About the best video on this out there that I've seen thanks buddy 👍👍 saved me 1300 bucks
Great to hear! Thank you for the terrific feedback.
@@s33therfan please help if possible
This is a life saver!! I had this repair quoted at $1,100 for the full aluminum replacement. I bought the Dorman part for $230. Huge savings!!!
Thank you for the feedback and great job tackling this yourself.
I installed the Dorman oil cooler. Very nice unit and is working great, Good video!
I just did this to my 2014 Durango. The vehicle was running hot and I saw a constant plumb of vapor coming from the area just under the cooler filter. I followed your tutorial and even used the exact Amazon part for the replacement. Other than having to fight with that second bracket on the driver's side that you were missing, this was an easy fix. Also, I had a very hard time bleeding the cooling system, as I had a ton of air and it was causing the two radiator hoses to collapse. I use the bleeder screw on the thermostat housing to help remove the air. Thanks so much for the video!
Thank you very much for the feedback.
Now I've already done this job once on another Durango and I'm watching your video for a refresher course. I must say to anyone doing this job definitely watch his video. Very detailed and informative. Great job sir and thank you for taking time to make great content for us.
Wow, thank you so much.
Good Clear Video, I just did mine for second time . I had a oil leak/ faulty coolant sensor the first time at 85k, second time no oil leak but faulty Oil pressure sensor at 140k, I went with the same unit you got and replaced Spark Plugs and Coils at the same time. I also added a Baxter oil filter adapter to use a spin on filter and eliminate dry start Rattling, unlike the stock cartridge filter that lets all the oil drain back after 30 minutes.
Nice work , and thank you for taking the time to leave such great feedback.
Change the oil cooler on my 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan a week ago with after market Amazon unit. I did not use the gaskets that came with the unit instead bought a separate Mopar gaskets. So far soo good and thank you for your video tutorial.
Thanks for sharing and the terrific feedback.
Thanks for the video, definitely made the job a lot easier! I changed mine on a 2017 Durango GT. The intake removal was a little different but other than that, it was spot on. To others that do the repair yourself, the replacement they sent me had 2 sensors on it while the one I pulled out only had the one so even though it said it would fit, I had to reorder mine that came with the plug so I could cap the 2nd sensor hole.
Thank you for sharing and the feedback , much appreciated.
holy crap! we bought a new 2017 durango 3.6l and paid $1800 for highest level warranty and i'm so glad! i'm 71 so i don't do work like this anymore , no probs yet! at all but it is a rolling box of computers etc. LOL we just turned 10,000 mi.! i also have a 20 year old silverado with 140,000 on it. nice work your doin i'm jealous
Thank you for the great feedback.
I'm having this problem now waiting on my part to get here now n thanks for the good vid it really helps me save money
Glad I could help , thank you for the great feedback.
Great Job on the video. Watched others that didn't really show and explain what your doing.
I appreciate that , thank you for the feedback.
I was quoted $1,300 CRAZY.... purchased the part.. mechanic quoted me $550 for the job.... I watched your video like 50 times.. I feel comfortable to do it myself. I don't have pentastar but I have a 2016 3.6 v6...same concept.
Absolutely , this job is not difficult , just a lot of steps. Hope all goes smoothly and thank you for the great feedback
Excellent tutorial. thanks for taking the time to video and post. Time saver for many Pentastar owners. cheers🤩
Glad it was helpful , thank you very much for the feedback.
Im going to try this on my own. I was quoted 750 just in labor and 200 for the part . Thanks for the video
Excellent. You cannot beat the aluminum oil coolers for replacements , I have had zero issues as of yet. Thank you and best of luck on your project.
I just did this job. I'm getting too old for this stuff. Hats off to the mechanics out there... this was rated an "easy" job. I managed to get the oil cooler out. However, I was not able to remove the old sensors. They were on there very tight and I broke them. They both cost about $70 each. I ended up breaking one of the new sensors too. Be careful putting these on. I wish I had a bench vice to hold the housing somehow while I tried to tighten these stupid sensors. I had to go back to the dealership to buy another one. Barely made it since they close at 3:00 on Saturday. The sensors ended up costing me more than the oil cooler housing. Total cost $400 in expensive Mopar parts. It would have been more if I didn't use the online ordering discount. The oil cooler housing was about $75 cheaper if ordered online. MSRP for the housing is $250. The only thing I feel bad NOT buying were those square white gaskets that go on that fuel rail assembly. They looked pretty used up. In all, the new oil cooler seems to have corrected the coolant leak issue and still saved $1000. Now I can remove the radiator cap and see coolant. Yippie
Thats excellent , thank you for taking the time to share , it is much appreciated.
