One really cool feature about the K&N as opposed to most other filters is the 1" wrench nut placed at the top of the filter. This way you can use a regular 1" wrench to get the filter off instead of a rubber strap wrench like I've been using since it's the only thing I've been able to use to get the darn thing off!

Just so you'll know, Mopar oil filters are made by Fram, Purolator and Wix. They just paint them a different color, stamp them with the Mopar logo, and charge you double......

Mobil 5w30 full syn, Fram or Purolator filters for me. Redline C+ ATF in the tranny. How come no one ever talks about the tranny?
(You should change the trans fluid every year) I dont care what the owners manual says about that. Redline C+ ATF is the shiznit.

Haha now you got me thinking. I just got a K&N oil filter from Modern Performance so I'll give that a try. They sell them for $9.99 plus shipping but I will start checking other sites and the local stores to see if I can get them cheaper.

I use Royal Purple Synchromax plus FM in mine and it should be changed every 18,000 miles according to a lot of people.
