I love my Baxter. In my JKU it ended up like yours, but my air valve is pointing towards the alternator a bit. I used the New FRAM FE10575! I’m a Amsoil user, and I’d never use a FRAM filter in a million years. But I found recently that the new FE series filters are a copy of the Amsoil oil filter. And even assembled in the same factory, with just an outside cosmetic difference. You can find those videos also here on You Tube. But whatever filter you choose. I feel the Baxter unit is a great investment to the life of the little 3.6. Great video

I had no clearance issues with any hoses on my Grand Cherokee or the Engine cover , I used Mobil 1 M1-212A , M1-113A if want a shorter one, and if you want to use a Mopar Filter I also use Genuine Mopar Engine Oil Filter 68466307AB , it has the same flow rate and 22PSI Bypass setting but is 1/2” taller. I have had a slight issue with the filters leaking after hand tightening, they would seep a little after the engine oil gets hot, I would have to give it a 1/8 turn then to make it good not sure if anyone else has had this problem.
