Hi guys. Just wanted to let you euro folks know that the Mahle OC247 filter is useable on the KJs too. Going to put it in in 4000kms. 
Mahle filter is 11,5 cm long. 
Mopar filter is 12cm long. 
Mopar filter (right side) has holes further to the rim of the filter, Mahle (left side) has holes closer to the center.

Price was about €16. It is a little more expensive than the MOPAR one, but I have heard good things about Mahle. The US section does have plenty of options other than the MOPAR one, but I thought we could do with one too since shipping from the US is so expensive. |

Anyway - here in Finland we a this ueber great stealer - they offer you an original oilfilter with super price. O N L Y 36€ 
So guys - take it easy and behave there as you all queue to order

The Mahle one is available in europe and doesn't cost shipping. That's why I posted this one. For instance the americans use a NAPA replacement filter or AMSOIL filter. Try and get those shipped from the US and you need to order at least 10 before it is even reasonable to do. If you don't like MOPAR, just try out the Mahle as I suggested, instead of going abroad and getting the NAPA or AMSOIL ones. |

No don't forget guys, Uffe pays 25% tax on that part. So for me it might be 12€. |

VAT is mainly 22% here in Finland....at least in auto parts it is...there´s only few trades with less tax ( restaurants, I think, and barbershops & some other trades pay only 8 or 12 % ) can´t remember exactly...
