Best Place to Buy Mopar Maintenance Parts?

[BlueYonder]

I've owned my Gladiator (2021 HydroBlue Overland, Manual 6 spd, 78k miles) for about 5 months now. Am very happy with the truck overall, my only real complaint being the clutch/tranny when trying to back my trailer up my hilly/curvy driveway. It doesn't like that!

Anyway, I am getting ready to do some maintenance work (oil & filter, manual trans fluid, transfer case fluid, axle fluid, engine and cabin air filters, etc.). I want to use Mopar OE parts and fluids where it makes sense, but am finding they are quite expensive! Does anyone have a good source for Mopar parts that is more reasonable and legit? Or advice on where aftermarket parts are just as good at better prices?

Thanks in advance!

Amazon. There are other suitable alternatives as well.

Amazon for the oil and filter.

Follow one of your tech guys home. Stalk him and get to know his routine. Bump into him ever now and then. Buy him lunch and become his friend. Then maybe, he could extend his "at cost" discount to you. Never burn that bridge and you're set for as long as he keeps his job.

All filters are not created equal...be careful with aftermarket stuff. There are plenty of YouTube comparison videos, some are are eye opening. After 43 years as a mechanic, I've seen the good, bad, and ugly. I stick with Mopar filters only for the all metal internals, no cardboard.

Ive bought from all three. Some are cheaper than others. My only complaint from the three would be World Parts Direct. Their ship times are super slow. But they have really good prices.

I scored a 6-pack of K&N filters when they were on sale for $9 each on Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Not really a "pack" per se. I just bought six. They're still on sale, but for $16 (https://a.co/d/2P3YwW3). I normally buy either Mopar or Purolator filters. I stay away from Fram and any of the house-brand or no-name filters. After you change it and before the first startup, make sure you prime the filter by running the starter (without starting the engine) for 10 seconds, 5 seconds at a time with a 10-second break in the middle.

Although it is reusable, the K&N oiled cotton engine air filter has an implied warranty (product-replacement or money-back) and nothing more. The title of every subsection of the warranty page is in LARGE-BOLD-ALL-CAPS. This is arguably a way to deter someone from reading the warranty. Not to mention the review committee on this forum who will swoop down and remind everybody that K&N scored poorly in comparative testing. In spite of these detractions, this engine air filter is still listed in my post on Links to Prices. I was a loyal K&N customer for more than 25 years until I switched brands earlier this year. I still have two of their filters sitting on a shelf.

As for Purolator, I cannot make heads or tails of the results from their part finder. The Purolator Part Finder says that PurolatorONE™ Advanced Air Filtration, part number A21421, is a correct filter for my 2020 Gladiator Sport V6 3.6L, and shows that it is available at Walmart. After checking walmart.com, I found that they do not carry Purolator A21421.

I moved on to Google and found that Advance Auto Parts carries Purolator A21421. However, after entering my vehicle info to confirm that it fits, Advance redirected me to Carquest part number 93882. I just looked up the Carquest warranty and it is a good warranty (it covers damage to other parts).

Note: Off-road use voids each warranty mentioned in this reply. In other words, the warranty guidance here applies to folks who use their Gladiator only as a daily driver (on-road only).​

This is why I didn't list a Purolator engine air filter in my post on Links to Prices. I wanted to list one of their engine air filters because Purolator has a good warranty (it covers damage to other parts), but getting the runaround on the 'net is not good marketing.

After searching for engine air filters sold under many reputable brands frequently mentioned on this forum, BITOG, and the Wrangler sister site, only FRAM XGA12373 made the cut. FRAM also has a good warranty (it covers damage to other parts).

Of course, MOPAR 68257030AA also made the cut. However, for DIY, MOPAR has an implied warranty (product-replacement or money-back), as explained in my warranty post. When a MOPAR part is installed by a (qualified) dealer, the warranty covers damage to other parts for two years.

For me, the jury is still out on FRAM XGA12373. If it performs well, I will continue to use it. If it doesn't, I will default back to MOPAR 68257030AA.

With all of that said, why do you steer clear of FRAM as a rule? It seems to me that they've raised the bar for themselves by developing excellent (on paper) engine air filter and oil filter options.

I would like to add. I placed an order with @AllMoparParts.com an hour ago and just received a tracking number. They are awesome!
