So, I’ve used up my Jeep Wave oil changes and will be doing them myself from now on and was wondering where the best place to order the oil filters is?

Any suggestions?

I'm about 3 oil changes in, bought two off amazon ($50) and one at the dealership ($100). The dealership purchase was because my order wasn't going to show up in time and I had to leave within a couple of days for Overland Expo.

Okay help me on this.
Having just 1000 miles so far and not an oil change yet, what is so special about the oil filters? Not a typical spin on filter that you can buy
for $8 at the dealership?

Cartridge filter. Top of engine. Nothing special except MOPAR thinks because it has their name on a Wix filter they can overcharge for it.

Dang I bought a few for around $10 I think I got one from Amazon for maybe $11-12 not 2 for $50. ?
I'm about to get a few more just to have on hand, I'm needing to do a oil change in few more weeks again.

$8.50 on the Zon, been using these for about 15,000 miles and 3 oil changes, no issues so far. The ad looks kinda sketch, but they come in an official looking mopar box.

Edit: lets argue about oil. Im running Rotella T Gas Truck 0W-20, fairly temperate conditions here in middle California, along with the Mopar filter listed above.

Wix makes them but to MOPAR specs. Same with other company's filters made by Wix. They aren't exactly the same as those in the Wix box.
That's the way most of these things work. I talked directly to support at the filter manufacturer (Wix) and he flat out said that the filter I had was made to different specs (Mobil 1) compared to the Wix filter.

Can't be too different, I compared mine to the wix and they were nearly identical. Unless Mopar is using significantly different filter medium they're almost carbon copies.

The air filter is also a wix filter down to the same glue, pleat numbers, rubber etc.

Bill, you missed the point, MOPAR wants 5-10 times more for their filter that they don't do anything but allow their name on the package. I don't use MOPAR and I don't use Wix (China rears it's head).
