Mopar doesn't just relabel other brand filters....they build them to
properly work with the vehicle (as in better anti-drainback valves for one
example).
You wouldn't believe how many 4.7/5.7L's come in with "ticking" complaints
on morning startup - most all of them use generic "quick lube" filters. A
simple oil filter can make a big difference.

Hmmm. I have noticed lifter noise myself,probably from
having used a Fram filter. I do remember only
Mopar-brand filters being recommended on my 87 LeBaron
turbo,because of the check valve.
Thanx!
