I must've been mistaken. I thought Purolator made the Mopar filters. Thanks for the picture

Yes these motors are bulletproof and I was not aware of the rebate on the NexGen oils. Does Valvoline offer the NexGen in a high mileage application?

I stick with the 3,000 mile interval. Thanks for the input and it's always nice to talk to a fellow Jeeper
