Consumer Description

Warped and leaking oil filter housing. The housing is made of plastic and unsuitable for this use. Newer models they have corrected this and the housings are made of aluminum. Mine is plastic and very unsafe. Having leaking oil is an enviromental and safety hazard. Jeep refuses to repair this issue even though it is a well know problem for all Penstar engies with the plastic housing. The leaking housing was brought to my attention during a normal oil change.
