I'm having trouble locating the mopar 53020311 oil filter that is rec. by chrysler in my owners manual.No one in my home area of toledo,ohio caries it any more.

What is it going on ? Give us some more info and maybe someone here can help track down what you need . . .

It would be nice to know a little more information, like engine size and use.

Right of the top, that is the Chrysler/MOPAR severe use filter. It can be used on the slant 6, V8, and the V10. Direct replacements for this filter include: Hastings LF477, Baldwin B1429, AC Delco PF2136, Fram PH7226, Purolator L34875.

The Fram is a well known name, however Purolator tends to be better quality. I think the best one of these would be the Hastings.

You may want to read your other posts before writing a new one. I am assuming the filter is for the same vehicle you asked about in your previous question (v10 ram?) that got answered thoroughly.

I would stay away from the FRAM and MOPAR filters. They are the same filter and a very poor ones at that. check out http://minimopar.simplenet.com/oilfilters.html
and http://minimopar.simplenet.com/oilfilterstudy.html

After reading that you can see how most are made and make a good choice on what brand to use. Oil filters are one of the few times that picking Mopar is the wrong thing to pick.
