"...the Mopar Severe Duty filter is now made by Fram, rather than by
Wix. There was also a note on that page that Pennzoil filters may be
Frams in yellow cans. It may be safest to stick to Wix, which
manufactures their own filters, or Mobil 1 filters, which again are made
by Mobil, rather than buying from a company (such as Chrysler!) that
sticks their own name onto someone else's filter, and may change
suppliers at any time.

At this time there is mounting evidence, based on comparisons by several
people in both the US and Canada, that the Mopar Severe Duty filter -
and other Mopar filters - are made by Fram and are not of high quality."

Last I knew it was Valvoline.
MoPar filters are Fram-avoid at all costs.
