redtomatoman Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just FYI for the future. . . I happened upon this on Allpar today. Posted on February 26th, 2013 • by David Zatz Chrysler has quietly changed the oil filters and cap O-rings used on the Pentastar V6 engines from 2011-13’s part number 68109834AA to 68191349AA on 2014 models. The change, which Andy told us affected all Pentastar V6 engines, may have coincided with changes to the oil cooler; however, it might be more likely that it was done to reduce confusion and inventories, since the VM V6 diesel engine used by Chrysler also saw a redesign of the filter and cap O-rings, to the same part number as the gasoline V6. This means that dealers can stock a single filter-and-gasket kit for all Grand Cherokee V6 engines, diesel and gasoline alike — unless, of course, they are from the 2011 to 2013 model years. The Hemi filters are unchanged. Using the wrong part will cause an oil leak. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
