68105583AF OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER FOR 14-17 JEEP DODGE CHRYSLER RAM 3.6L V6

iFJF part No.: FJ-HZ-AM27-68105583AF-02. Product Overview The iFJF 68105583AF Oil Filter Housing Adapter is a direct replacement for the notoriously failure-prone OEM plastic oil filter housing found on 3.6L Pentastar V6 engines. The factory unit is known to develop cracks, warping, and gasket leaks often leading to catastrophic oil loss. This replacement assembly is built with enhanced materials and precision engineering to solve the root causes of failure, giving you a permanent fix instead of a temporary patch. Why Replace Your Oil Filter Housing? The OEM plastic oil filter housing on Pentastar 3.6L engines is a well-documented problem. Heat cycling causes the plastic to become brittle over time, leading to: Oil Leaks: Cracks form at the base and filter cap threads, dripping oil onto the exhaust manifold Filter Cap Seizing: Over-torqued plastic caps weld themselves to the housing Sensor Port Failure: Oil pressure and temperature sensor ports crack under vibration Coolant-Oil Mixing: Internal passages corrode, allowing cross-contamination Key Features OEM-Spec Fitment: Precision-machined to match OE dimensions bolt pattern, port locations, and gasket surfaces all verified against factory blueprints Complete Assembly: Includes housing body, filter cap, gaskets, and oil pressure sensor pre-installed Pressure-Tested: Every unit is leak-tested at 3x normal operating pressure before packaging Heat-Cycle Endurance: Validated through 1,000+ thermal cycles from -40 F to 260 F Compatibility Table Make Model Engine Year Jeep Wrangler (JK/JL) 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 Jeep Cherokee (KL) 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 RAM 1500/2500/3500 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 Dodge Journey 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 Dodge Charger 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 Dodge Avenger 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 Chrysler 200 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 Chrysler 300 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 Chrysler Town & Country 3.6L V6 Pentastar 2014 2017 Cross-Reference Part Numbers Brand Part Numbers Mopar / OEM 68105583AF, 68105583AA, 68105583AB, 68105583AC, 68105583AD, 68105583AE Aftermarket 5184562AC Technical Specifications Parameter Value Filter Thread M22 x 1.5 Compatible Filter MO-349 / equivalent Gasket Material Viton fluoroelastomer Operating Pressure Up to 80 PSI Torque Spec (Mounting Bolts) 21 Nm (15.5 ft-lbs) Package Includes Housing, cap, gaskets, oil pressure sensor Installation Tips Drain engine oil and coolant before removal Remove upper and lower intake manifold for access Clean mounting surface thoroughly any old gasket residue will cause leaks Lubricate new gaskets with fresh engine oil before installation Torque mounting bolts to 21 Nm (15.5 ft-lbs) in a crisscross pattern Replace oil and filter, refill coolant, bleed cooling system Check for leaks after first heat cycle Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do I know if my oil filter housing is failing? A: Common signs include visible oil leaks near the filter housing, oil dripping onto the exhaust manifold (burning smell), low oil pressure warning light, and oil in the coolant reservoir. If you see any of these, replace the housing immediately. Q: Does this fit the 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL? A: This housing is confirmed for 2014 2017 model years only.
