The Derale Stacked-Plate Engine Oil Cooler Kit w/ Sandwich Adapter (Multiple Threads) - Class III, item # D15605, will work on the 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT. The engine filter thread size is one of two sizes on the caliber,3/4-16 or 20 mm x 1.5mm, so you will need to determine which (included) sleeve nut will be used.
If you would like to use a larger cooler, relocate your oil filter to a more accessible location and install a stacked plate oil cooler you can use the Derale Oil Relocation Kit for Multiple Engine Thread Sizes, item # D15748, and a stacked plate cooler of a suitable size to install in front of the radiator on your vehicle. Two sizes we have are the Derale 10-Row, High-Performance, Stacked-Plate Cooler with -8 AN Fittings - Class III, item # D51008, which is the same size as the cooler you referenced, and the Derale 16-Row, High-Performance, Stacked-Plate Cooler with -8 AN Fittings - Class IV, item # D51608. Going with the larger cooler will cool the oil better but in the winter you will want to let the engine warm a bit before taking off.
With the relocation kit and cooler you will also need an appropriate length of Derale High-Temperature Replacement Hose for Engine Applications, # D15799 25 feet Long, # D15701 5 feet long, # D15700 10 feet long. You will also need 2 of the Derale -8 AN Female Swivel x 1/2 inch Barb Hose Fitting, item # D98202, to attach the hoses to the cooler you select.
