Mopar/SRT have had their label oil filters for quite a while. The oil has been Pennzoil PUP. If Mopar has went to Mopar/SRT labeled oil, then that is new.

Do what you want, but the Pennzoil Ultra Premium is the only oil that I am aware of that FCA has tested to meet their MS-12633 standards. That doesn't mean it's any better, just that it is approved for warranty.

And why would you pay $10 for an FCA approved oil filter and then save a few bucks on unapproved oil?

Did you read those threads from Hellcat.org? This subject has been repeatedly beat to death over there.

According to Challengertalk, yes, it does meet the spec. Does it say so on the bottle?

One screen shot shows the FCA approval for the Valvoline. So, maybe so.

NAPA has the Pennzoil 0W-40 on sale this month for about $6 quart. Probably not in the store but they can get it in about 2 days.
