For your 2010 Dodge Journey, I recommend the Derale Stacked-Plate Engine Oil Cooler Kit w/ Non-Thermostatic Sandwich Adapter, # D15604. This kit comes with multiple engine filter thread sizes, one of which should fit your Journey. The kit includes the cooler, hose, sandwich adapter, and all the hardware needed for installation. I have included a link to our FAQ article on Engine Oil Coolers for reference.
