This is weird. I'm doing the first oil change on my truck and the Mobil 1 Oil filter I bought doesn't screw on. The opening is smaller. I'm using size M1-113A which is what is called for. The old filter is the factory installed filter. The Mobil 1 filter has an opening of 3/4" the Mopar filter is 7/8".

Has anyone else ran across this? Thankfully I have my wife's car to run out and get a different one.

Here's the filter that was on there.

I ended up running around the corner to NAPA and grabbing one of their Platinum filters and it fit fine. I measured it before I left the store. I've decided to try 5w-30 instead of their 0w-20 water. I also threw in some Lube Guard I had left over from the last oil change in my old truck. There was about 10oz left in the big bottle.

First oil change is in the books.

That's strange. I always used the WIX so never had an issue

Same with this NAPA. It's the same filter as the Wix so that makes sense. On my last truck ('19 Classic) I only used NAPA Platinum or Wix and never had an issue. This is the first (and probably last) time trying a Mobil 1.

22mm X 1.5 is the thread pitch on the factory filter nipple.They used to be 3/4-16 thread pitch before they switched to the metric filter
