oil filter
 
Can anyone give me an idea on a good oil filter to run in my jeep its a 97sport with a 4.0 I know some rides are picky and just wondering if I should use a certian one

if i were choosing one i'd go a few dollars more and get a Mopar oil filter from the stealer ship

Id get a napa gold or silver, both are made by wix. Gotta be careful with the Mopar ones, many are actually just rebadge fram filters.

Sheehan1973 02-07-2012 07:29 AM

youtube inside fram filter and see what it looks like, you wont wanna buy one again

I use Purolator Pure One.

I would NOT recommend the low end Fram filters. To be fair, Fram's high end filters are okay, but I pay less for the Pure One on sale and it's tough to beat the reviews and analysis of those.....

NAPA gold 1085
NAPA Gold 1515(oversize)

Basically, avoid Fram and you'll be safe.

I use a Mobil 1 filter and I'm very happy with it

oil filter
 
After reading numerous articles and watching several youtube videos I've desided to replace the fram that I just put on last month with either a Mobil1 M1-301 or Motorcraft FL-1A oversized filter. For 93 and newer models with horizontally mounted filters there is no modifications.
I learned about these filters when reading my new High Performance Jeep Cherokee XJ Builders Guide. There are several other filters that will interchange, these 2 are just my picks. Just my 2 cents, Good luck. Also here is a good read. http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oil...reference.html
