The OEM filter has been rigorously tested and validated to ensure it provides a specific level of performance and protection for the overall engine system. Choosing to use a non-genuine filter can lead to decreased levels of protection against wear or higher levels of flow-restriction, contributing to parasitic loss of engine performance and fuel economy.

Mopar’s own service guidance pegs the average interval at about 5,000 miles, and never beyond 10,000 miles/12 months on 3.6 L or 5.7 L engines; always follow the owner’s‑manual schedule for your model.

OEM filters use vehicle‑specific media, bypass‑valves and anti‑drainback seals that keep oil pressure, flow and filtration exactly within factory tolerances, protecting powertrain performance and fuel economy.

Previous generation Ram trucks with the 6.7L Cummins®Turbo Diesel I6 engine utilized a metal spin-on oil filter, but the 2025 models will now be equipped with a cartridge-style oil filter element. The change to an oil filter housing with serviceable filter cartridges reduces environmental waste and lends to a cleaner service event with the top-load cartridge.
