926-959 926-876 Aluminum Engine Oil Cooler Filter Housing - Durable

In this review of the upgraded aluminum engine oil filter housing for 3.6L engines we look at why owners of 2011-2016 Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler and Ram models should consider replacing the original plastic housing. The bottom line: it is a direct replacement with an upgraded reinforced aluminum construction that aims to stop recurring oil leakage and cracking that the plastic original often develops. Fit and long-term heat resistance are the primary reasons to buy for anyone tired of repeated failures.

Key Features

• Upgraded construction: Reinforced solid aluminum construction improves corrosion resistance and reduces the chance of warping under heat compared with the original plastic housing.
• Direct replacement: Designed to match the original car so it can be installed directly without modification on compatible 3.6L engines.
• Improved durability: The stronger housing effectively avoids oil leakage and breakage that occur with aging plastic units.
• OEM-level performance: The oil cooler meets or exceeds OEM standard and is factory tested for fit and function.
• Wide vehicle fitment: Compatible with many 2011-2016 Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler and Ram models, reducing the effort of finding the correct replacement part.

Who It's For

This part is best for owners and mechanics who want a long-lasting, serviceable replacement for the fragile plastic oil filter housing on 3.6L V6 engines used in many 2011-2016 model year vehicles. It suits drivers who have experienced oil leaks or housing cracks and prefer a metal solution to reduce future maintenance.

It is not aimed at owners of vehicles with engines other than 3.6L or those who need an exact OEM plastic part for factory originality in restorations. If you require a part outside the listed fitment or need a different material for specific warranty reasons, look elsewhere.
