No you are 100% right.So, what does that mean? Are you suggesting I'm being ridiculous?

Dealers actually use non-mopar/motorcraft/acdelco parts all the time. Unless specified they just have to use a part meeting the minimum specs, typically they get the brand cheaper so they use it, but in a pinch no sweat off their back to install something else as a fram/wix/etc will all meet the minimum specs if its designed for the vehicle.I’m well aware of the way the law is. However if the spec for the Mopar filter is 2 micron and the aftermarket filter is say 5 micron and the pump shits out while said 5 micron I can see stalantis saying hey you used the wrong filter access denied. I’ve just never had a dealer tell me hey we have to put a Napa filter or whatever in cuz we can’t get one. While I can obviously go to the web and have one in a day or two. I suppose that is where I was going with my rant. I did make the appointment two weeks prior and when I make an appointment I expected that they would have the parts to do the work prior to the date of service.
Yup.... Just yesterday, I used my undies for a coffee filter...... Had that chocked full of nuts flavor.......The aftermarket filter will meet or exceed factory specs. And they cannot deny a warranty claim because you have an aftermarket fuel filter. It's literally against the law. Manufacturers cannot require their own parts to preserve a warranty.
My take is you're getting way too wrapped up about this. Here in November 2021, supply chains are a complete mess. You gotta use what you can get.
That is a true Californian.Yup.... Just yesterday, I used my undies for a coffee filter...... Had that chocked full of nuts flavor.......
$170They also want 170 bucks to change it
Terrible analogy. Just yesterday I used a Braun filter in my Melita coffee maker. That's more like it. And its perfectly fine.Yup.... Just yesterday, I used my undies for a coffee filter...... Had that chocked full of nuts flavor.......
It sounds like they're trying to ding him over $100 for labor.$170
Wtf is the filter made of?
Gold?
As long as a filter meets specs - who cares - BUT they must notify you. They can't just put the part in without your permission and they can't charge the MOPAR priceTook my jtd in for oil change tire rotation and a fuel filter swap and they claim they can’t get a fuel filter from Mopar so they want to use an aftermarket filter…. @JeepCares is this normal?? Warranty issues?? Fuel system is not cheep don’t want to be left holding the bag because they put the wrong one in.
Actually they said the filter was 98.99 the rest was labor.Terrible analogy. Just yesterday I used a Braun filter in my Melita coffee maker. That's more like it. And its perfectly fine.
