Because of delays in receiving my ordered Ram1500, I was given free oil changes.
After calling a few dealerships who use Rotella oil in the Ecodiesel, I found one who said they only use Mopar MS-12991 in the EcoDiesel, so I made the appointment. Many dealers are still using Rotella which would be fine with me if it complied with MS-12991 ???
Not trusting that they would provide the correct filter, I checked before leaving the dealership and found that the filter was different than the stock filter. It was glossy and did not have the “M” “Mopar” logo imprint.
When I confronted the service manager, he said it was a genuine Mopar filter and he did not know why it was different. He showed me (what he said was) the box that the filter came in. He said that the housing may be different because the filters are now a “one-time-use”, so a running change may have been made to replace the older heavier-duty filter with logo.
So, my question to the 5gen Ram community… Do ALL of the newer Mopar filter cartridges have a Mopar logo embossed on them. ? If so, I got cheated. (So did Ram because they paid for the oil change)
