Well, 95k on my 18 and I have the oil cooler/filter housing leak. So, is everyone still using the Dorman replacement? The cheaper Amazon replacements that are running like $80-100?

I Just did this yesterday along with pcv valve on my 2014 (103,000) Took me about 8 hrs. but to be honest I took a few breaks. I used the Dorman which fit perfectly the only thing is you need to use the sensors on your old unit as the Dorman doesn't come with. Thought about using the amazon cheap unit but after reading a lot of reviews decided not to. Cost me 308.00 plus shipping and tax came out to 358.50 from oreilly's. PCV valve was 75.00 from Napa. I had this leak going on for at least a year and glad I was finally able to get it done.
