That's gotta be the biggest crock of sh-t i've ever heard. They can't do that
no matter what they think. As long as the oil is of the approved type, it's
not a problem.
I remember my dealer telling me that I would void the warranty if I didn't use
the Mopar Oil Filter...hehehehe....I told him that it's not even made by Mopar
so don't tell me this crap. I run Wix or Mobil-1 Oil Filters...will never
change and haven't had any problems with the dealers on that.
