STANDARD OFH107 Oil Filter Housing Kits
Highlights
- Features design improvements over the original to prevent oil leaks
- Comes assembled from the factory with both sensors and heat exchanger already installed, and includes new gaskets
- Manufactured utilizing high-strength synthetic materials that match the cooling characteristics of the OE design.
Impact on Engine Systems
- A failed oil filter housing assembly can leak oil, causing severe unrepairable damage, resulting in complete engine replacement.
- OE units can also fail internally, which can cause the engine oil and coolant inside of them to mix, resulting in a potential engine failure.
- Over-torquing during installation can damage the housing, resulting in an oil leak
Overview
Chrysler Oil Filter Housings Often referred to as Chrysler, or Stellantis, oil filter housings, these modular housings used on the Pentastar 3.2L and 3.6L have looked similar since 2011. Although they do look alike, there are real differences based on model year. Earlier housings used a different filter with a higher flow rate, and four different oil pressure sensors have been used since 2011. Because these housings are responsible for cooling and filtering the oil, they must match the original design for optimal performance.

Sales Opportunities
It is common for the OE filter housings on Pentastar engines to leak around the plugs. Contrary to popular belief, these high-temp synthetic housings do not warp. Instead, the plugs used on the housings start to leak. During the manufacturing process, multiple plugs are inserted into the housing where the oil passages were formed. After years of service and thousands of heat cycles, these plugs can fail, allowing oil to seep from the housing. Standard® Oil Filter Housings are built differently. Instead, we install seals onto the plugs before ultrasonically welding them into the housing, eliminating the weak point in the original design.
Problem:
The OE housing plugs do not feature any extra sealing components, often
resulting in oil leaks.
Standard® Solution:
Standard® installs an O-ring on each plug before ultrasonically welding them
into the housing. This creates a positive, long-lasting seal.
It is also common for the Pentastar housings to leak around the oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure around the sensor is high enough that it can eventually seep between the housing and the brass inserts. To prevent future leaks, the Standard® design utilizes high-temp, distortionresistant seals installed onto knurled brass inserts which are heat-staked into the housing. This is just another example of how Standard® engineers have improved the OE design.
Problem:
Oil leaks around the sensors and can lead to a complete replacement.
Standard® Solution: Standard® Housings feature dual hightemp, distortion- resistant seals on the oil pressure sensor insert, as well as increased knurling on both of the brass inserts in order to prevent oil leaks New oil pressure and oil temperature sensors are installed at the factory and correctly torqued in a controlled environment, eliminating the chance of damaging the threads or housing
What’s New
Oil Filter Housing Assemblies
To help keep engines running strong, it is critical that the oil filter
housing matches the heat-dissipating characteristics of the original. When the
OE uses synthetic materials, Standard® does, and when the OE uses metal,
Standard® does. We have recently introduced additional Oil Filter Housings for
import and domestic vehicles and are committed to expanding this product line.

Factory-Assembled, Complete, Drop-in Solution
The Standard® OFH100 comes completely assembled, so all you have to do is drop
it in place. All Standard® Oil Filter Housing Kits include new oil temperature
and oil pressure sensors. The oil filter and cap are exact OE-match and come
already installed. The Standard® Kit includes all new gaskets and hardware for
a clean install – you won’t have to reuse any of the old, worn pieces.

Vehicle-Specific Filters
Standard® Housings are also vehicle specific and designed to use the correct
oil filter cataloged for the vehicle. Some competitor oil filter housings are
universal, utilizing a single filter part number across multiple model years.
Not only can this cause confusion, but the oil filter may not have the flow
rate specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Engine Oil Coolers
In addition to our Oil Filter Housings, we also offer a line of Engine Oil
Coolers. Standard® Engine Oil Coolers undergo extensive in-lab and on-vehicle
testing to ensure that they match OE cooling characteristics. For the most
current applications, be sure to check out our catalog at
StandardBrand.com.
Testing and Validation
Standard® Oil Filter Housings and their installed components undergo extensive
testing so that you can install them with confidence. Housings are pressure-
tested for leaks, and oil pressure sensors and oil temperature sensors are
tested for accuracy. New applications are also tested for fit, performance and
durability on real vehicles at our testing center in Irving, Texas.
Standard® Pro Training Tech Tip
As experienced ASE-certified automotive technicians themselves, Standard® Pro Trainers are experts in Oil Filter Housing Kits. Here’s what they say to look out for during an Oil Filter Housing replacement.
- It is important to follow the correct torque specs when installing a new housing — Slowly tighten each bolt, alternating corners to make sure all of the seals seat correctly
- Before removing the intake manifold to access the oil filter housing, ensure that any dirt and debris are removed from the area, and cover the intake ports with tape to prevent dirt, coolant, or oil from getting into the intake ports — Remove the tape on reassembly
- It is common for the seals to be damaged during installation, especially the front seal directly under the filter — It is recommended to use automotive lubricant/grease on this seal and take extra care when installing the housing
