Somusen Aluminum Engine Oil Cooler & Filter Housing Kit for 2017–2018 3.6L V6 — Direct-Fit, Sensor-Ready with Gaskets

Somusen's upgraded aluminum engine oil cooler and filter housing kit replaces the fragile factory plastic unit to provide more reliable sealing, faster oil cooling, and built-in sensor readiness for 2017–2018 V6 3.6L Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and ProMaster vehicles.

This all-in-one kit swaps the original plastic oil filter housing and cooler for a durable lightweight aluminum assembly, complete with new gaskets and sensor ports to restore proper fit and function. Designed for direct fitment to the 3.6L Pentastar V6 used across many 2017–2018 model lines, the Somusen unit reduces leak risk, improves oil temperature management, and arrives with replacement seals so you can complete the repair with confidence.

How does this aluminum housing improve reliability compared with the stock plastic part?

The Somusen housing uses a corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy and a cross double-layer plate cooler design for higher thermal transfer and structural strength versus brittle plastic housings. That lowers the chance of cracking, warping, or gasket leaks, which are common failure modes on the OE piece.

• Material: lightweight aluminum alloy for improved durability
• Construction: cross double-layer cooling plates (8-layer thick + 8-layer thin) for better heat dissipation
• Sealing: new gaskets included to prevent oil seepage at installation
• Sensor-ready: ports and fittings for factory sensors and switches

Will this kit fit my 2017–2018 V6 3.6L vehicle and replace original part numbers?

Yes — the kit is engineered as a direct replacement for many Pentastar V6 applications from 2017–2018, matching OEM mounting points and sensor interfaces. It corresponds to a broad list of factory part numbers so you can cross-check compatibility before ordering.

• Compatible brands: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, ProMaster
• Model coverage: Chrysler 300/Pacifica, Dodge Challenger/Charger/Durango/Journey, Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee/Wrangler, Ram 1500, ProMaster 1500/2500/3500
• Part numbers covered: includes many OEM references such as 5184294AC, 68105583AA, 68365925AA, 68295556AA and others
• Engine: designed specifically for the 3.6L V6 Pentastar engines used in 2017–2018 models

What does the kit include and what will I need to install it?

The Somusen package supplies the aluminum oil cooler housing, replacement gaskets, and sensor-ready mounting points so you won’t need to source separate seals. Basic mechanical tools and routine shop supplies are required for removal of the old housing and correct torqueing of the new unit.

• Included: aluminum housing with integrated cooler, replacement gaskets, sensor ports (as applicable)
• Required tools: hand tools, torque wrench, drain pan, clean rags, engine oil and filter as needed
• Installation note: follow torque specs and replace any retained sensors or fittings from the OE assembly
• Service support: Somusen offers 1 year product quality support with 24-hour response

How does this part affect oil temperature and engine protection?

The upgraded cooler increases heat transfer surface area so oil can shed heat more efficiently, helping maintain more consistent oil temperatures under load. While it doesn't change engine design, better oil cooling and leak-free sealing reduce stress on oil and components compared to a failed plastic housing.

• Cooling design: multi-layer plates improve thermal exchange
• Result: steadier oil temperatures during extended driving or towing
• Protection: reduced contamination risk from leaks and debris ingress
• Longevity: durable aluminum construction outlasts brittle plastic units

Who is this for: Aimed at technicians, DIY mechanics, and fleet owners who need a robust, direct-replacement oil filter housing and cooler for 2017–2018 3.6L V6 vehicles. If you're replacing a cracked or leaking plastic housing, upgrading to an aluminum assembly with included gaskets and sensor compatibility delivers a longer-lasting repair and restores oil cooling performance.
