Only had my Gladiator for 3 months. Haven't dove it a lot. Just wondering what filters everyone are using? Fram, Mopar, K&W. Are the more expensive really better? I used Fram since my 92 Cherokee was new and never had a problem except for a rear main leak. So what are your thought?

Walmart carries Mopar. I’ll be using that when I can until the warranty expires.

So are you running Mopar oil too until the warranty is up?

I will continue to do the same as I did for my last jeep.

Buy a Mopar filter from the dealer every time, and then use the receipt to record miles and date of when the oil/filter was changed, and the oil used. Always used Pennzoil Platinum of the viscosity described in the owners manual.

I got two free oil changes from the dealer, along with the four from Jeep Wave. I'll let the dealer choose the filter until later next year when I have to start paying for it. I have used Baldwin, Fram, and OEM labeled filters with no issues.

I've been using Bosch filters, switched to Mobil 1 filters for my 73, and likely will use Mobil 1 or Bosch for the Jeep once the wave bit is over. Will research the MOPAR filter to see how it stacks up against the synthetic filter material of the Mobil 1 filter.
I also believe I found MOPAR filters made by Wix - there's only a tiny handful of companies that make filters.
If I'm not mistaken the NAPA gold, a respected filter in the classic car world, is made by Wix.

Thanks to all of you for the great information! I didn't know about the Jeep Wave membership. I never received any info on it.

My Jeep Wave envelope showed up like two months after I bought the truck.
