Link not working

Safari won't let me open your link... is it supposed to be about the SRT Filter? Part number appears to be for the run of the mill standard Mopar filter.
Okay, I just picked up my 392 and found that the filter on it is smaller than previous vehicles I've owned with 392s which use the one that is the subject of this string. I need to do more research on how the change to the smaller filter came about and if it is unique to this vehicle.
I've been curious about this engine taking high capacity oil filters. For example, I use the Mobil 1 M1-301 filter on my 2003 Jeep Rubicon, which is almost twice as big as the original for this year and model. It fits and seals great! More capacity equals more filtering media.
Agree, bigger is better but the filers bypass valve spring is also important. Sould the bypass valve allow oil to flow back directly into the engine oil system bypassing the filter medium at a low pressure then what good is the filter.
That's a great point!
The question is... what about clearance with the nearby suspension parts. I suspect that Jeep employed a smaller filter and an adapter to angle the filter away from nearby suspension parts. How vulnerable will a larger filter be to damage from those same suspension items?I used Mopar Oil Filter 5038041AA with my 392. It is larger than the regular black filter that came with the jeep.
As the first 3 oil changes is free with the Wave Program, the dealership charged $4 more to use this filter vs the same black filter the Jeep originally came with. I did have to bring it to their attention though, that I wanted the SRT filter. Their parts guy validated that this filter would work.
You can buy it from Amazon.

Just to be clear, it is recommended to use the Pennzoil 0W-40; however, it is the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-40 that is to be used.
Once I've used up my remaining free oil changes I'll be changing the oil myself (using these items) when I'm allowed to have my man cave time
I've had my larger filter on for a month now with around 800 miles on it. I've had no issues with clearance [or leaks]. I do not know if there's an angle adapter that came stock with the vehicle, if it was there it had no negative impact with regards to the larger oil filter. I watched the dealership install my filter (and perform their inspection- I was under the lifted vehicle with them) and at no time was there a concern about an angle adapter nor improper filter fitment. The old [smaller] filter came off, the new [larger] filter went on.The question is... what about clearance with the nearby suspension parts.

2,500 miles and no oil drop.
I haven't noticed any oil burning...
