After watching MotorCity Mechanic’s vid: To Upgrade or Not To Upgrade your 2011-2013 3.6 oil filter housing/cooler. No problems with fitment whatsoever! Direct drop-in! 😁🤙🏽 I also purchased a used 2014 Housing (Complete assy; Just needed the cooler & filter cap) from ebay & transferred the cap & cooler to the Dorman housing with the OE hardware & kit supplied cooler seals.

Thanks for the heads up about this Dorman 926-876. Just finished installing it on a 2014 Chrysler 200 S. It fit perfectly and seems to be a high quality part. No more leaks and no more check engine light. When cleaning all of the fluid from "the valley", be sure to suck the oil out of those threaded holes where the oil filter and cooler housing bolt into or the fluid will pressurize as you tighten the bolt which could throw off the torque reading or even strip the threads of the block.

I've been getting a check engine light every once in a while for the dual stage oil pump. I took my Jeep to my friend's shop and he tested everything, no issues with the pump. He said it could be the oil pressure sending sensor that's on the back of the oil filter housing. I'm thinking of replacing the whole thing with the aluminum housing. I had the plastic one replaced last year at the stealership $1200.

@MikeLifeHack 5 месяцев назад

Hey David thank you for taking the time to make such an informative video. We own a 2015 Chrysler T&C . We were on vacation about 2 and a half hours from home and you'd never guess what failed. Yes, you guessed, the Oil cooler assembly was leaking antifreeze all over the transmission housing. With that said I didn't have my full compliment of tools. But knowledge is everything. I went ahead and got the replacement cooler from the dealer in Atlantic city, installed it and got us home. After seeing your video, I will keep in mind should I have the issue again in the future to upgrade to the aluminum block. I was thinking that if there was a way they could modify the aluminum part So that the o-rings would not be crushed flat on the block and possibly use the snorkel portion. There would be more of a physical contact than just pressure from the torque of the bolts. Thank you again so much for all you do!

Very well presented. I think the Dorman all metal adapter is the right way to go. Replacement plastic originals or aftermarket versions are time bombs. Why waste time? Made in USA is a sure plus as well.

@brooktyler710 Год назад

Here's a little trick. Because there's a reservoir in the engine that collects about a litre of oil, you might not realize your filter housing is leaking until it spills over. You've just been adding oil and not been aware of it. You can buy some time and avoid oil on the driveway by parking your Jeep on a 45 degree incline (I used a snow bank) and letting the oil drain out of the reservoir. Voila! No more oil on my driveway until I did the repair in the spring! 🙂

How’s the Dorman working out? I just picked one up for my 2012 wrangler. I have new a Mopar oem unit as well that I have yet to install . I’m on the fence about which one to use. I know the oem units are still having issues and I’ve read where some people are experiencing leaks in the Dorman unit where the cooler bolts to the assembly.

@kayoss662 Год назад

I changed the oil cooler housing on my 2011 grand Cherokee 3.6. The Dorman housing WILL fit. But, you need to buy a new cooler for the 2014+ years. Also a new oil filter and filter cap as the old ones will not fit. I went through four different caps before I found one to fit. Dorman had a problem with the manufacturer or something, so check first. My engine had 136,000 miles, so I figured while I was in there I had the injectors cleaned and replace spark plugs. Glad I did. Just for piece of mind I put on new oil temp and pressure sensors on. The housing itself was back ordered for 8 months. A tip for the grand Cherokee ease of installation is to take off the wiper motor and cowl. I am just a Shadetree mechanic, and was feeling pretty intimidated before doing the work. But it actually wasn’t so bad, and I’m happy to say my jeep is running with no oil leaks👍🏼

Myself I guess I buy the plastic OEM for the gen 2 and put it on the gen1. Even if the Dorman may fit your model changing the cooler and have to reuse the old seal is a deal breaker if you can't get that gasket. And knowing how Dorman parts are I would just buy the factory one and save any problems. Thanks for the heads up David. I would also buy a new water hose that goes to the cooler myself since it is a pain to get in there. I get new spark plugs since your into it.

For anyone looking, Dorman now offers a kit ( part#926-959) for the Gen1 Pentastar 3.6L oil filter housing adapter that is aluminum, and has a bright orange cap with a metal tag to notify anyone changing the oil that it requires the new style filter.

