This oil filter from SequiaSoon. Believe from his father in laws 2016 Jeep Renegade that had new engine installed under warranty. Looks ok.
Good question. Possibly some assembly gunk or …….Don't see Mopar branded filters too often. Thanks Adam. I do wonder that this is....

Lucky for him I talked him into the 8/85 factory Mopar warranty. 2016 Renegade Trailhawk - 2.4L TigerShark Multi-Air - Mostly dealer OCI's at MM, some independent. Burned a lot of oil along the way, had the software updates that reduced that some but it still used a good amount. Low oil came on a couple times which when I topped it off needed over 2 quarts to get to full mark (takes about 5.5qts). Started getting CEL's for oil pressure, dealer said bad sensor, messed up connector/wiring etc. Replaced and a week later same thing. They took it back and put gauges on it. 5psi oi pressure at idle, 20 psi higher RPM. 3 cylinders with a lot of scoring. Took 9 MONTHS to get a new motor.This oil filter from SequiaSoon.

A couple other issues with coolant leaks after and other BS. It is now on a severe service schedule of 4k miles, he does mostly around town driving. First change got VRP 5W-30, second change got Delo XSP 5W-40 both with factory filters. I think 1500 miles left on this OCI until next change.
Factory long block installed, comes with 2 year unlimited mileage warranty on the motor. I think we have 1 year left. Rest of vehicle is out of warranty.
What is that junk in filter from factory?
It’s a Chrysler product. Nuff’ said. Glad my 02’ Dodge is a DODGE not some Stellantis mess up like what I’m seeing at work.Thanks for posting & a shame what happened to the engine.

His is going to get the Mopar filter for the next year just because of easy documentation. After that it will probably be a Premium Guard or whichever is BITOG approved/recommended at that time.Better than the factory filter that I removed from my wife's then 2017 Renegade that had a torn filter media. Good old Purolator junk.
