Engine Oil Cooler With Oil Filter Housing Adapter Compatible With 2014-2016 Chrysler 200 300, Dodge Avenger Journey Durango, Jeep Cherokee Wrangler, 68105583AF

Like many Pentastar 3.6's my oil cooler started leaking. I did some research and found many aftermarket coolers made from aluminum. I am not a professional mechanic but was able to do the job in about three hours. The toughest part was getting the upper manifold off. There was one nut holding the manifold to the manifold bracket on the front drivers side I could not find. It is a long screw that comes out of the manifold through the bracket with a 10mm nut.The aftermarket cooler has two sensors where the original had only one. I am guessing that some versions of the 3.6 have seperate pressure / temperature sensors. I left the upper sensor installed to keep the hole plugged. I had to reuse my old pressure/temp combo sensor as the harness fitting was a bit different. The different sizes were probably intentional to keep you from using the wrong sensor.Torque specs:Oil filter housing 106 in-lbsLower Manifold 106 in-lbsUpper Manifold 89 in-lbs

Price was good and the oil cooler fit perfectly. I reused my sensors based on previous posts because I never want to remove that darn thing again. I also used the new intake gaskets and I have zero leaks. You will need to purchase an e-torx socket set because the cooler is mounted using E8 bolts. Overall the job wasn't too bad, the toughest part was removing the upper intake. The 4 horizontal mount studs on the drivers side were the biggest PIA because you have to shift the intake left in order to clear the brackets. I ended up removing those studs using my new e-torx set and reinstalled them once I had the intake back in place. The studs threaded into the intake so i didn't have to reinstall the 4 nuts.

Easy install, so far so good. But does anyone know what part number that oil filter has? Its different than the type I can find for my 2012 Durango V6 3.6L engine.

Excellent Value and exact replacement

We did replace the Oil Cooler with Oil Filter Housing in 1 day in my 2017 RAM Promaster 2500 High Roof 159WB 3.6L Gasser. Hard work but we did it.We also replace plugs and coils.Cargo Van is running smooth and no more oil leaks.

The o-rings for the oil ports melted after 3 months. Needless to say I wasn't too thrilled to have to remove and replace this unit again so soon. I have reached out to the company to file a warranty claim, so we will see how they handle it. Even if the customer service is great I will not take a chance on this product again, and will replace with the Dorman version.

I was nervous about buying Amazon parts, but this housing was great quality and they provided all the additional gaskets that you need. I have driven 1k miles since replacement and no issues yet. Highly recommend
