Great deal if you buy multiple to even out the shipping cost.

You wouldn't be buying 20 if you had an EcoDiesel. Those suckers are $$$$.

I chose Amsoil because my rep said they dont ever need to be replaced. Just rinse it off like a k&n air filter.

I use FRAM ultra synthetic in all my vehicles. All 3 vehicles get the same Motul 5w-30 too.

I don’t see your logic. Especially when you’ll spend so much on oil. As a former engine builder, the stock filter does the job. Most efficient?…which is the purpose of the filter, to remove particulate, it’s not. New filter to new filter, it catches less AND manages to be more restrictive at the same time. That’s because of the economical media.

Toyota filters are notorious for not doing great filteration yet Toyota engines outlive their bodies. Because Toyota believes particles beyond a certain point are not harmful to the engine so why try to filter every molecule at the cost of flow. I believe Mopar has the same idea. Plus, during cold start and high load oil is bypassed, no filteration is done so why buy fancy oil filters. So my plan is to keep my oil as clean as possible, change it every 2000 miles, and change the oil filter and air filter as well. Now I will order a whole bunch from Rock Auto.

Mopar filter is not some cheap crap, it is super decent. Its plastic skeleton is more beefy than every filter I have seen out there. So we can never go wrong with Mopar filter. Mopar makes very good filters. They make all kinds of them, even the gigantic ones for 6.7L Cummins.

Fram Ultra's filtration media might be really nice, but it's plastic skeleton is so fragile and cheaply made. In comparison, Mopar feels so robust

The thing is, that other brands have a limited sample of Pentastars, Mopar's sample is 13 million of them. So I will go with the Jeep engineers on this one

Lets go Mopar

Going to need you to add K&N to that list!!

While K&N doesn't offer a oil filter for the Gen 3 EcoDiesel specifically, they do offer an option for the Gen 2 EcoDiesels, And if you know what you're doing, you can get all the parts you need and successfully run a Gen 2 EcoDiesel oil filter setup on your Gen 3 EcoDiesel as I have been doing for the last 20,000 mi!

At this point, both of our vehicles, the '20 Subaru Forester and my '21 EcoDiesel Wrangler have been running K&N oil filters, reusable engine air filters and reusable cabin air filters... Shoot I even run the reusable K&N home air filter in our house!

Telling you man, K&N is a great brand! No issues with them for the last 15 years!

So yeah, I would love to vote when you add K&N to that list!

Mopar's oil filters are made in China... Not that that's a bad thing, just figured I'd let you know.

I got a spare second gen EcoDiesel oil filter cap if you want to start running second gen EcoDiesel oil filters!

If you bide your time, they go on sale every couple of months, down to $11.99 each. So for $100, You can get eight filters, which equates to 40,000 mi worth of oil changes.

Amsoil one is also made in China
