Mopar Oil filter 0FE00148 Cutaway
After seeing a few threads on oil filters recently I thought I would check what we have been using on the cuda.
Dad bought a case of these filters 0FE00148 from the local Dodge store back in 2012. I was always meaning to cut one open for a look see. Old filter I pulled off the cuda last year(or year before that) was STILL sitting on my bench so heres pics of what it's like on inside.
Anti drain back valve seems to be made of good quality rubber, "Parker" made.
Spring is fairly stiff/strong too.
I tried to remove the top and bottom "caps". No way they were coming off by hand! Which is good. Pleats held in by a strong epoxy.
I took a grinder and cut the caps down the middle and cut thru the paper to separate. Also cut thru the center metal reinforcement. Very similar strength wise to a soup can. Good n sturdy. All metal in the filter is magnetic so steel, no aluminum. Paper seemed decently thick and fairly durable, not "paper towel" like at all. Although tearing it wasnt hard.
I'm happy and will continue to run these filters.
