How To Replace an Oil Cooler/Oil Cooler Housing | Common 3.6 Pentastar Oil Leak Problem #dodge

Publicado 2021-05-04
Hey yall,

In this video, Fernando and I are going to show you how to replace an oil cooler housing (sometimes called an oil cooler). A failed oil cooler is common on these 3.6 Pentastar Engines due to their plastic design, It can cause an oil leak or a coolant leak.

The skill level needed for this job is intermediate. You just have to be careful not to over tighten the fastener because they are plastic.

Thanks for watching, check the links below to get the part from amazon, although I recommend getting it local.

    AWESOME!! Never thought in my life that I would tackle this project. In the middle of replacing bad oil cooler on my 2013 Ram 1500.(I'm taking a beer break). I didn't even know what an oil cooler was or where it was located until a few days ago. Your video gave me the confidence to do it myself and save myself $1,500 at least . Thank you so much I just found your site and will continue to go to it for future repairs. I really appreciate you guys!!
  • Thank you, you save me a lot of money I don't have experience but I fixed my durango watching your video you are awesome man 👏👏👏👏
  • Just did this repair, I am pretty sure this part is a specialty part because I only found it at NAPA as well. Thank you for the fun, casual, and clear directions on this fix.

    Just found your channel. currently have a 2018 Wrangler getting the lifters and rockers replaced, along with spark plugs. 105k miles on original plugs! Thanks for the videos!
  • @leondiggins6585
    Excellent video. This cleared up some confusion I had concerning my oil cooler leaking coolant and where it's located. I could do it but don't have the tools or the time. Will let my mechanic do it at the same time he's repairing the lifter/rocker clicking. I hope to replace all the lifters and rockers.
  • This video helped me so much. I have been trying to make sure I have all the parts go get my Dodge Journey's Oil filter housing replace as well. I have less anxiety now. Thanks

    Good video. I bought an aluminum housing off eBay new with new intake manifold gaskets, and it took me about 2 hours.
  • Solid video my guy, you saved me time & money for this job, appreciate ya
  • @matts6303
    Solid video on this process, just had to do this adventure to my jeep, for anyone wondering Mishimoto has an all aluminum oil filter housing upgrade instead of the guaranteed to fail all plastic, spend the money and be done.
  • @rogeryanez8107

  • @pzro6869
    This was an excellent video tutorial and much appreciated. You showed all the major disassembly/reassembly well, you hit all the important points and you explained the finer points very well. Took all the mystery out of this repair. Thank you!
  • @reidhulshof3645
    My 2014 wrangler has been well behaved but I’m prepared for the oil cooler to do it’s thing at some point. Great video
  • @Wonderer67
    I subscribed because you gave the torque specs. I have watched 20 videos and they just tighten the bolts down without torquing them. Thank you.
