I'd say they are even more important in a jeep as they stop dust, dirt and hair from blocking up your A/C evaporator.

Finally got around to replacing the oil cooler/filter housing. It was kind of involved, but not to hard. I did take enough photos to create a write-up. I will add All-Data pages for torque specs and bolt patterns. I will work on it later on.

I discovered this dreaded oil cooler leak on my 2012 JK Sport last week. Ordered a new one on Amazon for $111.95. When it comes in, I'm going to give the repair a shot. I found several YouTube videos to aid me.

I didn't think to order new intake gaskets. Why did you feel the need to replace the gaskets?

I ended up only paying 185.00 from Jeep after a friends discount. I couldn't wait for one to be shipped because my leak needed to be addressed asap.
I always replace intake gaskets on anything I work on that involves disassembling the intake. I have run into bad or flat gaskets more times then not and they can be troublesome if not addressed. Besides, I don't like to do the work twice and feel it's cheap insurance.

Anytime you remove any part that has a gasket the gasket should be replaced. If you don't then 9 out of 10 times that gasket will leak

That's not entirely true. rubber O ring style gaskets don't need to be replaced unless they go brittle or get damaged. I haven't had the intake off a 3.6 so I'm not sure if they have this style but they are very common on intake manifolds.

Looks like if they used a real cooler and not a can of spam it may not leak as easily. Are the 3.8 the same?

no the 3.8 does not have the same set up.

I don't know how you got that kind of warranty. As far as i understood the warranty was 3 years/ 36,000 miles, unless that is a more recent warranty policy?
It does look like a can of spam. It is also a very stupid design/placement.:rolleyes2:
drive train warranty on 2012-2015 is 5/100,000 miles. bumper to bumper for non drivetrain stuff is 3/36,000. in 2016 they changed to 5/60,000 for drive train.

Didn't know that, however, I'm sure my mods will void anything.

do you have mods to the engine? mods would have had to had a direct impact on the oil filter housing/cooler. I have a 3.5" lift with 35's, modified exhaust etc and they never say anything.

Crunchy seat? Did you sit on a bag of Doritos?

Nope, just assuming the dealership would bring it up. Well if anything else goes wrong I will see if it's covered.
