about. Sorry

I had my 94 gc oil seal ,next to the engine ,replaced at a independent shop, was relativly inexpensive , bout $20 as i recall

also..you may want to check the oil pressure sending unit to see if it s leaking as well, it s in the same area

Thanks for the reply guys!
I wasn't talking about pulling the filter though, that's easy, it's what the filter is attached to that had me beat. 20 bucks at a shop sounds darn good to me, I'll heve em check the sending unit as well, thanks again! :biggrin:
