I wish I had an O'Reillys near me. The closest one to me is about 20 miles. It is a really nice place, and I can buy my WIX transmission filters and Raysbestos brakes. All I have around me is a AutoZone, Advance, 2 Napas, and a KOI Auto Parts. But I havent been in a AutoZone in over 2 months and I plan to keep it that way...They can suck my ***** if they think I'm going to go cheap even in a tough economy.....

Yeah Royal Purpl makes a oil filter now. They dont acually make it, it is outsourced from Champion Labratories(just like the K&N, and Mobil 1) and is the exact same as the Mobil 1, just in a Purpl case.
I like how everyone is catching on to the new spelling of "Purple". The reason I do that is because "Dodge" is 5 letters and "Purpl" is 5 letters.

I dont know if this was said in the other posts but i use the mopar oil filter. Ive used it since i bought the truck and never had any problems with it. I dont kno how big it is compared to the K&N one but it works good for me. My old auto teacher told me about it when i was in tennesse for the trade school i went to. He and his son used the mopar oil filters on their dodge dakotas and rams.

that fl1a on the 360 is the whole reason this thread exists! =P

any engine with the 1/2 " npt and similar diameter will fit the fl1a and a whole bunch of other filters, the fl1a is just the biggest

Ok, so what is the best oil filter that money can buy? Motorcraft? Mobil 1? K&N (is currently what I have on now, but you guys have made me question them)
