Something to think about. The factory dealers usually have two grades of oil filters. Guess what, for the free oil changes for life or their specials you are getting their bottom of the barrel filter.
If I had any of these oil changes done I would pay the difference in filter costs to get their best!
Dealers only have one grade of filter. parts stores have up to 3!
That's not what I have found.
Then you found a bad dealer. dealers should only stock their brand filters. when I was with Chrysler the only non-mopar filter was for the Cummins engines. same with Ford! the dealer is cheaping out if they are stocking non oem filters!
I did not say "Brand" I said "Grade". The Cummins filtration company Fleetguard provides filters to Mopar. They make two grades of filters.
So like I say ask when getting a dealer oil change ask if they are using their "BEST" oil filter or not.
