Or, mobil1 M-204, or FRAM 1008(if you are cheap) If you want to use a
slightly larger filter, you can use the Mobil1 M104.

The "090" is the standard Mopar filter for 80% of the engines they produce.
The "090" are the last digits in the part number.

Not sure what Bernd is referring to, but yeah Barry, There are so many
things the same filter will fit. The common Chrysler filter is I use a WIX
51085 (NAPA Gold 1085). That will fit a bazillion things...
http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/PartApplications.asp?Part=51085
The filter used by Chrysler prior to the 51085 was the 51068. Its the same
filter - just longer.
http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/PartApplications.asp?Part=51068
I use the NAPA Gold 1068 on the Ram, a 1085 on Christine's 318. (1068 would
hit the frame - no room) and the 1085 on my Neon. The neon can also use the
1068, but the length on that one hangs down past the oil pan too much for my
comfort.
The Neon normally uses a 1348.
http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/PartApplications.asp?Part=51348
Using the 1085 on the Neon gives me a half quart more oil capacity. A full 5
qts vs 4 1/2. The premag V6 in Christine also called for a 1348, but I had
been running 1085s on that for a long time. If I could get over my fear of
having the bottom of the oil filter whacked on the Neon I could use 1 filter
for everything I own. Except the Explorer - which uses a 1372 with metric
threads.
What I did notice, and I found weird - was that the 3.7L V6 in the Dakota,
supposed to be a 4.7L minus 2 slugs right? Well why does the Dak
3.7V6 use a 5-1516 filter? Instead of the same 5-1085??
I see the thread is the same - 3/4-16 - but the gasket diameters are
slightly different...