@Mike_44 Месяц назад

Hey, I have a ‘19 Pacifica 3.6L V6 gas. Do you know the new engine oil filter part number to but after installing the Doorman unit?

@tonycharron73 Месяц назад

@Mike_44 Hi Mike. Looking up your 2019 Pacifica, it already has the newer style oil filter than our 2012 required. The 2012 kit provided an orange filter cap to bring awareness to the oil filter change moving forward, which now would require a 2015+ model year filter. In your situation (being a later model yr 2019), no upgrade would be necessary for your oil filter number. There are actually a few different kits sold that can just be the aluminum housing only, or one with the complete kit with a "black" filter cap. The biggest reason for the leak, is over tightening the cap when doing oil changes. Good luck with your upgrade..... its not hard, just takes time. Be patent 😉👍🏻

@Mike_44 Месяц назад

@@tonycharron73 Thank you for the heads up, I really appreciate it. I will be tackling this job soon. Btw, is it possible to replace the oil cooler without having to drain the coolant or I absolutely have to? I was thinking of clamping the coolant line that feeds the oil cooler before removing it. What do you think?

@tonycharron73 Месяц назад

@Mike_44 clamping the coolant hose is totally an option. You may need to top off the coolant afterwards for what little has been lost in the old adapter. Ne mindful, that you will have air in the system from the new housing, so pay attention to things like oil and coolant levels and temps for the first few days, to make sure all is good 👍🏻

I am in Ct so could be pretty quick if they have it. In the meanwhile, I have only lost a few ounces of coolant and oil, so I suspect it's more the O-rings than a cracked housing. I was also told to replace the O/P sender as cheap insurance. Seems they are prone to leaking through the plug area.

So this aluminum assembly should work on the first gen. Just make sure if you take your car for an oil change make sure they use the newer style oil filter. Fyi. I do all my own maintenance.

@saraho5846 2 года назад

You replaced it with the Dorman or mopar? I’m not seeing how it wouldn’t fit either unless it’s because you need to use the aluminum cooler from the 2014-2016. In that case you could just purchase that part separately. I’d like to purchase the Dorman cooler but I don’t want to tear everything out to have it not fit and have to wait to order another especially when all these parts are about $300

I recently installed one of these on my 2018 Durango 3.6L. The fit and finish of my doorman unit was very bad. Every casting line was sharp and internally where they drilled the oil galleries into the part there was left over bits of aluminum flashing where the drill broke through. Also had sharp machining remnants inside the oil filter tower that would have cut up the o-ring on the cap. Spend a lot of time with a file and 150grit deburring wheel to clean the part up. Don't know if the one I got some how missed a post machining step in a vibratory deburring pot or something? Ultimately installed and so far no leaks.

I'm guessing this vid is gonna be updated soon with the new 926-959 kit, as I was super excited to see it only to get the gut punch of no gen 1 coverage. Dorman 's site does list the 959 kit as covering gen1, but im gonna still touch base with them to ensure that. The new complete package looks absolutely awesome, hopefully go a long way in stemming some of the *MANY* Problems the gen1 engines in particular have. Yes, I'm still bitter over my 13 gen1 wiping itself outt at 110,000kms - not miles, kilometers. I've now got 50,000kms on the replacement engine, it's coming up on needing plugs anyway so if Dorman states this 959 kit is a perfect fit, my jeep is getting it no question. Thanx for the update!

Posted a pic on the kit that I received yesterday. Yeah the complete kit with cooler and orange oil filter cap is a one side fits all. Has everything you need just have to swap over the sensors and assemble the unit (comes in pieces). Orange cap is a warning that if used on a gen 1 that you will need a different oil filter then what the vehicle normally calls for. Will hopefully do a video on the new kit soon

I don't think I've ever seen someone promoting a Namrod product...but in this situatuon it looks like they stepped up and have something better than oem. I have 2 of these engines on the road so I'm sure I will be doing this at some point.

Just put one on my 2017 wrangler. Did coilpacks/plugs and then 2weeks later i get a black puddle on the ground. So i had to go right back in again which i should have done the research before. Put new sensors in as well.

@kumuhonua808 Год назад

Much appreciation, and many thanks for all you do! Do you have any concerns with the included Dorman gaskets and o-rings vs OEM?

