Greetings,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I was wondering if anyone has used the Pennzoil PZ-184 filters in their Pentastar. On my most recent oil change (2015 T&C), I was planning to use the PZ filter I had on hand, but decided to compare it to the Mopar filter I had just removed. I was surprised to find that the inlet diameter on the PZ was significantly smaller. than the Mopar. I then went to a store to take a look at a Fram and a Canadian Tire OE filter (most likely Wix). Both of those had a similar diameter inlet to the Mopar. I decided not to use the PZ filter, but thought I would ask the if anyone ran them on their engine and noticed elevated oil pressure or other issues. Im including a few pics I took to show the differences.
