Anyone have the number of the ecodiesel oil filter? I checked on multiple websites and I can't find a cross reference.
 
Are you sure of that part number ? The number i have been seeing is 68498720 AA the best price i have seen is 63.25 up to 74.95 .

NO, I'm not. haven't tried to install it yet however, it looks the same and I'm not sure the same physical part doesn't have two part nos. I'm giiong to install it this weekend.
 
I have these two brand new oil filters and the fuel filter wrench I bought for my 2015 Ecodiesel. Not sure if they would work with the latest gen, if so make me an offer I can’t refuse, and I’ll send them to you, some where in the lower 48 that is.

Just got my oil changed last week at dealer (2,500 miles) it is filter 68498720AA. I wanted them to do the first change.
 
Oil Filter [OEM] (Ecodiesel)
(I checked the gen 3 info)
OEM Mopar


OEM Part Number: 68229402AA
Manufacturer Number: 68229402AA
$63.96
OEM Mopar oil filter for 3.0L Ecodiesel engine used in the Dodge Ram 1500 and WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
IMPORTANT! This filter has the o-ring at the top of the alignment tube on the top of the filter. Ram 1500 models must have the o-ring at the top to properly seal the filter in the housing. Many aftermarket filter manufacturers incorrectly put this o-ring lower on the filter. Because of this we recommend the OE Mopar filter at this time.

Yes this is the pn shown for up to 2019 3.0l but for 2020 this one is used. 68498720AA. I'm wondering if they aren't the same part with different numbers.

not sure - I searched under 2020 specifically, thats what it brought up.
 
allmoparparts.com and Genos Garage .com both list the fuel filter as 68436631 AA and oil filter as 68498720 AA . The fuel filter has changed to the same one they use in the Cummins
and the filter location has moved forward under the driver side foot well mounted on the frame . Much easier to change .
