Somusen Aluminum Oil Filter Housing 2011-2018 Dodge/Chrysler Cap

Description

Product Overview

The Somusen Aluminum Oil Filter Housing is engineered to replace the original plastic housing that often fails under the stress of high‑temperature engine environments. Constructed from a high‑grade aluminum alloy, the housing offers superior strength, heat resistance, and durability compared to standard polymer components. The design incorporates an eight‑layer, 0.5 mm thick aluminum wall that dissipates heat efficiently, reducing the risk of oil degradation and extending the service life of both the filter and the engine.

Each unit is precision‑machined to exact OEM specifications, ensuring a seamless fit on vehicles ranging from 2011‑2018 Dodge Challenger, Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan, Journey, Grand Cherokee, to Chrysler 200, 300, and Town & Country. The housing features a universal fitment interface that aligns perfectly with the factory mounting points, eliminating the need for additional adapters or modifications. The integrated aluminum cap is available in both silver and red finishes, providing a visual cue for easy identification during maintenance.

Beyond the material advantages, the housing is designed with a smooth interior surface that minimizes turbulence as oil passes through the filter media. This promotes consistent flow rates, reduces pressure drops, and helps maintain optimal oil pressure across the engine’s lubrication system. The result is a cooler, cleaner oil circuit that supports higher performance under demanding driving conditions, such as towing, off‑road excursions, or spirited highway driving.

Somusen’s commitment to quality is reflected in the rigorous testing each housing undergoes. From corrosion resistance assessments in salt‑spray chambers to thermal cycling tests that simulate extreme temperature fluctuations, the product meets or exceeds the standards set by the original equipment manufacturers. The housing is classified as a performance part, offering enthusiasts a reliable upgrade without compromising the vehicle’s warranty when installed correctly.

Usage

This aluminum oil filter housing is ideal for owners who demand reliability and longevity from their vehicle’s engine cooling system. Whether you are a daily commuter, a weekend off‑road adventurer, or a professional driver who frequently tows heavy loads, the upgraded housing provides a robust solution that mitigates the common failure points of plastic housings. The aluminum construction resists cracking caused by thermal expansion, vibration, and impact, which are typical in high‑stress environments.

Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. The housing bolts directly onto the engine block using the factory‑provided fasteners, and the included gasket ensures a leak‑free seal. After removal of the old plastic housing, clean the mounting surface, apply a thin layer of high‑temperature sealant if desired, and secure the new aluminum housing. The process typically takes less than an hour, making it a cost‑effective upgrade that can be performed in a home garage or a professional service center.

In addition to the primary function of housing the oil filter, the aluminum cap serves as a secondary heat sink, drawing heat away from the oil as it circulates. This is particularly beneficial during prolonged high‑rpm operation, where oil temperatures can rise rapidly. By maintaining cooler oil temperatures, the housing helps preserve oil viscosity, reduces engine wear, and supports better fuel efficiency.

FAQ

What vehicles are compatible with this oil filter housing?

The housing fits a wide range of 2011‑2018 Dodge and Chrysler vehicles, including Challenger, Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan, Journey, Grand Cherokee, Chrysler 200, 300, and Town & Country. It is a universal fit for these models, matching the OEM mounting points exactly.

Can I install the aluminum housing myself?

Yes. The installation process is designed for DIY enthusiasts with basic mechanical knowledge. You will need standard hand tools, the original mounting bolts, and a new gasket (included). Detailed instructions are provided in the packaging, and our support team is available to answer any questions.

How does the aluminum cap improve engine performance?

The aluminum cap acts as an additional heat sink, drawing heat away from the oil as it circulates through the filter. This helps maintain optimal oil viscosity, reduces engine wear, and supports better fuel efficiency, especially under high‑load or high‑temperature conditions.

Is the product covered by a warranty?

Somusen offers a one‑year warranty that covers any manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues within the warranty period, contact our customer service team for a replacement or repair solution.

What makes this housing better than the original plastic version?

The original plastic housing is prone to cracking, leaking, and deformation under heat and vibration. Our aluminum housing provides greater durability, heat resistance, and a more secure seal, which translates to longer service intervals and reduced risk of engine damage.
