either that or run some 75w140 from your gear box, well not your gear box but someone with a 1500.

I've had the best luck with either Amsoil or M1 filters. Haven't tried the RP filters so can't comment on them. So far mine is running great on 5/20 SS, just ordered more this morning for the wife's van and it will be here tomorrow. Amsoil has also came out with a synthetic media filter for the 3.6 so it's on its way also.
EA15K19-EA is the new filter for the 3.6. Hers is a Dodge grand caravan so I "think" it's the same 3.6.If it walks like a duck..... So I'm sure we can easily say Amsoil EA and RP are really the same thing. But great info on that, probably should be in the oil filter thread of not having a post of it's own. Do you have the part number for the new Amsoil EA filter? Is it the same engine as the Ram, or does she own a ram?
This conversation is getting harder the more beer i drink[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. I just loaded my stove FULL of cherry and MAAAAAN does it smell good[emoji41].

I have one of those at home I'll take a pic of it later. Looks like a good filter for the 3.6Yeah I verified, good info. EA15k19 is the correct part number for the ram 3.6 according to Amsoil's website.

I switched from the fram ultra synthetic so long ago i dont honestly remember if it did it with that filter or not. But a few bad experiences with that filter made me switch.
So what happened, specifically? I started running that filter at my last OCI...no issues after 5K miles.

One of them had significant rust on the inter-tube.
Another came with a bunch of dirt/debris inside the filter as well as strings of glue on the top plate.
Both filters ordered from Amazon. Currently I’m still ordering filters from Amazon but they have been the royal purple 20-820 and there has been no issues. Whether it’s the truth or not I blame it on Fram.
No sir.
That is the larger one
OEM is 10-48

I just changed from PP to PUP and with the RP 10-48 filter. It is twice the size of the little OEM mopar filter.
Not only does my throttle response seem to feel better, but my oil temps went from 220 to 212 and my oil pressure is a lot better. My startups are smoother and I lost the sewing machine noise coming from the lifters.
I'm sold on the royal purple filter (not their oil).
AFAIK the RP 10-48 is the same size as the Mopar filter, unless your truck had the wrong Mopar filter.
The 20-820 filter is the larger one.
I can confirm that the OEM mopar filter that came on my Gen 5 (and the one replaced by first dealership oil change) is significantly smaller than the RP 10-48 I just put on. They may have compatible threads, but that RP filter is significantly larger. Definitely not "the same size". It may be anecdotal, but after seeing the difference in the numbers, that OEM filter was a bottleneck for oil PSI and temps in my truck.
