MOPAR oil filters. . . who makes them?

[Robster]

I haven't bought a MOPAR filter in a few years and have been running mostly FRAM in my RAM trucks. I just bought a 1500 Big Horn with the 3.0L twin turbo which specs the MOPAR 68466307AB. Fram references their XG10575 (I prefer the Ultras), which has very good specs. Who makes the OEM filter these days? MOPAR doesn't post specs for their filter, but the owner's manual references USCAR-36. Any comments on the OEM filter? Thanks! --Rob

probably a mann+hummel purolator.

I’m not sure one manufacturer makes all PNs, or who that/those manufacturer/s might be. I run MO-339s occasionally, and the louvers don’t look like Wix 57060, or Champ PH48XL. Mopar shouldn’t be so silent about their filters, especially since the owner’s manual suggests that only their filters should be used.

Mann + Hummel make the Hyundai / Kia filters (Korean-made) that I use on my wifes Santa Fe--those are built very well, although they don't publish the specs for those either. I'll have to pick up one of the MOPAR filters (maybe two, and cut one) and check it out. Thanks for the replies!

OEM Dodge Jeep Wagoneer filters E CORE. Other factory MOPAR filters are Purolator made. Unsure of aftermarket MOPAR filters found at Wal Mart or parts stores.

I checked the Walmart website for the 68466307AB and nothing came up, at least for MOPAR branded.

FWIW, Rockauto part number search gives me this.

And this if zoomed in.

Years ago, pre Mann+Hummel acquisition, I was in the Purolator plant in Fayetteville, NC and saw pallets of Mopar branded filters being loaded for shipment. Things may have changed since.

Thanks! For some reason I forget to consider RockAuto. . .

Whoever makes them the cheapest for MOPAR....

You would almost think that these days it would be Marelli or Bproauto?
