Oil filter
 

I know this has been covered but I can't find it......so can someone tell me what number oil filter (like a PH8A for 302 Ford) I need for my 2011 Wrangler Unlimited 3.8 Liter? Every place I have been has no info except for 2010 JKU. I don't want to go to the stealership for a OEM filter. Also feel free to give advice as to what brand filter to run too so I won't have drain back and avoid dry starts. Oil will be 5W20 Mobil One and I will be changing factory oil at 3000 miles. Thanks in advance for any help....

The 2011 has the same 3.8 engine as the 2007-2010 models, so the filter should be the same.

Yup. Personally, I use a Wix 51516 extended size oil filter for additional filtration. Here's a list of standard and extended length filters for our JKs:

Oil Filters
Regular Length
Mobil 1 - M1-102
K&N - HP1002
Pure One - PL10241
Amsoil - EAO57
Wix - 51348
AC Delco - PF53
Motorcraft - FL793
Fram - PH3614
Purolator - L10241
Napa - 1348

Extended Length
Mobil 1 - M1-209
K&N - HP2009
Pure One - PL20195
Amsoil - EAO34
Wix - 51516
AC Delco - PF56
Motorcraft - FL400
Fram - PH3600
Purolator - L20195
Napa - 1516

Check, the owners manual, cd, download, what ever you got with your 2011 JK.

Cool list this is going in my tool box.:clap:

Thanks for the list.......:-)

If you can't find the JK in the book, you could always just look up the Town and Country minivan:rotflmao2::rotflmao2:

handy list...what it tells me is that the extended length filter is the same as the 3.7 V6 in my Ram 1500ST pickup...now I can stock ONE less filter...

Thanks for the list. I glanced at it and thought, hey, that looks familiar... I double-checked and the standard length filters are the same ones that fit my BMW motorcycle. :what?:

Well not really...the real BMW filters flow the OTHER way.