Best video I've seen on this replacement .. thanks !
Thank you so much.
I recently did mine also one of the best upgrades i did to my motor! Saved alot also 🤠
Absolutely. I know mines been leak free ever since and now I don't have to worry about warping from a plastic housing. Thank you for the feedback.
Very nice video, think I'm ready to tackle it now. Wish me luck!!
You can do it , no problem. Thank you for the feedback.
That was a very well made and informative video. Thank you
Thank you very much.
Everything is clean and tidy.👍👍👍😊
Thank you so much as always .
Great filming!!!!
Thank you very much.
Excellent! thank you! helped a lot
Thank you for the great feedback.
Thank you for walking me through this bro. It saved me about $500. This was a blessing.
Glad I could help , thank you for the terrific feedback.
That was an EXCELLENT video !! I would have done the spark plugs while you were at it, since that’s why I’m watching this video !! Don’t have an oil leak, but i’m glad i found your video to rewatch when i need to replace my cooler. Thanks. !!
Thank you very much for the great feedback.
So here’s a question; why not just change out the O rings instead of replacing the entire oil cooler? It’d be a lot cheaper. @@s33therfan
The plastic housings usually warp and distort , it would not hold up. Either a new plastic cooler or better option a aluminum oil cooler. Thanks for the feedback
How are those o rings holding up? I am going to install one of these aluminum housings in my JGC but I see that what really fails is the o ring seals.
BTW, great tutorial!!!! Very thorough
The seals are holding up great so far , not a drop of oil anywhere. I will say , I like the aluminum housing . These engines run at much hotter temps than they used to in excess of 215 F at times. Thank you very much for the great feedback.
Great video. Just wish youd've shown where the large o ring in the kit goes. I can only assume it's on the oil filter cap, but neither Dorman instructions nor the video explains anything.
Regardless, thank you for this video
I was searching for the best how to video and found it here, Very detailed and informative. Great job Sir...
Thank you so much.
Thanks!
Thank you very much.
Great video thanks
Thank you for the terrific feedback.
I really would appreciate your input or suggestions on this i been streesed out all day over this
Fuel injector clip hack - After fighting and breaking one, I dowsed the red clip with 3-in-1 oil and used a heat gun, pry up on the red clip and 5 seconds later even the broken one was off.
Great tip , thank you.
I also used the syringe, but went with a larger volume and surgical tubing. I was able to suck up 2 cups in about a minute. $10 off Amazon
Thats great information , I would have loved to have had one of those. Thanks for the feedback.
You did a great video!! Thank you❤
Thank you for this beautiful video I'm about to do my Durango 2012 the only thing I'm confused if I had to buy this cooler thing from AutoZone how can I get one from Amazon because the one from AutoZone is 299
I would go with this all aluminum oil cooler , these are the only way to go. Thank you very much for the feedback.

Hi, i was wondering if i can please ask you a question i have a 2019 dodge Durango with only 45k miles. I am frustrated between the possibility that im not sure if its even possible that my Durango at such low miles that would need the oil cooler replaced just exactly how you show in this awesome very well explained video. Or in your Guess opinion i noticed that last time i did an oil change i accidentally left the top of my oil filter untightent enough where i can see still the little O ring inside the oil filter im hoping that could have caused all the oil i see on the way bottom of my transmission oil pan . And also see oil comming out of the very way top of where the oil filter connects to as well. Can this be a possibility that because i left the oil filter loose enough and been driving the vehicle for a few months now i just bearly noticed the numerous oil leaks spots n drops leaking several spots of oil in that whole period of maybe 2 months driving
I greatly appreciate any advice. I can send some pictures if needed you sound n seemed very knowledgeable in this
I would find a way to vacuum that oil out of the valley and rule the cap out before replacing the cooler. Having said that , I have seen these oil coolers leak at 40k , so it would not surprise me. I would take it one step at a time and keep an eye on the oil level . Appreciate the question.
