evos have higher oil pressure, oil squirters, faster running engine ect... where iam taking this is make sure the bypass valve on that dodge filter is not opening prematurely and causing the filter to go into bypass mode at the end not filtering your oil during bypass.
ive been through this road with many customers that are using the new FP oil turbo feed line that comes from the block instead of the head..
just an check

I run Amsoil filters and motor oil.
On just about every car forum I've ever been on, never once has anyone had anything negative to say about Amsoil's products other than the slightly higher cost.

I trust that after 20years of building turbo motors mitsubishi knew what they were doing when they designed the latest filter for the 4g63. I don't run higher than normal oil pressures so i always run the oem filter. Never had any issues, it is cheap, i don't see a reason to change.
I used to source the OEM Mitsu filters through my work (automotive shop). Back in late 08/early 09 they stopped selling the Black OEM Mitsu filter and replaced their stock with AC Denso filters, exact same size and shape of the OEM.
I noticed the OEM filter has the Denso brand imprinted on it. Is anyone aware if these 2 filters are in fact the same minus the fancy Mitsubishi diamond stamp?

So far, all of the aftermarket filters I've seen for our cars are taller and have a smaller diameter.
I just don't like the fact that with the taller filter you can look under the car and see it hanging down. I just hate to think of something striking it.

I think you mean "AC Delco" Denso is just Denso.

I just recently bought a Napa Gold filter (Wix filter) and so far, it's as short and stubby as my OEM one. I think I found my new dealer in filters.
I've noticed that too but I've also had a dealership give me a tall OEM filter instead of the short stubby one. After that, I never really went back to my local dealership and drove the extra 20 miles to get the good one.

I just bought a few OEM filters from the dealership. They were the short stubby ones. Question, is there any harm in running a OEM filter for say a year given the mileage is less than 3,000? I have a DD now so my Evo only see about 3,000-4,000 miles a year and basically only requires a oil change once a year. Is this bad on the filter?
