I'll be changing the oil in my truck and wife's car in a few weeks. Going to order 15 quarts of PUP 5W-20, couple bottles of Lubgard, and a Royal Purple filter for my truck. I don't have much experience with the 3.6L, just wondering what the better oil filters are for her car (2018 Charger SXT). She works from home, so the car doesn't get a lot of miles or action. Maybe five miles a day at the most, other than a trip or two to her mom's house every month (170 mile round trip). Thanks in advance!

We did find one a long time ago that was spun micro glass I forget, I'd look up fram ultra or amsoil ea, maybe even wix xp. If no go on those, look up m1 for the blended one.

XG11665 looks like fram ultra if you cant find any other.

Have a new engine or trying to provide maximum protection for an older one? Ultra Synthetic provides top performance. Engineered to be paired with synthetic oil, it offers proven protection up to 20,000 miles.

FWIW my wife's 2017 Jeep GC 3.6 rattles bad in cold starts with PUP 0w20. On SS and RL 0w20 it's much quieter. Other than that it runs great on PUP.

Filters I've been running the Mopar ones but I do have an Amsoil one waiting to go on which is like the Fram Ultra.

Between the Pentastar in our grand caravan we used to own and my 2017 Ram 1500 with a pentastar, I've probably done 20+ oil changes on them with various filters. It's hard to say what makes one filter better than the other. The media area is HUGE on these drop in style filters vs the tiny amount you'll find in a hemi oil filter, plus the pentastars hold ~6qts, which is a lot for a small engine.

Even some of the Supertechs and Frams I've used were made in Germany or Bulgaria and appeared to be well made and very consistent looking, even after they had 5000-7000 miles on them.
