Sorry to interrupt. How did you cut that open, if I may ask?

I use Mopar filters on my other Mopars and they have the same spring and the fram...I figure if its good enough for Ma Mopar its good enough for my daily drivers.

I didnt know that about the xp filters. are all extended interval filters like that?

You can save yourself a few bucks and get a regular wix 51515 filter next time. "XP" is a random weave synthetic filter media. It is purposely designed to not filter as well as regular cellulose filter media 51515. It's is made for synthetic oils AND extended filter change intervals, so it won't plug up prematurely.

I run Mobil 1 10w40.
