Purolater PureOne....use it on all my vehicles and I've always liked the "gritty" exterior to help with grip when changing

We have a thread on Oil Filters where everyone names what they use:
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...il-filter.html

Mopar 090, Purolator PureOne 14670, or Napa Gold 1085 is what I use. Usually in that order of preference.

+1 for Purolator - I use the standard Purolator filter on most all of my vehicles. Never lost a motor due to an oil issue.

I don't believe in the whole "filtering your oil" conspiracy. Just another way for the government to steal our money. Plopped a rubber plug in place of the filter and it's good to go.
