Can't go wrong with Mobil 1. I remember them advertising synthetic oil way before anybody else ever did - showing my age. I'm going with the Shell product because I'm sure it's okay and it's more practical for me if I want to keep the same brand in my truck all the time. I'm going to pick up the MOPAR filter too and try it out.

I've never had a problem, in 29 years, that I could trace back to an oil filter. I've used my share of Frams but always grab the supposed upgraded ones - extra guard or whatever they are called. The shop that changes my oil when I don't uses Purolators. I know some people only change the filter every other oil change but I've always changed every time. No need to risk anything over a <$5 part.

I use penzoil full synthetic and the tg fram filter because the wal-mart in my town doesnt have much to choose from, just a crappy reg store nothing super about it. They only have the mopar filter for a charger for some reason.

Im runnin the purp with the mopar filter right now, but next time im going back to the quaker state hp synth. I didnt see any difference between the two (mpg or butt dyno), so im not gonna keep paying 100$ a case for the purp. I think that stuff is for super tuned motors anyway.

Just put in the Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic and mopar filter. Just posting to admit to being a repeated dumbass when it comes to changing my truck's oil. I'm used to 5 quarts on most everything I own or have owned and I always know the hemi takes more. So, I proudly purchase 6 qts. of oil and have done this, I think, every freakin time I've changed my own oil. Wrongo - it's 7 quarts with a new filter. Back to Wally World I go.
