Not surprisingly, the people at Walmart were of no help on this one, but my online search for oil filter info has been unsuccessful as well. Any ideas?
Thx,

Most times now the dealer will change the oil just as cheaply as the jiffy lubes of the world. They want your business and know jiffy lubes prices so the good ones have already adjusted. The only difference now is usually convenience. The dealer has a hard time doing 30 minute oil changes on a wait basis like jiffly lube ca.

If you go to Advanced Auto Parts' website, they have a Purolator oil filter that fits the Dodge Caliber with any size engine.

You can cross reference it to a Wix Filter, but the filter that comes up is a set in stone part number for the Caliber. Its actually a filter for all of the new GM vehicles.

Ok, the oil filter listed on Parts America's website isn't the correct filter as far as I can see. Its skinnier and longer than the Mopar filter. However, there is now a Wix Filter for the Caliber (also fits the Compass and Patriot).
The Wix Part# is: 57073

Good Luck finding one though. I went to 3 places in town that carried Wix Filters and they all said they're backed ordered like mad. I guess thats a brand new filter specially made for the New World Engines in the Caliber, Compass, Patriot, '07 Sebring, and '07 Avenger.

Call around and ask. Many dealers are getting wise and starting to compete with the quick oil change places. Mine has a special "lane" to drive into and the longest I've waited is 27 minutes.........just don't go in on Mondays or Fridays..........

I just bought a Mopar filter. Only I change my oil. I'm not going to trust some dufuss touching my car. I know if I do it, its done right and the nuts and oil filter isn't install so freaking tight you can't get it off without breaking something. Thats happened to our family many times so we just change our own oil. I just gotta change the filter to the new one when I get a chance. The oil is already changed on mine yesterday.
