2005 to 2013 M272 V6 100K Forget-Me-Not Complete Service Kit

Store > Engine Products
100K maintenance kit to improve reliability and increase the life of your V6 engine.

These are all maintenance issues that a lot of shops miss. If you want your M272 to break down or lose performance after 100K, then just ignore these items. We are talking prevention here - not waiting until something breaks to fix it! This is a DIY SUPER KIT. If you don't think you can do this work yourself - think again. You will get five long videos watching Kent explain in detail how to do these jobs properly. And if you think you can find a mechanic that will do all this properly - also think again. You can not believe the stories we are hearing from our customers about the current state of auto repair!!

M272 V6 M273 V8 Drive Belt and Pulley Replacement Kit w/ Kent's Tool

KIT NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS OF JANUARY 2026 -- We now offer a more complete kit and the tool can be purchased separately.

Yes, that is correct. These are the same parts on all 272 V6 and 273 V8 from 2006 to 2013. That is a few million cars that are now all aging, and many have not had these parts replaced. I am not sure why many shops do not even recommend this service before something fails! WARNING!

M272 V6 Rubber Breather Hose Replacement Kit

THREE SETS LEFT -- INVENTORY SET -- Fits all M272 V6 engines from 2006 to 2013. Replace them when they become hard or cracked.

I recommend that the oil separators on the M272 and M273 engines  be changed every 40K miles to prevent excess oil from entering your intake manifold.

$76.50

M272 V6 Thermostat DIY Replacement Kit

Common failure item. Change at 40,000 to 50,000 miles to avoid problems. Video Instructions included.

Failure is more common and happens more often with these thermostats due to the internal temperature probe that goes down through the center of the housing. It is much better to replace this as a preventative measure to prevent engine overheating.

M272 V6 and M273 V8 Upper Radiator Hose O-ring Seal x 4

All 2005 to 2015 272 273 engines with electronic thermostat as shown below.

When removing the upper radiator hose for engine service, such as replacing the electronic thermostat or the seal on the back side of the oil cooler, you will have to remove the upper radiator hose.

2005 to 2013 M272 V6 Intake Elbow to Throttle Body Orange Seal

This is neglected on almost every newer gas engine I see. Replace this during throttle body inspection and cleaning.

You do the throttle body cleaning service, and you might be surprised at the results. When does this ever get done? I have experienced smoother idle, less stumbling, more power, and better fuel economy from just doing this easy and inexpensive service.

$19.70

M272 M278 OEM Oil Filter Housing to Oil Cooler Gasket

If you don't change this as a preventative measure, you risk mixing coolant and engine oil together!

Of course, you want to change this if you find oil leaking out the bottom onto your drive belt, but it can also leak internally, allowing coolant to get into your engine oil or vice versa. 272273

1998 to 2013 V6 and V8 Air Induction and Fuel Injector Cleaning Kit

Kit no longer available- but you can purchase the instructions - see below. M112, M113, M272 and M273 specific but can work on any throttle body fuel injected engine.

Why is this not regularly done?  Why don't a lot of shops recommend it? The results can be dramatic with regard to engine smoothness, acceleration, and fuel economy. Watch the video below, and Kent will explain the kit contents in detail.