Should I have to disconnect the battery?
very helpful
Thank you.
@@s33therfan I did the job. Thanks. bought you a coffee.
Good job..100%
Many many thanks
Was that blue loctite you used on the bolts? Did you use it on all the bolts?
I used medium loctite. Thanks for the question.
Nice jop..clean..
Thank you.
Hey so when I removed mine off I found a lot of rubber ish sealant around all gaskets, should I reapply it with the new gaskets or should be fine with the felpro gaskets ?
Just the fel pro gaskets will be fine. Thanks for the feedback.
Excuse me...i've tried to torque up to 106 inch pounds the housing torx screw but they didn't make it....
I don't know what happened..
Is that possible?
Thank you for advance
Not sure. I would back them all off and try to step them up from 75 inch pounds . Slowly increase the torque , until you feel it's not tightening. This will atleast determine how much torque they will accept. It could be they were overtitghtened previously and stripped , I have encountered this. I would say if you could atleast get 96 inch , it may be fine , just loctite the bolts. Only other option would be thread insert. Also get another inch pound torque wrench and make sure it's not the torque wrench out of calibration. Hope this helps.
I have a 2015 durango 3.6 with a pretty significant oil leak running down my transmission and leaking onto the ground, are there any ways that I can confirm the leak is coming from the oil cooler without pulling the intake manifold?
You can shine a flashlight down in the valley. Most likely it will be full of oil. Thanks for the question.
@@s33therfan hey, thanks for the reply. I noticed slight puddling forward of the filter housing and promptly cleaned it up, since then I’ve not seen anymore there but the leak has continued. Is there a way the oil could only be puddling beneath and behind the cooler?
Yes , it could and most likely is. Unless the valve covers are leaking , it has to be the oil cooler. Those gaskets are lucky if they make it 100k. Hope this helps.
@@s33therfan it absolutely does, I’m right at 77k miles so I can see why it’d go out
@@s33therfanwould you happen to have an email I can message? I’ve got images from behind my oil cooler that show the leak coming from the mounting bolts of the lower intake manifold. I want an experienced point of view on it.
Hello, I had my oil cooler replaced and used the new sensors, I am now getting high oil pressures and change very rapidly. Could it be a result of the after market oil pressure sensor
Is the pressure itself showing high or circuit high ? These aftermarket sensors can sometimes not all the times be finicky with Dodge/Chrysler. If it's circuit high , then I would get a mopar sensor and change it out. I have had to do the same thing before , but I have also had good success with the aftermarket sensors more times than not. Keep us updated.
@@s33therfan hey, the car runs and drives perfectly normal. I got a cel that cleared after a few trips and the code was P0523 high oil pressure/switch high input. My oil pressure also is staying high and not dropping like it normally would with the variable pump unless I’m at idle. It seems as if it’s stuck in high mode with the pressure staying between 60-85
I would start by putting an actual gauge on it , and go from there. If the reading is still high I would replace the oil cooler. You might check the filter for debris.
🙏🏾
Thank you
Why isn't there a recall
👀👍✔
Thank you very much as always for watching.
Why is too cheap? My local auto parts 300.00 mopar original part 178.00 Amazon 60.00 the price difference is huge I don’t know which one to buy
The brand I used has been installed over a year now , zero leaks or issues. Thank you for the feedback.
Bro tell me now you get any problems from this cooler?
None at all so far it has been completely leak free. Thank you for the feedback.
@@s33therfan very good now 7 month i want link for buy
amzn.to/3NB2vaR
Thanks again
Just get rid of the Durango. The 3.6L will eventually start to Misfire and if youre over 150k miles youll be stuck with a $5k repair bill to replace the drivers side head. The 3.6L motor is a massive pile of Chrysler shit. Im getting rid of my Dodge Duragno as soon as I can. MOPAR junk!
I ran into this not long after , getting the oil cooler replaced, I will leave the video. It was not fun to diagnose. But it has been running great since , I have even taken it on a couple road trips. 177k we will see . Thanks for watching.
