A-Premium AC Compressor with Clutch Compatible with Jeep Compass

In this review the A-Premium Air Conditioner AC Compressor with Clutch is evaluated for owners of Jeep Compass, Patriot and Dodge Caliber models from the late 2000s to mid 2010s. The bottom line: this compressor is for DIY installers and independent shops looking for a direct-replacement unit with a prefilled oil charge and an included clutch, offering a straightforward swap when the original 6SEU16C compressor fails. It stands out mainly for its fitment coverage and the one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee, though buyers should confirm visual match and vehicle compatibility before purchase.

Key Features

• Compressor Type: The 6SEU16C design matches many factory systems so replacement is mechanically straightforward for compatible vehicles.
• Pulley Groove Quantity: The 6-groove pulley aligns with factory belt setups to avoid additional drive system changes during installation.
• Clutch Included: Comes with the clutch installed so there is no need to transfer parts from the old unit, saving time on the bench.
• Oil Prefilled: Arrives precharged with oil, reducing the steps required to bring the system back into service and lowering contamination risk.
• Vehicle Fitment: Covers Jeep Compass and Patriot 2009-2017 and Dodge Caliber 2009-2012, making it a focused option for those model years.
• Warranty: Backed by a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee, offering reassurance against early failure.

Who It's For

This compressor is aimed at owners and mechanics working on Jeep Compass or Patriot models from 2009 through 2017, and Dodge Caliber owners from 2009 through 2012, who need a like-for-like replacement for a failed A/C compressor. The included clutch and prefilled oil make it especially useful for independent installers who prefer a ready-to-fit unit without additional component swaps.

It is less suitable for users who cannot verify their existing compressor visually or by reference numbers, or for those who require extended warranty coverage beyond one year. Buyers who need guaranteed sustained long-term performance should consider professional inspection before purchase.
