Glad I caught this, I would not have known.

Now what socket does it take to remove it??
I read 24mm, then I read something else.

will a 24MM 1/2 drive socket work?

24 mm Socket Works

Yes for 24 mm Socket . Be careful of Aftermaket Filters . I am Using a Wix Oil Filter and "check engine light " came on. The Scanner says low oil pressure. Read another thread where a Bosch filter was used and oil pressure was 16psi compared to 30 psi with a Mopar Filter at Idle

I used a Fram on my caravan 3.6L this past oil change :4-dontknow: never had any issue so far, I change my oil every 4500 miles on wifes cars because she drives hard. and run synthetic after the 2nd oil change.

I love the oil filter cartridge location on the Pentastars, very easy, mindless and clean to change. Lot easier than my Ram HEMI.

Only using the MOPAR filters. bought 6 of them when one seller had them for $4.49 each.
