Fram or Mopar whichever the nearby Walmart has

FYI, most of the MOPAR branded oil filters for the JT are made by WIX and labeled MOPAR.

Not trying to be argumentative, but what do you base that claim off of that WIX is the OEM for the MOPAR filters?

I have owned 3 FCA vehicle to include my JT that have had 2014+ Pentastar that use the current MOPAR MO-349 style oil filter. I have used multiple WIX oil filters and seen probably 3 variations of design or country of origin sourcing of the WIX filters and none of them would have made me think the WIX was the OEM for the MOPAR Oil filter

Style or looks don't count a lot. Wix makes filters for a lot of companies, but to the specs of those companies. There's only a handful making filters.
Wix makes Mobil 1 filters - but uses a different can and uses synthetic filtering material to Mobil 1 specs.
If you want to know who makes what filter - check the support phone numbers - when I called Mobil1 filter support, I got Wix company, they asked what I was calling about and they got me to that info.
Wix makes Napa filters as well.

I am NOT saying that that they DO certainly make Mopar filters - but it would not surprise me one bit.

Wix, amsoil, mobile 1, or mopar.

I buy the mopar oil filters from Amazon and use Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20. I change the oil every 3K to 3.5K miles and put all the owner maint. information in the Jeep maint. application online. The dealer also adds their information on TSB and recalls in the same app., so, you end up with a nice maint. record with both dealer entries and owner entries. No questions from the dealer on whether you are keeping up on the maint. It is all there for them to see.

And when it's time to sell - or TRADE, it's worth money back to you. Dealers these days look that stuff up. When we traded my wife's 2018 GC with Spencer at Spirit Lake, good grief, he knew as much about that Jeep as we did! Including all maintenance. Maybe that's why we got top-dollar, aside from the fact he's a good honest guy, that is.

I love the fact that you can go in and add maintenance records outside of the dealer network. So if you have someone do anything at all, you can record it, even if you do it yourself.

Edited. I solved the issue.

Why none other than Bob the Oil Guy, among other places that agree with him and they all trade info.

Hell, FCA/MOPAR/JEEP don't make most of the parts on a vehicle, haven't for years. They outsource it and have it stamped MOPAR with corresponding part number.

The real reason assembly was down for so long, no parts because most of Asia was closed.

Amsoil all the way.
And no one is touching my Jeep but me! Free oil changes.... No way no thanks! Not worth the risk of untrained service monkeys screwing something up and who knows what cheap oil and filters.

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

I found these at my local las vegas wal-mart for a buck.
