What Does the Oil Filter Housing Assembly Do?
The oil filter housing assembly is a critical component in your 3.6L V6 engine that serves multiple functions:
- Mounts the engine oil filter: Provides a secure, sealed mounting point for the oil filter cartridge
- Houses the oil cooler: The integrated cooler uses engine coolant to regulate oil temperature, preventing overheating and maintaining optimal viscosity
- Contains a bypass valve: Allows oil to bypass the filter if it becomes clogged, ensuring continuous lubrication even in emergency conditions
- Monitors temperatures: Pre-installed sensors track both engine oil temperature and coolant temperature, feeding data to the engine control module (ECM) for accurate fuel and timing adjustments
This assembly sits at the heart of your engine's thermal management system. When it fails, oil leaks and overheating can cause serious engine damage in a short period of time.
What Are the Symptoms of a Failing Oil Cooler Housing?
A deteriorating oil filter housing or cooler typically presents these warning signs:
- Oil leaks around the filter area: You may see fresh oil pooling under the vehicle or dripping from the housing itself, often caused by hardened or cracked O-rings
- Low oil level warnings: Persistent leaks lead to low oil levels, triggering dashboard warnings and risking engine damage
- Engine overheating: A failing internal oil cooler can't regulate oil temperature, leading to higher than normal engine temperatures
- Coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant: A cracked housing or failed internal seal may allow the two fluids to mix, producing milky oil or oily coolant
- Check engine light with temperature sensor codes: Faulty pre-installed sensors may trigger diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to oil or coolant temperature
- Oil pressure fluctuations: A stuck or broken bypass valve can cause erratic oil pressure readings
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to catastrophic engine failure, making timely replacement essential.
Which Vehicles Does APDTY 133933 Fit?
APDTY part number 133933 is engineered for 3.6L V6 engines in select 2011-2013 Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models. The product data specifies compatibility with these model years and brands, but does not list every specific vehicle model.
To confirm exact fitment for your vehicle:
- Visit the product page at APDTY.com
- Use the live compatibility chart to match your year, make, model, and engine
- Verify that your VIN corresponds to a 3.6L V6 engine code
Do not assume fitment based solely on year and brand. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 was used in multiple platforms during this period, but not all received the same housing design. Always cross-reference the OEM part number 5184294AE with your vehicle's service manual or parts diagram before ordering.
What's Included in APDTY 133933?
This is a complete assembly, meaning you receive everything required to replace your worn or leaking factory unit:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Oil Cooler Housing | Aluminum or composite housing body designed to OEM specifications |
| Integrated Oil Cooler | Factory-style cooler core for efficient oil temperature regulation |
| Bypass Valve & Spring | Pre-installed to ensure oil flow if the filter clogs |
| Engine Oil Temperature Sensor | Pre-installed sensor feeds oil temp data to the ECM |
| Coolant Temperature Sensor | Pre-installed sensor monitors coolant temp for accurate engine management |
| O-Ring Seals (All) | All necessary O-rings pre-installed to ensure leak-free operation |
The pre-installed sensors and seals save significant labor time and eliminate the risk of missing gaskets or damaging new sensors during assembly. This plug-and-play design is ideal for both DIY mechanics and professional shops.
How Do You Install the Oil Filter Housing Assembly?
Replacing the oil cooler housing on a 3.6L V6 is a moderately complex job requiring basic hand tools and careful attention to torque specifications. Always consult your vehicle's factory service manual for exact procedures and torque values.
General installation overview:
- Drain engine oil and coolant: Place drain pans under the vehicle and remove the oil filter and drain plugs
- Disconnect electrical connectors: Unplug the wiring harnesses from the oil and coolant temperature sensors on the old housing
- Remove coolant hoses: Loosen hose clamps and disconnect coolant lines from the housing
- Unbolt the old housing: Remove mounting bolts securing the housing to the engine block (typically 3-5 bolts)
- Clean mating surfaces: Scrape away old gasket material and clean the engine block mounting surface thoroughly
- Install APDTY 133933: Position the new assembly, ensuring O-rings are seated properly, and torque bolts to factory specifications in a crisscross pattern
- Reconnect coolant lines and sensors: Attach hoses and plug in sensor connectors
- Refill fluids: Add the correct oil and coolant types and quantities per your owner's manual
- Check for leaks: Start the engine, let it reach operating temperature, and inspect all connections for leaks
- Clear any stored codes: Use an OBD-II scanner to clear any temperature-related trouble codes
Safety note: Work only on a cool engine. Hot oil and coolant can cause severe burns. Wear gloves and safety glasses, and dispose of used fluids properly according to local regulations.
