Socket set, Wrench set, Oil filter wrench, Oil drain pan, Torque wrenchDorman’s patented OE FIX™ oil filter housing (926-959) for 3.2L/3/6L Pentastar engines is the leading solution for common leak issues on specified Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles. This reliable repair directly addresses the infamous leak-prone oil filter adaptor on these popular V6 powerplants.
The OE plastic adaptor frequently leaks due to warping at the base. Oil can also escape from the housing’s ultrasonically welded plugs after exposure to sufficient heat and age. Polymer oil filter housings (from both the OE and aftermarket suppliers) can even crack during simple filter changes.
Our rugged OE FIX oil filter housing is a proven repair for these issues, and Dorman’s innovations are backed up by multiple U.S. patents that set our units apart from the competition. The housing’s main construction is upgraded to aluminum for improved resistance to warping, cracking, and deterioration from heat and age.
The 926-959 oil filter housing kit fits specified 2021-11 Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles, and Ram 2021-12 and later vehicles, and includes the gaskets, cooler, filter cap and filter. The oil cooler and oil filter for all applications use the late-style design for improved performance and reliability, and a bright orange oil filter cap reminds you or your mechanic to use the correct oil filter (also listed on the cap) during future service.
