2014 jeep cherokee oil filter housing replacement cost

Just wondering what everyone has paid to have their oil filter housing replaced on the 3.6 Pentastar say in the past 6 months. He is away in Virginia and the shop wants $950 with a military discount. It's actually a 2015 200s but the same motor and parts.

I’ve swapped the oil cooler housing and oil pump in the last month. I had to wait months for the national back order on the oil coolers to even get one. I think I paid around 250 for the part. The job isn’t all that difficult if you are an ok wrench. Maybe check a video out on the process.

He's 2000 miles away from me. This is more of a survey of prices paid to have the job done.

$1000 +/- is the going rate in Tulsa, OK

I'd also request they use the new Dorman aluminum housing when they're replacing.

I've heard 1400.00 quoted in my area but that was a dealership. I would think if it's under 1K and someone reputable that is about right.

$950, sounds in the ballpark.

$1,100 in Virginia last month. Crazy amount, but sounds like the ballpark price for something that Jeep should have fixed before selling these things with a known problem year after year.

Just shy of $800, Ole' Girl was leaking from everywhere...... Luckily dealership I bought it from included a free lifetime powertrain warranty and they are covering the timing cover and gasket. Warranty has been a blessing, especially after they covered the "pentastar tick" repair as well. I was going to tackle the PCV and Cam position sensor myself, but second guessed it when I found out where that PCV was. EDIT, in the hopes that I'll only have to do this once, I did insist that they replace with Dorman product made from metal, not plastic.

Thanks you for the replies. He was happy to hear that the price was fair. It's hard to know if you are being taken or treated fairly when you are in an unfamiliar place. By the rate of failure on these coolers I wouldn't be surprised to see a class action lawsuit one day.

It's a good time to do plugs and coils if the time is good.

The dealership used a non-OEM part?

Warranty is underwritten by a 3rd party (Jeep purchased pre-owned from a Honda dealership, warranty company is Total Warranty Services, Lifetime Warranty), only says I have to take it to "ASE certified" repair shop. I have been taking it to a Christian Brothers very close to my house. Not sure why I would put an OEM part back on when OEM part is what failed. no price difference between the two. Christian Brothers warranty on part/repairs is 3yr/36k miles, whichever comes last. Jeep has 106k (no warranty from mopar) on it and after talking to Jeep Cares on this specific issue with the cooler, they say the only "campaign" that covers my vin is for Clock Spring, no coverage on oil cooler.

When you mentioned dealership you bought from I assumed you took it there for the repair.
As for OEM part, lots of parts fail. There are also millions of these oil cooler/ filter housings on the road that have not failed.
We only hear the stories about failures.

Correct, millions of oil coolers that haven't failed yet. as for stories, there are a bunch on this specific part on this forum/other mopar forums/google. How does the saying go? Fooled me once, shame on you? I'll take my chances with aftermarket in this particular situation/condition. The decision to replace with aftermarket vs. OEM should lie with the owner of the vehicle/wallet.

Yes lots of parts fail. Considering there is a national shortage on these parts that dates before covid it would suggest the rate is higher than normal.

I didn’t have a choice as the dealer did mine under the Mopar Lifetime warranty.

Right, and in that situation it makes sense, If Mopar wants to continue to pay to replace their own crappy parts, no one will argue with them.
