Mopar filter and Penzzoil Ultra Platinum. A 5 quart jug is $24.97 on Amazon with another 1 quart for $7.31. Add in the Fumoto valve for easy oil changes.

I buy a Mopar filter from RockAuto or wherever and pick up O’Reily Auto’s branded full synthetic.

About $30-$35 an oil change.

I use Mopar filters from Amazon for like $8 ( https://amzn.to/2QJn2xJ ) and whatever brand-name dino-juice is on sale at the AutoZone that day. Since i change the oil every 3k-5k miles, using synthetic would be a waste of money..

I might need to start buying Mopar filters, I recently got the P06DD code. I reset the code and it hasn't come back, but I had a previous code that the dealership said was unusual oil pressure or something, and changed my oil & filter and it went away.
I heard K&Ns are also very good and tend to fit more snug than Mopar filters.
I usually use Valvoline full synthetic. Hasn't done me wrong and my pops uses it in all his cars & trucks too.

Fram filter and Mobil 1

I use Royal Purple filters and oil. Internal engine protection is not something I need the cheap-out on.

Mobil 1 and whatever filter I can get cheap. Last time I did my oil it was a bitch. I started unscrewing the filter cap and when I pulled it off I heard a "ping' and realized the crappy plastic bypass valve had bit the dust. Amazon to the rescue and I had my Jeep back up and running a day later.

This is such a bad design, I've heard Mopar upgraded / redesigned the oil filter housing for later JKs?

I am assuming you have a 3.8?

Nope, 3.6 in a 2013, but from what I've read they changed the housing in the 2014 and up 3.6s.
That would make some sense. I know there was an oil leak issue with the 2012's and 13's i believe.
