The E8 and the torque wrench had me reaching into my brother’s toolbox. Make sure you have those.

And TBH I had to borrow his fluid extractor.

How much did that job cost at your quality of work

[@luckysdiygarage]

This job costs about $480 parts and labor boss

[@CarlitoRogelio]

Aye brotha, how do you get that outlet hose back on without it being such a damn drag? I replaced the hose with the housing but this hose is a pain

[@luckysdiygarage]

Haha yeah it was a pain in the ass but what I did was put the clamp on the end and then slide the hose on then release the clamp

[@Lightzzz]

ok, so before i replace this oil cooler on my avenger it was not misfiring but once i fixed it and it fixed my coolant problem now it’s misfiring

[@Crazyfootballguy]

which engine is that, doesnt look like mine.

[@luckysdiygarage]

This is the 3.6 V6 boss

Are you supposed to drain the car of coolant and oil ?

[@luckysdiygarage]

Good morning Brian it's honestly up to you if you want to drain the coolant halfway.. when I have to replace an oil filter housing I usually just remove the coolant hose that's connected to the oil filter housing and just use a manual fluid extractor to suck the coolant in the valley then I remove the oil housing ..but all in all you don't have to drain the coolant or the oil..🍀 hope this helps

[@danny9738]

Do you happen to know the size of the socket you used on the intake bolts ?

[@luckysdiygarage]

The intake bolts were 8 mm

[@josenarvaez5338]

I’m m having the same problem and there’s oil on the coolant. I already replaced the oil cooler housing. And is doing the same 😞

[@kennysmith823]

Man I got the same problem lol..I still got the factory tho..u change with aluminum one

[@josenarvaez5338]

[@lavauingilkey9079]
