Default oversized oil filter for 3.9l v6/oil question

what is the part number for an oversized oil filter for the 3.9l v6?

or what fits it?

i can cross-reference part numbers to other manufacturers

my van specifies mopar 090 as the oem

also, what oil viscosity will be the best for my van? i am trying to maximize fuel economy, i daily drive the vehicle 35 miles, one way, per day to work then back home. we live in a climate that sees between 25*F -105*F and those are the extremes (I know, I know -- some of you are thinking LUCKY SOB!)

Thanks Guys and Gals!

Purolator 30001 will fit.

Stev posted this chart on another forum. All these will fit too:

5w- 30 would be my choice for that climate. but Rotella t6 5w 40 will be nearly as thin on startup, and a little thicker at full temp, and is one of the most cost efficient synthetic oils available, at wally world

My LA 318 could use any of the above filters. No space limits, and the rubber O ring size is the same or so close it does not matter.

i cheaped out this time, but still pretty happy, i guess i wasn't running mobil 1, but another oil made by mobil called super, and it is a full synthetic..... so don't know how it stacks up, but i do my oil changes every 5k or there abouts anyways


next oil change, will be probably using the same oil, and a oversized filter.... the 5 qt jug from walmart is just about perfect.... looked to take 4.5 qts

I'm running the Purolator L30001 on the Magnum 5.2L engine. All of the four magnum engines 3.9/5.2/5.9/6.1 all can use this very large size filter.

Now, with that said, if you do go with this filter do note, the oil pressure tends to a little higher than the norm.

With a larger filter, I change the oil about 4K using Castoral 5W30 oil. When the heat gets up here, then 10W30 is the deal.
