    The MOPAR filter is a good filter. It is made by Champion.

    The SRT oil filter has a thicker case and the flutes are slightly different. It also has a coil relief spring.

    Supposedly, it deals with high oil pressure better and the filter element is of better quality. It sells for about $10.50.

    I haven't used it, however. I usually buy either a Mobil 1 or Purolator Pure One filter. They are less expensive than the SRT filter and just as good.

    NAPA Gold is also an excellent filter. Stay away from Fram filters. They are cheaply made.
