4) MANN "metal free" filter HU718/5x - anyone know what the "x" means.
5) Had to be careful to get the four different sized O rings on the oil filter cap thingie. Had one medium sized O ring left over.

Interesting pricing (Amazon)
Mopar 0510 2905AB, Engine Oil Filter
by Mopar
Price: $27.95

Mann-Filter HU 718/5 X Metal-Free Oil Filter
by Mann Filter
Price: $10.69

Chrysler installed (old) filter was stamped MANN HU 718/5 (no x) & 05102905AB

Just some notes.
5x = 5 O-rings?
I think the Mopar filter is made by Mann, price difference is extra Chrysler profit
