Changed factory oil and filter today @3150 miles (90% city delivery runs(temp extra job to pay for extra toys for cars)).

Older M1 0w-40 (maybe back in time when in was group 4) went in along with Mopar oil filter. Filter is kinda pita to get to, for that reason could not use my torque wrench to properly tighten it, I hope I did not over tighten it.(needs 25+-5 Nm).
Anyway here is used filter.
This filter fits all 500s and Dart with 1.4 turbo.

You welcome.
Anyway nothing to brag about, lets see how it holds up for 1 year oci or whenever OLM lights up.
In general it looks well built.
(I have a topic somewhere with new one pictured)
 
Wow ... what's with the blinged out chrome end caps? Guess they really want to intimidate those fiber end cap filters.

FYI for all, 25 Nm = 18 ft-lbs ... not super tight.
 
It's plastic, not "fiber aka cardboard".
Haven't seen one with metal caps yet.But will try different brands. Lots of cartridge filters have no caps or plastic ones.

Most of the BMW filters have metal caps too.

Oil moves better over a polished surface.
When I was building engines to run at the drag strip I wanted every oz. of HP I could squeeze out of an engine. I would polish the lifter valley and debur all the oil drains in the block. Makes for better oil flow. There are other tricks but these are just the basics.
