Default 3.6 Oil filters -cheap!!

So...I picked up my new 2012 Wrangler last week. I was curious what a DIY oil change would involve. I'm still undecided/curious about the oil type, whether it should be 5w30 or 5w20, but I did find the oil filters (Purolator L36135) on Amazon Prime for $4.24 each.

Purolator L36135 Classic Oil Filter : Amazon.com : Automotive

This qualifies as the cheapest oil filter I've ever seen, between my last 3 vehicles ('09 Wrangler X 3.8, 2011 Camaro SS, and a 2009 Chevy Colorado w/ the 3.7)

Default Factory Oil Filters

Looks to be a good price for Purolators - I've heard good things.

Just scored 16 pack of Mopar MO-744s - price $ 3.56 but if you add the shipping they were $ 5.75

******

My next item will be Air filters - (i.e NAPA 9018 or WIX 49018).
Price per unit - $ 5.74

******

I just go to my stealership for the Mopar ones. $5, and change with tax. Brown Daub in Easton, PA. I wouldn't use their service department, but their parts are normally cheaper than the auto parts store.

In my never humble opinion, oil and filters should never be something you do on the lowest cost. Get the best of oil and filters for your Jeep.
I use Royal Purple oil and filter.
