Diesel Oil filter

Worth noting that I’m not actually over on my oil change…

I've put 35.6K miles on my diesel Glady in 13 months. I scheduled my 4th oil change at 2 different dealers in Northern Utah in the past week. Learned that Jeep Cares covers the first 3 changes but I'll have to pay for the 4th. But neither dealer had the 68507598AA filter in stock, none were showing in their network, and no one could say when one would be available. Did some sleuthing. There's lots of chinese knock-offs available on Amazon, eBay and Google shopping starting at $18, but no Mopars. Maybe they're made by the same factory, but some of the Amazon comments made me nervous. Then I found an OEM at mopar.com for $73.24. Order placed and confirmed.

Glad you can find one. For what it’s worth, Ken Garff has the Chinese knock offs. If anyone gives you crap about it being a Chinese knock off and the warranty issues, I can supply you with the email from Jeep cares stating to go that route.

Folks, even that Mopar units states on the box, "Made in China". Now the fuel filter I have is made in the states.

And only about $3-4 more than when I ordered two months ago. I was expecting a much bigger jump given the prices I have seen people throw around.

Like I stated in another post about this subject…. I’ve been using an Ecogard filter and Amsoil in my Ecodiesel with no problems, just be sure to torque your filter to 25nm

I put an oil filter bypass on mine and run a gen 2 element in it. They are 7dollars at the parts store.

Ultra-Power is Rock Auto's house brand name. Can be anything from other brand close outs to new contract made for them filter. I would not lean on the use of the WIX part number as any indication you will get a WIX product. Most third party brands will adopt any part number naming convention they want to included competitors.

That's what makes it easier to cross part numbers at times. Filter A has number 43567 and filter B has A43567 and filter C has a similar number - but they are worlds apart in quality and how they are made.
It's a lot easier to adopt the numbering of a competitor because it simplifies your own catalog - and also gets people to buy because it's a familiar number. Psychology - familiarity.

Any idea on who has the actual wix filter?
