6 month oil change?

[AH64ID]

Yeah the really low flow rate on the factory filters caught my eye. The oil pump can move just over 20 gallons per minute peak.

Greg the flow rates are very misleading, do to the fact the PSI is NOT rated, couple that with the same Mic ratings, at what PSI?

I doubt those filters are even close to the ratings at application running pressures. ( just like the fuel filters)

When it comes to Lube filtering low volume at low Mic filtration is much better, we are talking only 3 Gallons of lube to filter. IMO

I went in for my complimentary first 6 months oil change at the dealer with 2500 miles on it and they told me it's a year interval or 15000 miles. I"m like you and don't rack up a lot of miles, I have 18000 miles on it since it was new. I change the oil once a year which usually is around the 5000 mile mark and keep all the receipts as per the service manager at the dealership.

Friends,
OK, the type A in me got the best of me. Sold 6 Mopar oil filters to my BIL and another 6 to a friend for $11 each AND ordered 4ea 2 packs of Donaldsons from Amazon.

Darned type A, cant seem to overcome it.

Cheers, Ron

HAAAAAAAAA, too funny!

I had always thought the MOPAR was a strata pore. Now it's a NoBueno!!!

No, I have a dealer account with Amsoil and have always found the Donaldson filters cheaper. I usually buy them in sets of 2-4.

My last pair of Donaldson filters was $25.50, or $12.75/ea to my door on Amazon. Preferred Customer pricing on the Amsoil filter is $15.85 plus tax/shipping, so even if I got it without shipping it’s more expensive.

It’s been a while, but I was also buying the Donaldson locally for ~$14.

There is a pair on Amazon right now for $22.84, probably as cheap as I’ve seen the DBL7349.

That's a good price. Is there a difference between that and ELF7340?

HAAAAAAAAA, too funny!

Yep, LOL. Ever see someone who could ARGUE both sides? Just couldn't take it anymore. I'll sleep good tonight.

I had always thought the MOPAR was a strata pore. Now it's a NoBueno!!!

I know, I had run Stratapore forever, in fact had last one I put on 2017 5500 at my first oil change. Had the TDR gallery educate me Mopar isn't Stratapore when I started thread Mopar Stratapore on sale at Genos. The rest is history. So that's why i didn't feel bad selling them to the Fram crowd, big improvement for them.

FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK ON THE TOP OF THE HEAP AGAIN.

Cheers, Ron

I'm not seeing that as a valid part number.

They are wrong, but they are being realistic.

Thanks, there is one ad on AMAZON stating that number but showing a pic of a DBL7349.

The DBL replaced the ELF.

Must have been a typo.

Low volume at low micron...... Good argument for a bypass filter!!!!!!!! And that is partly why they do so much more than the full flow.
