Somusen aluminum engine oil cooler housing 2011-2018

Description

Product Overview

The Somusen Engine Oil Cooler Housing is engineered as a direct replacement for the original plastic oil filter housing that can crack, warp, or develop leaks over time. Constructed from high‑grade aluminum alloy, the housing provides a robust, corrosion‑resistant shell that dissipates heat more efficiently than the standard plastic component. The design incorporates an eight‑layer, 0.5 mm thick aluminum wall that balances strength with lightweight performance, ensuring the cooling system operates at optimal temperature without adding unnecessary mass to the engine bay. Compatibility is verified for model years 2011 through 2018 across a broad range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles, including the Chrysler 300, Pacifica, Dodge Challenger, Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan, Journey, and Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, and the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. Each unit is supplied as a single‑piece housing with precision‑machined threads that match the OEM specifications, eliminating the need for additional adapters or modifications. The part number aligns with OEM equivalents such as 5184294AC, 5184294AD, and 5184294AE, ensuring a seamless fit and maintaining the vehicle’s original performance characteristics.

Usage

This oil cooler housing is ideal for drivers who demand consistent engine temperatures during demanding conditions such as high‑speed highway travel, towing heavy loads, or off‑road adventures. By maintaining oil at a lower temperature, the housing helps preserve oil viscosity, reduces engine wear, and supports better fuel efficiency. Installation is straightforward for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts: remove the existing plastic housing, clean the mating surfaces, and install the Somusen aluminum unit using the factory‑specified torque settings. The housing works in conjunction with the vehicle’s existing oil cooler core, enhancing heat exchange without requiring any changes to the cooling system plumbing. Whether you are restoring a classic model or upgrading a daily driver, the Somusen housing provides a reliable solution that fits within the vehicle’s original design parameters, ensuring no interference with surrounding components such as the exhaust manifold, transmission tunnel, or suspension brackets.

FAQ

Is this housing compatible with my 2015 Dodge Charger?

Yes. The Somusen oil cooler housing is designed to fit the 2015 Dodge Charger equipped with the 3.6 L V6 engine, matching the OEM part numbers for that model year.

Do I need any special tools to install the housing?

Installation requires standard hand tools such as a socket set and torque wrench. No specialized equipment is needed beyond what is typically used for routine oil filter housing replacement.

Will the aluminum housing affect my vehicle’s warranty?

Because the part meets or exceeds OEM specifications, it does not void the vehicle’s existing warranty when installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

How does the aluminum housing improve oil cooling?

The aluminum material conducts heat more efficiently than plastic, allowing the oil to transfer heat to the cooler core faster, which results in lower operating oil temperatures during high‑load conditions.

What is the return policy if the part does not fit?

Somusen offers a 30‑day return window for unopened items. If the housing is found to be incompatible, you can return it for a full refund or exchange, provided the original packaging is intact.
