Oil Filter for Jeep 4.0

[jeepman3071]

I'm thinking about using the larger oil filter for my 4.0L in my Cherokee. I usually run conventional 10w40 or Rotella T 5w40 with a 4,000 OCI. Mainly because the Jeep barely warms up by the time I get to school. Which filter would be better for my application, the Purolator Classic L30001 or the Motorcraft FL1A? These seem to be the best for the price.

Napa Gold 1515 is the larger 1085. I've used them many times with no problems.

I run a Wix 51515 on mine, The Napa Gold mentioned above is also the same filter.

the FL1A is slightly better than P classic

fl1a due to the bypass valve location, but both are great filters. mike

I run the PL30001 PureOne (larger filter) on my mom's 4.0. Works fine, fits nicely. I'd go for the Motorcraft over a Puro Classic though, as IIRC, the Motorcraft is basically a Puro Classic with a silicone ADBV.

I thought about the NAPA Gold 1515 but its more expensive than a Pure One of the same size. I looked up the FL1A and it doesn't have a silicone anti-drain back valve. Some forums showed them cut open and they had a black rubber valve.
