I always change my oil right at 3,000 even though I run mobil 1 so I guess it doesn't really matter what brand filter I use. But if the dealer filters help out ill just keep using them.

I have been using mostly mopar filters on my jk and have been very happy with them. There are a lot of dry start issues with the jk's and it seems people have the best luck with the mopar filters. The anti-drain back valves seems good. I too always change filters at 3k so I don't think any would be bad to use. I just drop by the dealer once a year or so and buy 4 filters and a few air filters. I don't think the prices are bad on them either.
I ran M1 in my jk until I lost the engine at 58k, I now run Castrol GTX. Trying to decide what to run in the hemi now. I have heard good things about Valvoline Durablend but its hard to find in my area it seems.
So are you saying the mopar dealer filter is bad? When I made that statement I was referring to mopar vs Mobil 1

I am yet to see any data showing any of the filters don't pick up particulates. From what I have seen they all filter at nearly the same levels. Some have more pleats which would mean they would last longer before clogging. Some have better anti-drain back valves. I haven't seen any data showing one doesn't "filter" as good as another. I ran cheap fram filters on my yj for nearly 200k miles when the jeep was totaled. I have been very happy with my mopar filter on my JK, I did have one mopar filter that had start up knock. I have used one wix and one mobil 1 and both had start up knock so I went back to mopar.
Oh hell no.. Lol I would never do that. Mopar or Mobil 1 extended life is all my XK will ever see
