Which oil filter for 2014 Jeep Cherokee?

[NHHEMI]

Not only is the 2014 Cherokee a brand new vehicle but it looks like Chrysler has decided to use a brand new filter for the 3.2L( same filter for 2014 3.6L as well - different from 2013 and earlier ). Obviously that leaves me with limited filter choices. All I have found so far are the following...

OEM MOPAR = 68191349AA
Aftermarket MOPAR = M0-349
Wix = WL10010
Purolator Classic = L36296
Fram = CH11665
Champ/LuberFiner = P1009

Fram and Champ/LuberFiner are out. I am torn on the other options. I have always run premium filters like K&N, RP, M1, etc... and having to go back to a regular filter stinks. It is what it is for now though. Before anyone feels the need to lecture me, yes, I know a regular filter will do the job. I just like what I like.

I am thinking of the options that the Wix filter may be the best of the bunch. Which would you use?

pur all the way man

Keep that Mopar all Mopar....lol

Out of that list, I have no experience of anything MOPAR. Id go with Wix. Which are US made? I picked up a FRAM Ultra the other day, its great to read "Made in the USA". Voting with dollars is powerful.

We really need to see how powerful it can be.

If you can't find your premium filters, go MOPAR OEM.

Mopar aftermarket

Being cheap, I'd just grab a Napa 100010 for $5.39.

Mopar OEM filters have been transitioning to rebranded Wix for the last several years, so I would go there first if you don't buy OEM. I'm sure the Puro will be every bit as good. I believe all those filters are made in South Korea.

A regular filter will do the job.

Cartridge filter right? I've been very satisfied with the Wix cartridge filters I've been using in the one vehicle we have that takes them.

 

[Rolla07]

Isnt the Puro made in USA? I know the pure ones ive bought are made in USA.

That's not the #. Napa doesn't have this filter yet( listed anyway ).

Yes. It is a cartridge style. Thanks.

I would use the OEM Mopar at least until there is some experience with the aftermarket choices.

A quick google and some reading on the Jeep boards seems to indicate this filter change was to address the engine noise some folks have reported, at least that is the supposition FWIW.

Good detective work, Yonyon. Here's the link:

http://www.nfhconnect.com/lookup/index2....p;TempYear=2014

I would get the OEM/MOPAR filter for the first change. Then, compare filters for your next change.

I would not be surprised to find out that all are made by the same mfg. and rebranded. (Mopar/OEM/Purolator/Wix/NAPA). Maybe even the Fram.
