And yes, the oil filter drain makes a huge mess on the tie rod, drag link and especially the steering stabilizer boot. I have done a bunch of oil changes and thought I was slick and could catch it all in a glass jar. Evidentally, I am indeed not slick, so I recommend to make a tin foil funnel from the filter housing down to guide the drain.
I had this issue with my last 392 in my 2013 GC SRT. Knowing it would be the same issue on this engine I am looking at remote filter options. Just need to find enough room in the bay.

I am finding the 04892339aa, 04892339ab, but not the 04892339ac filters online. Any difference between the three filters that impact fitment on the 392?

I’m going to use the MO-041 on all changes. It is bigger and kind of a PITA to screw off/on but I’m a fan of the extra filtration. Did the initial change at ~1100 miles and will do them every 5K.

I love the idea of remote filters, but if you're a do-it-yourselfer type and you've never installed one before, just be extra certain that you get any hose clamps sufficiently tight. I lost an engine in an older Toyota 4-runner that way once. The clamps were a PITA to tighten, and although they were a challenge, I thought had done a good enough job tightening them. Unfortunately, not so much. Lost an oil line that was attached to the adapter part that goes on the original filter mount on the block while playing in snow one day and didn't notice it had lost all it's oil until I started to hear a loud knock coming from the motor.

I have a metric ton of Viper Gen IV and Gen V filters - at one point, they were the standard SRT filters for the hellcats and Demon. I'm trying to figure out if I can use them on the 392. Some of my Viper friends warn me that the bypass pressure is different (my Viper ACR-E idles at around 100 psi) so I 'm scratching my head. Seems there is a bizarre filter shortage these days, and some filters (like the Viper specific filter) aren't available. That said, it's about the highest quality filter you can get, and if it'll fit on my 392 safely, I'll use it.

Also, if people haven't already done so, at the earliest oil change possible, send a sample to Blackstone. That way you have a baseline to compare to when the engine wears in. I always get a sample at 500 miles, and then send in samples from there. Very helpful to see if anything is amiss.

Interesting - this is the standard SRT Viper filter that I have. I'm scratching my head as to whether I want to use it or not - it's a great filter, but if the bypass settings are a problem, I'm looking for more info.

How's it working out for you so far?

No issues. Just did my second oil/filter change with this setup.

Just read a very extensive explanation of all the filters that will work on the Hemi engines. The 041 has some advantages and there doesn't seem to be any downside. They have more filtering material inside, and they have what looks to be a more stout and reliable bypass valve. I'm going to switch away from the stock filter at 500 miles, have a Blackstone test done, and use that as a benchmark going forward. It's also easier to just keep one filter on the shelf - I've got Vipers and Hemis, and I don't want to have to stock all kinds of different filters.

The 041AA filters are easy to find now. I just had a dozen of them delivered at about $15 each. Supposedly, in November Mopar is going to issue a new upgraded batch (probably called 041AB) that is slightly different. It's still the same thread pitch and overall size, so I'll get some of those when they come out. If you're interested, last I checked CARiD had about a hundred of them in stock. Here's the link: https://www.carid.com/mopar/engine-oil-filter-mpn-05038041aa.html

RockAuto has the 041 filter in stock now for $9.90 — easily the lowest price around at the moment.

No horse in the race, but no stranger to oil and filters and I would find a synthetic media filter when there is one available.

It will trap more dirt and flow more oil than a cellulose media based filter.

1,000 miles, initial change on new ‘22 392.
Steel oil pan on this one—took 7 qtz, (as did my ‘21 w aluminum pan).
Went with MO-899 filter this time.

Anyone else w experience using this filter?
