Just to give you some peace of mind the owners manual is what matters as far as following required maintenance while you’re under warranty. Dealers will often upsell or do the bare minimum or “require” service items that aren't actually “required” at all. Ultimately it’s Jeep who actually warranties the vehicle… not the dealer.
The owners manual says “Recommend Mopar oil filter or equivalent” there’s zero “requirement” to use the M0-339. You obviously can and it’s not a big deal if you do, but there’s other options that are better filters. Some dealers will just follow the service manual and another dealer will use other available Mopar options for filters if you ask.
You can always just do it yourself as long as you’re using an equivalent product. Service departments are all franchises just like the sales side. I often trust none of them. Most of them simply care about their bottom line which means they do what is the most efficient for time and cost effective for them… not what is necessarily best for your vehicle.
Just some food for thought using a different filter doesn’t void your warranty. Mopar doesn’t actually make any filters, another vendor manufactures them for them and slaps Mopar on the filter.
