Who Makes the Mopar oil filters and are they any good??? I use Purolator classic or wix

I think Purolator makes them

The M-090's are the same as a Purolator classic

No idea who makes them, but I cut open an MO-090 filter and it looked pretty solid to me.

I recently inherited 4 Mopar Canada filters (same application, different part #) from my mother's husband when he scrapped his Caravan. Both filters were US made, but gave no clue who made them.

The only identifying mark I could find on the inside was on the ADBV, which was stamped "Parker".

Purolator made, mostly seen with thread end bypass. Exactly the same as Classic? As far as efficiency, difficult to say for sure as the OEM manufacturers give little info about that. Mopar thread end vs dome end for Classic is not the same. Looks well made though.

Check this thread out for more info with pics.

Great links, guys.

But what's the deal with the string? (My MO-090 was sans string)

They have be whored around a bunch and seem to change at will. You may never know for sure unless you inspect each one.

Some were black painted Orange Cans!!!