My wife had a 2013 Wrangler. Had an oil leak. Was not going to put the crappy plastic OFS back on. Bought the Doorman 2014 OFA for it. Plus a new 2014 cooler that would fit on this new housing.. New sensors. Install was easy. So new OFA and Cooler. $200. I also bought a 2014 filter for assembly but used the old 2013 cap. Pulled the guts out of the cap. Works just fine. I also bought Baxter Performance adapter for the OFA. So running a Royal Purple inverted Oil filter. No dry starts anymore. So the Doorman OFA does work with the 2013 3.6 Penstar. Just have to buy a 2014 cooler and gaskets.

It does must isn’t cost affective to do. But Dorman came out with another version since the video that includes everything to make it a one size fits all no matter the year

@cestiff7177 2 года назад

That is great. Thanks for the reply. Haven't had any issues with the upgraded housing or the new cooler. With the new OFA $156 and the cooler $50-$60 plus the new 14 sensors from the dealer ship...$270 total. The Baxter Performance adaptor was $330.

Awesome, so the Dorman oil cooler housing is compatible with the Baxter cartridge to spin on adapter?

Hi David. Is there any way to adapt a separate engine oil cooler through the factory or Dorman assemblies? I am wondering about those two threaded fittings on the very front (down low) of the housing. It is the two that had not blown out on the plastic one that you showed. Outstanding, in depth video. Thanks for posting it. Please keep up the great work.

Just had the leak and replacement on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee at 60,000 miles. The cost from a reputable shop was $1280.00. I don't know the type of part installed. The job also included a radiator flush to clear oil from the coolant system.

Can you believe it, I actually bought a counterfeit auto part. I found out the hard way, bought this direct from dorman so hopefully my oil leak is taken care of officially this time

@dondale68 2 года назад

Thank You. I do love you videos, very informative. I have the 3.6 Gen 2, are there any drawbacks to using the Dorman part? Being all alum I like! You're right, that plastic hose barb is gonna snap off eventually, it'll get hot n cold only so many times! Have to watch for an after market oil cooler to come out!

@MotorCityMechanic 2 года назад

It being sooo new to market….time will tell with the ones that I have installed

@cherylallen7395 Год назад

Great video. Replaced our 2015 about a month ago with the 'newer' version which had everything needed. Unfortunately we still have a leak up in there. Can see oil puddling up in the valley and eventually it drops out the back like before. Any ides where we messed up on it? Like to have some idea of what we missed, did wrong or need to look for before we go back in . Thanks.

Your one of the lucky few if you dont have a problem with this engine. So far with perfect maintenance I have had to have replaced, the computer at 50k, the heater line connector Plastic at 70k, rockers at 65k and now again at 125k for engine ticking.....All were dealership repaired. So either it is the dealerships not doing thorough maintenance repairs or the engine itself by design. Most was warranty covered but now out of warranty expected to be expensive to repair rocker arm issues again as dealer only warrants rocker arm repairs for two years. So sad I must say a design flaw should be repaired at no cost by the dealerships for the life of the vehicle.

@tjoyce81 2 года назад

Great video, but I would add - one of the reasons the OE unit is plastic is that plastic does not conduct heat. An aluminum housing will conduct heat. Saying that, do you think that the o-rings should be made out of viton, instead of rubber? I do think this is a much improved design, but the seals should be made to match the increased heat that this unit will conduct.

@ghostsallday 2 года назад

Great video & Info!! I plan on changing my sparks & coils soon (105k) should go ahead & replace this? If not how many miles do you usually see this go bad?

My problem-I noticed my antifreeze coolant level was depleting everyday where I had to add some. I looked for any leakage around the van to no avail. Finally after placing the problem on RU-vid, come to find out most of the Chrysler/Dodge 3.6L Pentastar V6 engines have a failed Oil filter housing and oil cooler (Made of Plastic warped due to the heat off the engine) that is a common cause of coolant and oil leaks on Chrysler 3.6L Pentastar engines. I went ahead and broke into the engine to the valley of the engine and replaced the failed Oil filter housing and oil cooler with a Dorman Upgraded Aluminum Engine Oil Filter Housing with Oil Cooler and Filter-No leaks now. With the breakdown of the engine I replaced the spark plugs, PCV valve, Air intake filter, Mobil 1 extended mileage oil change, with new "O" rings while I was there. Good Luck.
