I've gone through 4 O2 sensors that were covered in oil and the shop couldn't figure out why. I started doing some digging and found out my PCV valve was leaking oil and dripping onto the O2 sensor causing it to fault out.

Dang, must be nice that yours is a manual transmission doing this job. If you had an automatic there wouldn't be room to come from the bottom and up top the transmission dipstick would be in the way.

@jeepinintexas6215 Oh, that's interesting. I didn't realize there would have been any real difference. That's good to know. I might have to note that in the description otherwise, it's probably fairly unhelpful for most people that likely have an automatic.

@@JeepsLimited you can remove two bolts holding the dipstick to transmission case and back of the engine to free up some slack to manauever it though.

OEM parts are the way to go. Bought my PVC valve from Mopar Genuine Parts On-Line for $81.00. Still over priced in my opinion, but don’t buy from a dealership. They have a 200-300 percent markup on their parts.

I know that part. 2 hours later and still not out. cant get two hands in there. maybe a stubby ratchet, i will modify one of my older ones. Been a mechanic for ever and nothing so frustrating than some engineer designed crap. they could've put that valve anywhere on the engine. should be a 10 minute job

@@zeke1200 his is a manual transmission so there's no dipstick tube in the way. It makes things so much easier without that being there. My advice when you get the torx bolts out, go to the hardware store and get some hex head bolts to replace them. Then you can use a closed end wrench on them when you have to do this again.
