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.

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 .

​@@seatime674I went with OEM (plastic) to ensure best fit. The dealer supplies two different size O-rings for the cooler oil tube that fits into the block. The O-ring used for prior to 2014 is 17.5mm; later years use 18.3mm. The aftermarket does not support this design change and uses only one size. Not sure how critical the O-ring is, but the manufacturer thought it significant to issue a Technician Service Bulletin and provide two different O-rings. I also read on Amazon some manufacturing problems with the metal part. Holes not drilled or tapped and rough unfinished edges. I used a 1/4 inch torque wrench and repeated the pattern four times using graduated values until reaching the specified torque for both lower manifold and intake manifold. Job is not difficult, just requires patience.

Some things just need to be Oem with important vital parts that mix coolant and water.. Yes 2014-2021 takes the replacement red 0ring and 2022 and up just leave the black 0ring on...👍👍

Great video, it helped me figure out the problem with my 2016 Chrysler T&C. As Info, I had my mechanic fix it which cost $1213 (oil cooler and manifold gaskets = $469, labor = $450, new spark plugs = $173, oil change = $61, tax = $58). He indicated that it was a problem with the gaskets/seals, not a cracked housing. He said he has more metal coolers come back under warranty than the plastic ones because the metal ones are 2 pieces with more gaskets which is more to fail. He said he does this oil cooler replacement on Chryslers about once or twice a week. I hope I said this right, I know nothing about fixing cars.

As someone else mentioned, Dorman's Aluminum replacement part is a work of art. American designed and MADE believe it or not. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Just found your channel, Alex. It's clear you have a great crew that is detail oriented and passionate about working on the machines we love. Hard to find people like you. I'm redoing all this work that I paid someone to do two years ago on my Jeep with the same engine (finding that they cut corners and apparently didn't know what a torque wrench is...). Tackling the valve cover gaskets again too.

@@mcbeanin You don't need to drain the oil or coolant. Use a coolant hose clamp on the hose that feeds coolant to the cooler before separating the housing from the block. Torque spec for the upper and lower intake plenums aren't much. Especially upper to lower. That torque spec is printed on the top of the upper intake in NM. It's only like 4-9ft lbs. If you go more you will strip the holes on the lower intake. So don't use an impact or electric ratchet to tighten.

The vid was dope in helping me understand the whole thing. So I replaced it and assembled everything, but I had trouble starting my charger for the next 30 mins after the install, and then the engine turned I started hearing a loud tick like something is moving or tapping in the manifold (toward the coolant reservoir), and still having the coolant leak. I changed all the gaskets and cleaned the surfaces as well. could my leak be the hose leading into the cooler causing the leak down there. And what could cause my engine from starting and making a ticking sound?

It will be ok if i go and just refill what i miss while doing the process or just re-change it still?

Do this, make sure the engine is cold top the coolant off then start the engine and let it sit for about 20 minutes then look around the engine for any signs of coolant/water spraying out while keeping a safe distance of course don’t want to burnt let me know what you see hit me up on Instagram to send pictures of your findings and I will help the best I can

I have replaced the oil cooler twice. After the first replacement, i overfilled oil and it blew out the seals (rookie mistake). However, after 5K miles, it started leaking again. I had used petroleum jelly to hold the gaskets in place while I did the work. Could this have caused the seals to fail? Should I have put something else on the seals, or just put in with no lubricant?

Hey there you will see oil in 2 places in the engine valley that’s where the oil cooler set’s and it will look like the rear main seal is leaking that’s between the engine and transmission

The only thing i would suggest is to blow the intake area off with compressed air before removing the intakes. you dont want any rodent seeds or anything falling in after removal.

It will drain out the only downside is that you won’t be able to tell if it’s still leaking

You mean Dorman and it is not universal for the Pentastar engines. It requires transfer of the cooler component from a '14 and up OEM assembly and it is not compatible with engines with cooled EGR. So it's not quite salvation. See "Motorcitymechanic" for the specifics.
