Removed the factory installed Purolator made MOPAR 04892339AA oil filter and found the media torn or what really looks like a bad crimp on the two halves. Either way, Purolator cannot even get the OEM filters right. I am totally done with Purolator and their junk. That company really needs to get their head out of their rear end. 2019 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L (Factory Fill 0W-20) 2017 Jeep Renegade 2.4L (Idemitsu 0W-20)

I will call my dealership service adviser tomorrow that I am tight with and see what he says. Not expecting much as I am sure the Catch 22 of me opening it first will play into deniability or taking responsibility. 2019 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L (Factory Fill 0W-20) 2017 Jeep Renegade 2.4L (Idemitsu 0W-20)

earlyre Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 4,056 Lima, Ohio, USA	my question is which factory installs the oil filter? is it the engine plant? (in this case either Dundee Mi, Trenton Mi, or Saltillo Mex) or the assembly plant (Melfi, Italy) if it's the Assembly Plant, one would think they would source a european made filter, instead of shipping them across the Atlantic. granted they are already shipping the engines to Italy and back...

I'd put money on it being the engine plant. Every engine build video I've ever seen shows the filter on the engine, and every OEM engine I've gotten from the dealer has had a filter pre-installed as well. 2013 Chevrolet Volt - Saves enough in fuel to pay for itself! 2003 Cadillac Seville STS - The winter "beater", it uses the Volt's fuel
