Oil filter/cooler housing failure

[Hootbro]

What part number is correct from Dorman as they all claim “does not fit your vehicle” no matter what auto part store…

You want the 926-959 complete setup with the oil cooler assembly

The other part number 926-876 is the housing without the oil cooler. The reason it is not cataloged for the current Gladiator and Wrangler JL with the Gen 3 PUG 3.6L engines is that the oil cooler that sits on top of the housing is different. When buying the Dorman 926-876 housing, it is expected you will be transferring the oil cooler that is based on the Gen 2 Pentastar over. To make the 926-876 fit on a Gen 3 PUG 3.6L, you would have to find the cooler from a GEN 2 Pentastar engine oil filter housing assembly.

So, has anyone bought any of the Amazon offerings that are $100 or less?
How do they compare to the $300 Dorman branded unit from the Auto Parts Stores?
I received an email, Advance Auto is running a 20% off promo on their website. You can get the Dorman 926-959 delivered for $270 plus tax.

Here is my two cents. While Dorman has a spotty reputation of being cheap on some things in the automotive replacement parts world, they advertise their units as being "Made in USA". Where as the Amazon units with most being sold by third party sellers seems to be all Chinese made and hence 1/3rd the cost or cheaper.

The Amazon unit reviews if you can trust them seem to be overwhelming positive but the few negative ones seem to show bad sensors and bad seals so that maybe something to factor in.

At end of the day, you have to figure out if you want to gamble for the cheap ones on Amazon and no support outside the Amazon return period or go with a Dorman one and at least have somebody you can contact for a possible warranty help if needed.
