3.6L Engine Oil Cooler Filter Housing - Durable Aluminum Upgrade

Our review of this 3.6L engine oil cooler filter housing finds it is best for owners who need a robust, direct replacement for worn or cracked plastic housings. The standout reason to buy is its durable construction - a heavy duty aluminum body with a stainless steel cooler that resists corrosion and feels substantially stronger than the original plastic part. Fitment covers a wide range of 2016-2018 Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep models with the 3.6L V6, and the package includes the housing kit plus a 12 month warranty for added confidence.

Key Features

• Durable construction: The aluminum housing and stainless steel oil cooler resist corrosion and provide a longer service life than typical plastic assemblies.
• OE fitment: Manufactured to match original equipment dimensions so it installs as a direct replacement without extensive modification.
• Wide vehicle compatibility: Fits many 2016-2018 Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep models powered by the 3.6L V6 engine family.
• Replaces many part numbers: Cross-references common OEM part numbers so it is easy to confirm compatibility when replacing a failing unit.
• Warranty and support: The kit ships with a 12 month warranty and seller support for installation or troubleshooting questions.

Who It's For

This part is for drivers and independent mechanics who want a stronger, metal replacement for a factory plastic oil filter housing on 3.6L V6 vehicles. It suits owners repairing leakage, preventing future failures, or upgrading to a corrosion-resistant cooler without changing engine internals.

It is less suitable for vehicles outside the listed fitment years and engines, or for those who prefer buying OEM-branded dealer parts for warranty continuity. Buyers who cannot confirm exact part cross numbers should check fitment before ordering.
