926-959 Upgraded Full Aluminum Oil Filter Housing with Sensors

In this review of the 926-959 upgraded full aluminum oil filter housing, the bottom line is simple: this is a direct-fit replacement for owners of 3.6L and some 3.2L Chrysler and Dodge vehicles who want a more durable, leak-resistant alternative to the OEM plastic housing. The reviewer found the aluminum construction and included sensors and gaskets make it a practical service item that reduces the chance of breakage and oil leakage, while fitting into factory mounting points without modification.

Key Features

• Full aluminum housing: Replaces the fragile plastic OEM housing with a stronger metal body to reduce cracking and oil leaks during service life.
• Complete kit: Ships with the oil cooler, filter housing, oil filter, pressure and temperature sensors, multiple O-rings and gaskets, and mounting bolts so the job can be completed without extra parts.
• Direct fitment: Designed to match OEM part numbers and bolt patterns for 2011-2016 3.6L vehicles and specified 3.2L fits, enabling straightforward installation with factory alignment.
• Pre-installed seals: Gaskets and seals are pre-installed where appropriate to simplify reassembly and reduce the risk of installation errors that cause leaks.
• Sensors included: Both pressure and temperature sensors are provided so the cooling and oil monitoring functions work immediately after installation.

Who It's For

This assembly is best for owners and independent mechanics working on 2011-2016 Chrysler 200, 300, Town & Country; 2011-2016 Dodge Charger, Challenger, Journey, Durango, Grand Caravan; 2012-2016 Jeep Wrangler; and Ram ProMaster and 1500 series specified in the fitment list who want a robust replacement for the OEM plastic housing. It is also a good choice for rebuilds where the oil cooler or sensors need replacement at the same time.

Customers who should look elsewhere include owners of vehicles outside the listed fitment years or engines, or those who require an exact branded OEM part from the original manufacturer; this aftermarket aluminum unit is an upgraded alternative rather than a factory-branded housing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Aluminum construction improves durability compared with the OEM plastic housing.
• Comes as a full kit with oil filter, sensors, seals, gaskets, and bolts for a single-stop replacement.
