Detailed Description

PG6296EX is an extended-life cartridge oil filter engineered around common OE-style fitment dimensions and synthetic blend filter media. The 25 micron filtration rating supports removal of fine contaminants from engine oil, while the NBR gasket helps provide a secure seal at the housing interface. This part number is used across many late-model Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Volkswagen vehicles, including 2014-2026 Jeep Wrangler, 2014-2026 Ram 1500, and 2014-2023 Dodge Charger applications. PG6296EX also cross-references Premium Guard PG6296EXF and Wix WL10010 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Oil contamination from normal engine wear
• Reduced filtration performance during extended service intervals
• Seal leakage at the filter housing gasket
• Incorrect filter sizing for cartridge-style housings
• Routine maintenance on Jeep Wrangler, Ram 1500, and Dodge Charger engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the cartridge filter housing style and match the listed dimensions before installation. Confirm vehicle year, make, and model against the fitment data, especially for 2011-2013 applications that require an aftermarket aluminum housing. Replace the filter during each oil service and inspect the housing sealing surfaces for debris before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Premium Guard Extended Life filters are built to meet the dimensional and media requirements listed for this part number. Confirm fitment by application before purchase, including Chrysler Grand Caravan, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Ram ProMaster 1500 coverage where applicable.
