Dorman 926-959 Patented Upgraded Aluminum Engine Oil Filter Housing with Oil Cooler and Filter Compatible with Select Models (OE FIX)

I don’t often write reviews, but I had to for this one. I work as a mobile mechanic, and I get a lot of calls for failing oil coolers on Chrysler products — especially the 300s. The original oil cooler is notorious for leaks and a ton of related issues. Whenever I replace a failing cooler, I always look for quality parts is best compared or above OEM standards, and this one goes above and beyond. Not only do you get a complete aluminum oil cooler, but it also comes with the oil filter and intake manifold seals, replacement screws for installation, and a port plug for specific models — which alone would cost about $80–$90 separately. This kit was clearly made with mechanics in mind. It saves me time and money by including everything I need in one box, so I don’t have to make an extra trip to the parts store. If anything, I wish this came with injector seals but that’s me being picky. The included gaskets are high-quality, and the color-coded design with a card explaining the gasket change - a nice touch. The cooler performs better than the original and keeps temperatures lower. Installation-wise, the cooler itself is easy. The hard part is just getting to it. Once installed, it fits perfectly in the valley, and I’ve had no oil pressure issues at all - in all my time installing these units. If you want to save around $150, buy it online. And if you want to save yourself a headache, get the Dorman cooler. Trust me, this isn’t a job you’ll want to redo.

I used the 2016 jeep jk dorman part. It worked perfectly. It's been several months since I installed the part. It's perfect. BUT, if you have a jk, you might notice (like I did), that after 90k miles, your oil cooler AND valve cover gaskets will begin to leak. You should expect to replace all of these gaskets. I did them all and have resolved all oil leaks.

Purchased this for when mine finally let go, unfortunately had to install in recently. I did my own research on what actually had to come apart to do the install, replaced the part on the car trailer in the driveway in about 2 hours. The quality of this is leaps and bounds better than factory, easy to assemble and install and comes with a great list of alternative oil filters that can be used with part numbers. This was a great buy and definitely got me out of a jam.

Perfect replacement for the plastic oil cooler. I swapped this part out 10 months ago and haven't had any issues with it. Took about 4 hours start to finish to do the replacement and it didn't require any specialty tools. However absolutely drain your radiator and your oil before starting this repair. I thought I could get away with not removing it because I had the front of the car propped up and all of the fluid continued to bubble up into the valley of the engine and I wound up having to do a full radiator and oil system flush when I finished. Seems to be perfectly functional and super durable and I'm very pleased

Perfect fit replacement for my 2013 Chrysler 200 V6. Love that this came with all the gaskets and oil filter included, so there isn't anything else you need to buy. If you are doing this, its also a good time to maybe replace your spark plugs (and maybe coils). NOTE: This will require a different oil filter than the one for the 2013 Chrysler 200. There is a little plate on the oil filter cap that has which models are required, but this can be hard to see especially with the engine cover on. If you don't do your own oil changes, you might want to make sure you let the service techs know of this. They make the cap orange to help it stand out. The quality of all the parts is great. No need to try and flatten parts, or get rid of burs. Dropped right in, and included everything you need to do the job.

Installed into a 2019 dodge caravan. Had to sand down some shape and built up edges to make sure no flakes ended up in the engine. Perfect fit and gaskets seem like good quality for aftermarket installation. 25000 miles later and still no leaks or issues. Oils filter is cheap and should be replaced at 5k miles or less.

Factory unit is plastic which cracked and allowed coolant to leak. I am confident this is a lifetime fix.

Needed a quality replacement for the oil cooler/filter housing on a 2019 Cherokee (KL) 3.2L pentastar v6 with approximately 62k miles on it. It began to leak oil and I elected to replace the assembly to save future trouble. Normally I’m no fan of Dorman but this product looks and functions well for the money (especially compared to the OEM). You do need to transfer the temperature sensor and oil pressure switch over, install new seals for the oil cooler and coolant return connection to the block. (Seals Included) It even came with the upper and lower intake gaskets. The kit is well thought out. Take your time and clean the valley of the block. A fluid evacuator during removal could minimize the mess and use of tons of towels to clean up the oil/coolant that inevitably comes with breaking the connection between the block and cooler assembly. I still recommend pinching off the coolant hose to the cooler. Initial fit went well but, watch the threaded holes for the cooler in the block. If they fill with coolant or oil, it can hydrolock the bolt and cause you to strip out the hole. Clean the threaded holes prior to installing. The more time you clean, the less second guessing you’ll do after everything is back together. Good luck out there!

The product is made in Malaysia and is of low quality. Why was it not made clear that it was made in Malaysia? I want American made. In general, the quality is bad. There is no professionalism in the final appearance. Aluminum alloy inserts are not equal and I do not recommend purchasing them.

After smelling a strong odour coming through my heater vents, I initially thought the exhaust was leaking but the pools of oil rapidly forming under the car let me to research leaks on the Grand Caravan, and this became the number one culprit. I watched a bunch of videos online about how to replace this, and as a fairly competent home mechanic with basic level tools I took my time, checked and double checked everything, and had the whole thing done in probably 3-4 hours outdoors on the driveway. It's been a week and no more smells or oil leaks. It's not the cheapest replacement part, but the quality appears to be good, and there is some basic assembly required so make sure you have all the tools before you start. A lb-in torque wrench is a good idea if you want to be precise as well as something like water pump pliers or hoseclip removal pliers. Car trim removal tools proved really useful for loosening old hoses. Also, I'd recommend getting an oil transfer/extractor syringe that will make light work of cleaning out most of the pooled oil that will have collected in the valley between the cylinder banks. Much better than soaking it up with paper towels. In some online guides they will instruct you to remove the fuel hose from the injector manifold - i found it easier and quicker to remove the airbox, leave the fuel rail connected and simply flip the injector manifold over to where the airbox used to be.

Installed a few months ago and still no problem. Throw away the plastic OEM junk and replace it with Dorman alloy parts. That's the way to go.
