Updated video w/ Kevin Baxter: https://youtu.be/nwatVwheT0w?si=12NpNIi5YlgtvDt7 Baxter Performance Spin-On Oil Filter Adapter for Jeep 3.6 Pentastar Engine Want to stop the 3.6 Pentastar dry start-ups in your Jeep JL, JT or JK? Baxter Performance makes a spin-on oil filter adapter that is easy to install, it makes your oil filter changes easier and most importantly, it has an anti-drainback valve in it to help the oil primed in the top part of the engine. The 3.6 Pentastar engine doesn't have an anti-drain back vale in it. So about 35 minutes after you shut the engine off, all the oil has drained back into the oil pan. Then when you start it up again, it can take up 3.5 seconds for the oil to reach everywhere it is needed. Now that probably won't cause a catastrophic failure today or tomorrow, but do that time and time again and that little bit of wear could add up and shorten the life of your engine. The Baxter Performance Spin-On Oil Filter Adapter replaces the cartridge filter with an adapter that accepts a spin-on oil filter and best of all, the Baxter Performance adapter has a check valve in it that keeps the oil up in the top of the engine, so no more DRY STARTS! 2014+ Baxter Spin-On Filter https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/oil-filters/ms-201-bk-baxter-performance-cartridge-to-spin-on-oil-filter-adapter Baxter drilled a hole and placed a camera inside the oil filter to demonstrate what happens without & with a Baxter: https://youtu.be/g5aowl0skY0?si=paEhp-H4YRvyX8T9 COMPATIBLE VEHICLES: Chrysler 200 (2014 - 2017 V6 3.6L) Chrysler 300 (2014 - 2022 V6 3.6L) Chrysler Pacifica (2017 - 2022 V6 3.6L) Chrysler Town & Country (2014 - 2016 V6 3.6L) Chrysler Voyager (2020 V6 3.6L) Dodge Avenger (2014 V6 3.6L) Dodge Challenger (2014 - 2022 V6 3.6L) Dodge Charger (2014 - 2022 V6 3.6L) Dodge Durango (2014 - 2015 V6 3.6L) Dodge Grand Caravan (2014 - 2020 V6 3.6L) Dodge Journey (2014 - 2019 V6 3.6L) Jeep Cherokee (2014 - 2021 V6 3.2L) Jeep Gladiator (2020 - 2022 V6 3.6L) Jeep Grand Cherokee (2014 - 2015 V6 3.6L) Jeep Wrangler (2014 - 2020 V6 3.6L) Ram 1500 (2014 - 2022 V6 3.6L) Ram C/V (2014 - 2015 V6 3.6L) Volkswagen Routan (2014 V6 3.6L) 2011 - 2013 Baxter Spin-On Filter: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/oil-filters/ms-101-bk-baxter-performance-cartridge-to-spin-on-oil-filter-adapter COMPATIBLE VEHICLES: Chrysler 200 (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Chrysler 300 (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Chrysler Town & Country (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Dodge Avenger (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Dodge Challenger (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Dodge Charger (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Dodge Durango (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Dodge Grand Caravan (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Dodge Journey (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Jeep Wrangler (2012 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Ram 1500 (2013 V6 3.6L) Ram C/V (2012 - 2013 V6 3.6L) Volkswagen Routan (2011 - 2013 V6 3.6L) #baxterperformance #jeepgladiator #pentastar3.6 #baxter ________________________________________________________________________ Timestamps 0:00 Intro 1:54 The Baxter Spin-on Oil Filter Adapter 2:46 How to Install 5:43 O-Rings & Pipe plug 6:38 Locking the cleat 7:05 Schrader valve fitting 7:59 Wix 57045 Oil Filter 8:29 Priming the Engine 11:20 Changing the Engine Oil 12:44 Outro FOLLOW AND STAY CONNECTED Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/northridgenation?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/northridge4x4 Blog: https://www.northridge4x4.com/blog Instagram: @northridgenation https://www.instagram.com/northridgenation/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Northridge4x4 Join Our Newsletter: https://www.northridge4x4.com/pages/signup Northridge4x4 Merch: https://www.northridge4x4.com/scp/overland-lifestyle/gifts-apparel
