I use the same filter. I have 5 more of the old style, after that I will switch to royal purple filters.

I bought a filter for my sons f150 at Walmart last week. He’s got a 2020f150 with a 2.7 v6. I looked at the fram check filter and compared it to the Motorcraft filter on the shelf. The difference was amazing. The end caps of the fram were half as thick as the Motorcraft. The number of pleats were obviously fewer on the fram. The overall quality and feel was superior on the Motorcraft. It was a big difference. So I bought the Motorcraft.

I also just bought a 2019 Ram hemi last week….love it. After this comparison I ordered 3 royal purple filters for the hemi.

The srt filter was cut open recently by @Hemi395 , no wire mesh and hard media. Not sure if its any better at filtering, not sure id trust mopar with the crap I see them pull anyway.
Ill run rp next change, shoulda just stayed with it and bought multiple then trying all these different options.

I Must say that Fram gain my trust,the last 20 years I am using it for my pontiac, Voyager ,and for the Honda civic ultra synthetic ,so this filter never failed me,now I am just hoping that Fram test the new style really good before they put them on the market.

Ive used fram since the 1970s also.I prefer the xg frams now but I will run what the "boutique filter fans" around here call the orange cannister of death... meaning the orange frams.I've ran for maybe a few million? miles using them with no issues.I dont think most engines are nearly as picky as people are.I know it's blasphemy tho.lol

I'd still use them, they are top quality blended filter I believe. I would not go 20k miles on them, no way, not even 10k to be honest. I'd say 5k miles, until we get a couple guys to cut them open and report back in oil filter thread that has led to the info we currently have.

I don't know the argument for running paper filters, I don't get it. Flow, longevity, and amount of contamination they can hold, why not use synthetic one? paper filters stiffen and go straight into bypass when they do, so can you even call a paper filter a filter? It filters for a while, then it is just a useless thing oil travel flows through.

 

[Octane]

Personally,I won't go 5k on any oil that I will buy,Unless it's mostly highway miles.And certainly not more than that on any filter.Any man or company that is wanting to sell you something is suspect in my opinion.I do what works for me.I know tho that there are different levels of quality products on the market.I just mostly am not going to pay their price. Besides,nothing lasts forever and my junk lasts long enough! And if it don't,then the maker screwed up not me!Lol.

Exactly right,but they still firm on their product,same specs same miles etc, but not for 20000 miles,6200 max,so I think I am gonna use them ,time will tell.

I cut it down the miles allready, for my wife CRV ,we go right till the orange light come up,lake 12.500km or so,but with the Ram no,I wont go more then 10.000km with the full synthetic.

I never believe they, no matter who they is. I find out for myself. If you cut it open and the filter media is pliable, it's good, if it is stiff, it is bad.

Then switch to Mopar (or Bosch/Wix (napa-gold). All very good, top quality filters. The regular fram filters are super cheap constructed inside ...like crap. If you don't believe it, cut some open. Or watch a couple youtube videos.

The Best & Worst Oil Filter -13 Oil Filters Compared In Head-2-Head Challenge - Fram, Mobil 1, Wix

I cut open 13 oil filters to compare who is the best. Five of the oil filters were for conventional oil and the other eight filters were for synthetic oil. T...

The better Frams like you were/are using are pretty good, you were lucky to find a good deal. Considering the other good filters on the market there's no reason to NOT try the other top filters. The ultimate truth is, they'll all work 'ok'. Some better than others, or are built a lot better.

Considering the newness of your tk, if you ever have a warranty issue, using the Mopar filter should reduce conversation around filtration issues. Funny thing is, most people on the internet seem to make the decision what filter to use based on the lowest price, paint color, or what their dad used in the 1970's/80's.

 

[Jeepwalker]

You can go a lot of miles on synthetic. I guess whatever you feel comfortable with, but definitely not more than the manual states (for warranty purposes). I used to drive my Jetta diesel 10,000-12,000 miles between oil changes using Shell Rotella T6 synthetic. Usually somewhere in between but never under 10k mi. per change. Course it usually used 2-3 quarts in that period. Lot of jetta owners do that. Car's got 276,000 mi and looks brand new under the valve covers.

The stack mopar filter they put in new trucks are much worst then fram,that s fact,so the oil shell rotella has a chrysler approval ,so I am not worrying too much about the filter,guys change oil every 6000km with top class oil&filter and still have the camshaft &lifter tick,so it comes to be Russian rulet

 

[Jeepwalker]

The aftermarket Mopars are nice. There are better, of course. Any of the better grade filters will work just fine, incl your Fram if you can continue to find them. But you shouldn't get much beef from the dealer with a Mopar filter on it.

Everyone should know that the gold filters are best...well,because they are gold after all. Lol. And besides,if modern engine metallurgy is as good as some say it is then any "antique" filter should work....but synthetic media is better.But keep that thick crap stabilizer oil additives out of a modern engine.

I've been using NAPA Platinum (Wix) for a few years now, ever since I've watched a couple of those YouTube filter videos. They were eye opening.
