926-959 Full Aluminum Engine Oil Filter Housing with Oil Cooler

Our review of the 926-959 full aluminum engine oil filter housing kit finds it is a practical, heavy-duty replacement for the factory plastic unit for owners of compatible 3.2L and 3.6L V6 vehicles. The bottom line: this kit replaces fragile plastic housings with a lightweight aluminum assembly that reduces the risk of leaks and debris entry into the engine, while adding an integrated oil cooler and robust gaskets and sensors for improved oil temperature control and longevity.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction: The lightweight aluminum alloy housing resists cracking and will not suffer the frequent breakage associated with the original plastic part.
• Integrated oil cooler: Cross double-layer design with multiple plates improves cooling efficiency so engine oil runs cooler and lasts longer under load.
• Complete kit: Supplied with sensors and gaskets to simplify installation and restore sealing where the factory unit often fails.
• Direct fitment: Designed to replace specific factory part numbers and fit a wide range of 2011-2016 Chrysler, Dodge and Ram models with 3.2L and 3.6L engines.
• Improved reliability: Replacing the fragile OEM plastic housing reduces the chance of oil leaks and contamination that can damage engine components.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners and independent mechanics who need a durable, direct-replacement oil filter housing for 3.2L and 3.6L Pentastar V6 engines in 2011-2016 model-year Chrysler, Dodge and Ram vehicles. It is especially useful for drivers who have experienced oil leaks or housing cracks with the OEM plastic unit and who want an upgraded cooling solution.

It is not intended for vehicles 2017 and newer if you require an oil pressure sensor fitment that changed after 2016, and buyers seeking a dealer-authorized OEM housing for warranty reasons should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• More durable than the original plastic housing, lowering leak risk.
• Integrated oil cooler design helps keep oil temperature down during heavy use.
• Kit includes sensors and gaskets for a more complete replacement job and easier installation.
• Many customers report good fit and value compared with OEM.

Cons

• Oil pressure sensor may not fit 2017+ models, so confirm year and sensor compatibility before purchase.
• Aluminum construction changes repair approach compared with plastic OEM parts and may require slightly different installation care.
