I had an oil leak after dealer changed oil, brought it back and they said the had broke the o-ring. They replaced it and then cleaned the engine compartment.

Just changed the oil on my 2013 Crew with V6 and found a small puddle of oil under it. Figured out that my funnel fit tight in the filler hole and while pouring in the new oil, the funnel starting filling up a bit. It seems the new oil was not draining into the motor fast enough, backed up into the funnel and at the same time it overflowed around where the funnel fit into the fill tube and leaked down the side of the motor.


Don't know if this happened to you but keep an eye on it as possible.

I started a new thread in the "Off Topic" forum about this oil leak issue. It can potentially occur on ALL 2014 3.6L and 3.2L Pentastar V6s. The issue is that the oil filter adapter was redesigned for 2014, and it cracks.

Please post in the thread in the "Off Topic" forum if you have this issue. We need enough people to get mad at Chrysler that they redesign the part.
