nice, hope it works out for u. kicking myself in the butt for not replacing my 12 one with a newer style when i did my sprintex
Dorman 3.6 Pentastar Upgraded Aluminum Engine Oil Filter Housing- 926-876
I've had a slight leak in my oil cooler housing but was holding off for the new Dorman metal housing. Got an email from Rock Auto last week that the part was in stock so I ordered one along with a new Mopar assembly so all the parts would be new.
I used the Mopar oil cap/filter, cooler (and screws) and sensors. The Dorman unit came with new gaskets and mounting screws.
I'll do my best to follow up as I put some miles on the unit. I suspect the real test will be if we have an unusually cold winter, which killed the coolers this year on our '14 and '18.

For the JK it's well known that you tighten until it cracks then back off a 1/4 turn
Factory spec is 18 ft pounds, the Dorman unit doesn't call out a different spec, but like you I hand tighten until snug.
Out of our 4 JKs I've replaced 3 oil coilers, they haven't been cracked, they've leaked from the O rings like stated in Post #9. All started leaking in periods of extreme temperature changes.

18 foot pounds (24Nm) is just about hand tight. It is very easy to exceed that with pretty much any tool with a lever arm.

I found this on EBAY complete assembly including upper and lower intake gaskets and new hardware to mount the base to the engine. Comes assembled & ready to install, I've had no issues with fitting it to my 2012 JKU, only have about 1000 miles so far but so far so good!
