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

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. Read more

Get rid of the factory plastic ....Dont he fooled by copies of the Doorman , dont compromise on the price .Perfect fit, no leaks ......contruction is robust, American Made and should last forever . Dont forget to buy and replace both oil pressure sensor and coolant temp sensors. Search them independintly on Amazon . They are not expensive. Install should be done by a pro. Unless you are one.... My vehicle , 2014 Jeep JK V 6 ......This engine is in many Chrysler products... Read more

Great solution for a crappy design. Dorman for the win on this one! Everything you need to replace, all gaskets, and an oil filter are included. Fits and functions perfectly. I strongly encourage you to change oil when your in there. Coolant will leak into the oil pan. Read more

have a damn solid mechanic. I thought I had a leak — I did not — but since this part is recommended to be replaced every 36k–50k miles and my Mojave was at about 50k, I opted in. I did quite a bit of research on this product. First off, most are made in the same factory in China but go through extensively different quality control processes. This includes Dorman and Mishimoto. I can’t say how many factories or which makes which, but know they are all made there. The biggest difference is the aluminum oil reservoir — some are made differently, and they don’t all sit well. Dorman’s unanimously has the best seal. That said, you really should use Mopar and Fel-Pro Viton seals — they are the blue and green ones. The red Viton are not as good and have failure issues. Also, use Mopar O-rings, use Mopar sensors, and use orange threadlocker — it’s a bridge between blue and red, literally made for stuff like this. Lastly, pay attention to torque specs on the cap — that’s the biggest failure point for the Dorman. The “best” fix is to couple it with a Baxter adapter, but that’s another ~$400, and those are debatable. The most important thing is to follow the torque specs and don’t over-torque the cap — over-torquing compresses the O-ring, which is where most failures occur. It’s not an easy job. Each part has different torque specs, and most reported failures are due to user error and incorrect torquing. If you don’t have the proper tools, buy the part, buy the seals and sensors I mentioned, and bring it to a shop that charges hourly. Use a Wix XP filter and Mobil 1 High Performance oil. The shop I took mine to installs these regularly. I wasn’t the only one there that day, but I was the only person who brought the full kit I specified, and the mechanic was very impressed and stoked because all he had to do was build and install it. Look — it’s a great quality product that is built to fit perfectly, keep oil pressure at the correct levels, and serve as an OEM replacement. It’s covered by warranty as long as you follow OEM installation guidelines. Read more

Great quality, my truck has been loving the fact it's not leaking oil and coolant anymore. Had low oil PSI until I installed this new unit, had sluggish acceleration, a slight noise when switching between lower gears, even a shutter. Now that I have this new oil cooler installed, my truck is running like a dream. The gaskets are high quality and the instructions were detailed and very good. Read more

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.

2017 Jeep Cherokee V6 3.2 Tried a knockoff as the price point was awesome. But it didn’t fit into the oil return port. The Dorman was a perfect fit . Just wish it came with the sensors . Since I had the knock off and the Dorman side by side , I could see the craftsmanship in the Dorman was definitely better. Well worth the price and as long as you go slow and have all the tools you need, pretty easy to diy Read more
