I have the 1.4 turbo and wondering about what brand oil people are using for the synthetic 5W-40 and also oil filter. Concerning the filter is it screw on or canister?

Hi Larry. I use Amsoil Oil and Filters in all my vehicles. (Dart, 5.7L Hemi Car, 6.1L Hemi and 5.7L Hemi Truck.) I've had oil analysis done through BlackStoneLabs and am very happy with the results. For me, Amsoil makes the best oil and filters.
According to BobIstheOilGuy.com data (you can check out yourself and form your own opinion) I find that Mobil 1, Amsoil and Royal Purple are all VERY excellent choices. I have to agree with the first reply you got, that eBay or Amazon is a great place to look for the Wix filters. I got a better deal by buying 6 at once.
Oil is like religion, so I'm sure people will chime in with what oil-kool-aid they drink, but I tried to base my opinion on what I could find out about all the different oils and the data shows those three as being the best in the business.
