GEARFLEX Full Aluminum Engine Oil Cooler Filter Housing Assembly — Direct OEM Replacement for 2017–2018 3.6L V6 with Preinstalled

GEARFLEX's Full Aluminum Engine Oil Cooler Filter Housing Assembly is a direct, heavy‑duty replacement that swaps the fragile plastic OEM housing for a corrosion‑resistant aluminum unit with preinstalled filter, sensors, and gasket.

Designed to replace worn or cracked factory housings on 2017–2018 Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram 3.6L V6 engines, this all‑in‑one assembly eliminates the common leak points and durability problems of plastic parts. It installs without modification as a direct substitute for part numbers 68308741AC and 68310865AC. The package arrives ready to fit with a premium oil filter, sensors seated, and new gaskets included, reducing installation time and parts hunting.

How does switching to an aluminum housing improve durability?

Aluminum resists cracking, warping, and heat‑related deformation better than the original plastic housings. The GEARFLEX unit uses thicker walls and precision machining to handle repeated thermal cycles and vibration in modern engines.

• High‑strength aluminum construction for long service life
• Precision machined mating surfaces to limit stress concentrations
• Improved resistance to heat, oil exposure, and engine bay vibration

Will this assembly prevent the oil and coolant leaks I’ve had with the OEM part?

The design reduces common leak sources through improved sealing geometry and high‑quality gaskets. Properly torqued installation and the included gasket set minimize seepage where housings and coolant/oil passages meet.

• Upgraded internal sealing surfaces engineered to reduce seepage
• Premium gaskets included to ensure a tight factory‑style seal
• Preinstalled components lower the risk of installation errors that cause leaks

Is this a direct replacement and what vehicles does it fit?

This assembly is built as a direct OEM fit, engineered for 2017–2018 3.6L V6 engines from Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram. No cutting, drilling, or adapters are required for a like‑for‑like swap.

• Direct replacement for part numbers 68308741AC and 68310865AC
• Fits 2017–2018 Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram vehicles with the 3.6L V6
• Preinstalled oil filter and sensors reduce installation steps

What’s included and how does it affect installation time?

The assembly ships complete so you avoid buying separate sensors, filter elements, or gaskets. That lowers the number of steps and parts to track down, making the swap faster and cleaner for DIYers and shops alike.

• Full aluminum housing with sensors already installed
• Premium oil filter preinstalled for immediate use
• New gaskets included for one‑time proper sealing
