Mopar MO-349 cartridge filter w/ 11,820 miles

[Bighorn2500]

This MO-349 went 11,820 miles and almost three months to the date on this past change.
It had 0w20 QSUD during this change. SIL’s 2019 Durango has 93,497 miles on it. Longer than I would have like to see it go but reminding my brother the oil change minder went off is not her strong point. Filter looked fine though, no separation or tears in the media.

Looks great! Just more evidence that the Pentastar is pretty easy on oil. It indicates that the oil was probably still in decent shape, too! Thanks for posting!

Can you cut the filter and see how much metal you find?

I’ll see if I can dig it out of the trash and get around to it later this week or next weekend.

my go to filter in the wife's 2014 T&C. Good motor, nice filter!

Just my $0.02

Looks good to me, like it handled the fci well. Wonder who makes it for Mopar, harder to tell with cartridges. This application has to be one the longer cartridges.

Thanks for pics.

Not sure who has the current contract but it has been Purolator & Wix in past years made to Chrysler/FCA specifications.

Pretty solid material to cut through, utility knife wasn’t getting it all the way. Ended up using a hack saw blade to get through the top & bottom. In the sunlight I could see some tiny metal flakes, glitter-like in the light. Not a lot but it appears to be doing its job.

Some metal which is perfectly normal. Thanks for taking the time to cut the filter element out.
