I can buy Wix for less than $5. The Mopar equivalent is usually $8 to $15.

You can find MoPar filters on ebay and other sites.At the risk of annoying people, first, there is no Chrysler dealer closer than a minimum of a 1 hour drive to me. Walmart usually carries them, but their lovely electronic catalog does not go back far enough on the MOPAR filters, it only shows Fram for my application. I have the long MOPAR PN, but not the short MOxxx number. When in doubt, I have and will continue if needed used (since I had the clearance) a Motorcraft FL1A on my engine. If you go looking at a number of the filter tests that have been run, all that I have seen use that size as it is a very common one and fits many of the older Chrysler vehicles.
They can't void your warranty for using aftermarket parts.I've used Purolator filters on both of the older Jeeps and on our '98 Subaru over the 18 years we had it. On the '17 Wrangler, I use Mopar filters in the cartridge filter because of the warrantee.
At one time I had read something about the Motorcraft FL1A being a Purolator Pure One. But that was several years ago.Who makes Motorcraft?
At one time a friend started using the Purolator Pure One on his Neon. Then he started having problems with the catalytic filter and the O2 sensors. So he switched to a different oil filter without the silicon gasket. Something about the silicon reacting with the oil and causing possible problems with the O2 sensors.https://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-FL-910S-Oil-Filter/dp/B004A2BCWY/ref=sr_1_3?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1543163309&vehicle=1998-43-268-20--39--5-4707-205-8-1-1177-214-2-0&sr=1-3&ymm=1998lymouth:voyager&keywords=oil+filter
The "S" is a reference to the silicone ADV, I have been using them on the 2.4
There is no interaction between the oil and the O2 sensors in a healthy engine.At one time a friend started using the Purolator Pure One on his Neon.
