3.6L Engine Oil Cooler & Filter Housing Adapter Compatible 2011-2016

In this review of the 3.6L engine oil cooler and oil filter housing adapter, the bottom line is practical: it is a direct replacement for failing plastic housings on many 2011-2016 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles and is intended for owners who need a durable, leak-resistant fix. The reviewer found the aluminum construction to be the single biggest reason to buy, as it addresses the common problem of cracked plastic housings and oil leaks while fitting the stated vehicle applications without modification.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction: Replaces fragile plastic housings to reduce the risk of cracking and oil leaks under heat and vibration.
• Wide compatibility: Fits multiple models with the 3.6L engine and several 3.2L Cherokee and Ram variants, making it useful for workshop stocking or multi-vehicle owners.
• OEM cross references: Directly replaces a long list of OEM numbers so installers can confirm fitment against original parts listings.
• Corrosion resistance: Aluminum body helps resist corrosion and deformation, which contributes to longer service life compared with the original plastic parts.
• Integrated oil cooler adapter: Combines the oil cooler and filter housing function into one assembly to simplify replacement and reduce leak points.

This part is best for owners and independent mechanics servicing 2011-2016 Dodge Challenger, Charger, Journey, Grand Caravan, Chrysler 200, 300, Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee models equipped with the compatible 3.6L engine who are experiencing oil leaks or housing failures. It also suits shops that prefer stocking a durable aluminum replacement to avoid repeated comebacks from plastic housing failures.
