Detailed Description

Protec PXL57899 is an engine oil filter for drivers who follow standard maintenance intervals and need consistent filtration in city and highway use. Its enhanced cellulose media, closed top design, and 3.74-inch height support reliable oil flow and filtration performance, while the 275 burst pressure rating and metal end caps add structural strength. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. It is a direct-fit oil filter for many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram applications, including Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Ram 1500 models. The Protec PXL57899 also appears in interchange listings such as PH820XL and M1-210A for related applications.

What It Helps Address

• Engine oil contamination from everyday driving
• Reduced filtration performance during normal service intervals
• Oil drain-back after engine shutdown
• Seal leakage at the filter gasket
• Inconsistent oil flow through a worn or overloaded filter

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size M22x1.5, filter height, and sealing surface before installation. Replace the filter at the same interval as the oil change, and pre-lube the gasket before tightening to the manufacturer’s recommended specification. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for your Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or Ram 1500 application before service.

Quality Assurance

Protec builds this filter with enhanced cellulose media, metal end caps, and an anti-drain back valve to support stable filtration and sealing in normal-duty service. It is engineered for OE-style maintenance intervals and everyday driving conditions.
