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

There are 10's of thousands of pagers talking about oil filiters on the Net LOL
Always used Fram never a problem.

Probably not that many pages about guys that blew their engines because of an inferior product.
Who would brag about that? lol...

Last time I bought MoPar filters, they were in the 6 buck range. I shop around and buy a dozen or so at a time.

Wix makes the filters for MOPAR to their specifications. A Wix branded filter is not necessarily the same quality and / or have the same specifications as a MOPAR filter.

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.

I used these as guides before. I would usually try to get Bosch filters for my cars, except for the Subaru which only had Mobil 1 that was the same volume as OEM.

Recently I was able to get a case of OEM filters for the Subaru, Honda, and yes the minivan too.

I just buy mine at Walmart, not enough difference in price to go to Napa. Mopar filters for Cummins equipped trucks are made by Fleetguard.

You can find MoPar filters on ebay and other sites.
Delivered right to your house...
Some free ship, too. And, no sales tax.

I need to find the cross reference from the long PN to the sales PN, the MOxxx number, because I still need to be able to take the long PN and convert it so I can look for them.

The "S" is a reference to the silicone ADV, I have been using them on the 2.4

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.

Who makes Motorcraft?

They can't void your warranty for using aftermarket parts.
Law requires that if they require their own brand, they have to provide it for free.

At one time I had read something about the Motorcraft FL1A being a Purolator Pure One. But that was several years ago.

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.

 

[DC-93]

Odd, since the OEM MoPar filters use a silicon anti drain back valve, and gasket... !!!

I use MoPar filters for peace of mind, for cars in warranty or not. As stated above, they are made by Wix or Purolator, but to higher specs.

There is no interaction between the oil and the O2 sensors in a healthy engine.

Retail brands often change manufacturers, so it's best to use the most recent comparison possible. The Mopar filter review was posted last year, so it's probably up to date. Here's one from earlier this month:

According to it, Napa Gold is the equivalent of Wix, and Bosch is similar to Purolater.

One from earlier this year shows that the Supertech (WalMart) brand appears to be made by Wix:

I've been using the cheaper Napa ProSelect filters for some time, which also seems to be made by Wix. It looks like the Supertech filter is of similar quality.

Good reasons why I choose to use Mopar filters.
Pay a little more, but you are getting a quality product, every time, year in, year out.
They have to be good: that's the filters they use for all the engine durability testing in the field or on the dyno.
