Consumer Description

The oil filter and oil cooler assembly is plastic with plastic gaskets. It will often crack, or the gaskets will shrink/crack over time, particularly in cold weather conditions. This causes oil to leak down onto other components, specifically the transmission, transfer case, etc. in the case of an accident this oil leak and oil soaked components can represent a fire hazard. Also can become an engine oil overheating issue as the oil cooling is not working properly. Repair requires complete disassembly of the air intake system and manufacturer only supplies the same faulty plastic parts. Repair is extremely costly and it is a known defect that has caused many parts shortages.
