PANGOLIN Aluminum Oil Filter Housing Kit for 3.6L V6 — 926-959 Replacement with Dual-Layer Cooler and Reinforced Seals

PANGOLIN 926-959 is an upgraded aluminum oil filter housing and cooler kit engineered to replace brittle factory housings for 3.6L V6 engines, providing improved cooling, contamination control, and long-term durability.

This complete oil filter housing assembly is designed for many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram models with the 3.6L (and some 3.2L) V6 engines made between 2011 and 2021. Built from lightweight aluminum with a layered plate cooler design and reinforced sealing surfaces, the kit swaps into the factory location to restore oil flow, reduce operating temperatures, and resist cracking that commonly affects plastic housings. The part numbers it replaces include 926-959 and a long list of OEM references, and the cap color may ship in black or orange depending on stock.

Will this housing fit my vehicle and which part numbers does it replace?

This PANGOLIN assembly is matched to numerous OEM references and many model years. It fits 3.6L V6 engines across Chrysler 200/300, Dodge Challenger/Charger/Grand Caravan, Jeep Grand Cherokee/Wrangler, Ram 1500/ProMaster and others listed in the compatibility set. Always compare your existing part number or OEM reference before ordering to ensure exact fit.

• Direct replacements include 926-959, 926-876, 5184294AE and related OEM codes.
• Compatible with 3.6L engines (and some 3.2L applications) from model years 2011–2021.
• Check cap style: shipping may be black or orange but function remains identical.

How does the aluminum design improve engine oil performance?

Compared with fragile plastic housings, the aluminum assembly transfers heat away from the oil and resists cracking from pressure and thermal cycling. The kit uses a dual-layer plate construction to increase surface area and accelerate cooling while keeping oil clean from contaminants. That helps the oil maintain more stable temperatures and protects internal engine components over time.

• Cross double-layer plate cooler boosts heat dissipation efficiency.
• Aluminum construction reduces risk of thread or housing failure common to plastic parts.
• Integrated sealing surfaces and tested construction reduce leak potential.

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

The kit is designed for straightforward replacement—most technicians can perform the swap using standard tools without major modifications. It arrives ready to install (plug-and-play) and has been bench-tested for pressure and sealing prior to shipping. When fitted, use a compatible oil filter and fresh engine oil, and inspect hoses and fasteners for wear while servicing.

• Plug-and-play design for direct bolt-on replacement of factory housing.
• Pretested for leaks and durability before shipment.
• Recommended to replace related gaskets and the oil filter during service.

What advantages does this PANGOLIN kit offer over OEM plastic housings?

PANGOLIN’s aluminum housing emphasizes longevity and thermal performance to lower the odds of downtime and repeated repairs. The robust build reduces failure modes tied to brittle plastic, while the cooling plates help extend oil life under heavy-duty or high-temperature driving. The manufacturer supports the part with quality testing and a replacement/refund promise for covered faults.

• More durable against heat and mechanical stress than plastic housings.
• Aims to reduce oil temperatures and slow oil degradation.
• Backed by pre-shipment testing and a seller replacement/refund policy.

Who is this for: Technicians, DIY enthusiasts and fleet managers who need a dependable replacement for failing factory oil filter housings on 3.6L (and select 3.2L) Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram engines. Choose this PANGOLIN kit if you want a more durable, better-cooled alternative to plastic housings, straightforward installation, and broad OEM cross-reference coverage for common part numbers.
