What type of oil filter do you use for 2007 jeep commander besides mopar?

went to walmart and bought an oilfilter for 07 jeep commander. did not fit in the suv. dealer said it only uses mopar. i know they r lying. what filter do u use? where should i buy it? i live in edmonton canada|||Brand doesn't really matter all that much, it's more about marketing than quality, especially if you are keeping up on regular maintenance. I use Fram parts because they are readily available. Your Jeep can use a couple of different filters (depends on the engine you have). 6 cyl engine is a PH3600 (Fram part #), 8 cyl engine is a PH16. A couple things, about not being able to use the filter you bought... first, what didnt work? length or width of filter? or just couldn't get it to spin on? if it was a size issue, then maybe you purchased the wrong filter, or a simpler way to fix this is use the PH3614 it is the same filter, only smaller (will work on either engine)will also hold a little less oil. If you were unable to get it to spin on, then you probably did not have the correct angle (this applies to the 6 cyl more, but could still be the problem on either).|||Maybe not car manufactures are getting pretty clever in getting you to come to them for simple parts and maintenance. Look in the bottom of your old filter after you finally get your new flter and look for a little valve in there. That valve you possibally have in your old one is there to keep your oil up in the engine till the next time you start it. EVEN if you find a fram or even cheaper oil filter if may not have that valve in it.|||try fram and k%26amp;n.they are the best filters.
