Best source for reasonably priced filters? In the past I found good deals from a online supplier but I guess I didn't save the link and google hasn't been real helpful.
Not sure yet if I will stick with OEM or my favorite WIX.

I've always used Wix filters on previous vehicles...

Someone posted that aftermarket filters could void warranty - due to valve in Mopar filte is this a thing with Chrysler/Ram?... Wix are quality filters
Walmart sells MOPAR filters now; so that is where I go.
Who makes MOPAR's filters? I have to imagine they are re-branded from some other company.

These days, I lean towards Amazon.

Just in case you need the OEM filter model #s: Filter from first oil change is 04892339AA / 50048919 which is the MO 339. FYI K&N filter is HP-1017 which has the "wrench off" feature on the filter.

I've always used Napa Gold or WIX on my vehicles. Just depends where I get them from and if I need to order other stuff at the same time or not. The bonus for me is that AMSOIL recently started selling WIX filters

Redline 5w20 or 5w30 with a Royal Purple filter for my first oil change and from then on for me. I usually just go Amazon for the filter.

Idc for mopar filters unless it’s the srt one. I’d dare say it..... I would put a motorcraft filter before a reg mopar. M1 is what I use for this truck
