Re: Oil Filter Info
 

I did the "chop job" on a couple of MoPar filters and did not like
what I found. Besides, around my world you can only get them at the
dealer and they have become a little too condescending unless you are
a commercial shop account. The "walk in" counter is manned by "the
new guy" that is about 20 and loves "ricers". I have to resort to
pointing to the part on the monitor and saying "Looks like # 17".

Sheesh...

Good Luck, Bruce

I heard that Mopar was Wix. Don't know if this is still true.

The Red Chinese Slave Labor factories will now build stuff to whatever specs
you are willing to pay for.

With auto parts that is generally the lowest possible price but not always.
In many respects the Red Chinese version of the XJ was superior to our own.

(Not that I like buying things from our only remaining major enemy.)
