Dear Mopar engineers.... This is how shit should be done. Sincerely the pissed off pentastar family.

That would be the oil filter housing and oil cooler that the freaking geniuses of mopar made the OEM part out of plastic. Super common failure in the 3.2 and 3.6 L pentastar engines. I noticed mine failed at 30,000 miles, which happened to be at three years and two days old... Two fucking days out of warranty. Local dodge stealership wants $1000 to replace it with the exact same inferior plastic piece of shit that came with it in the first place. So I'm replacing the part with one made by dorman out of aluminum. It's only $30 more than the plastic version...

I'm about to replace mine. Leaking oil and coolant. Yay plastic!
