Product Description
CUMMINS 3909355 OEM ENGINE OIL FILTER HEAD ADAPTER – RAM 5.9L/6.7L (2003–2011)
The genuine CUMMINS 3909355 OEM engine oil filter head adapter is the factory-correct adapter that mounts between the engine block and the oil filter assembly on 2003–2011 Cummins ISB engines. This precision-machined OEM adapter aligns and seals the oil filter head to the block, ensuring proper lubrication routing, filtration pressure, and long-term engine protection.
If your original adapter is cracked, corroded, leaking, or stripped at the sealing surfaces, this genuine Cummins replacement restores the correct oil flow and prevents lubrication loss that can lead to premature engine wear. The 3909355 adapter is engineered specifically for the 5.9L and early 6.7L engines and is built to withstand extreme temperature cycles, chassis vibration, and constant oil pressure.
