I think the part number changed. The OEM filter was a different number from the one I just bought at the dealer. They said that's common for the part number to be different from the original. I threw out the box, so I don't know the new part number. It's on the car already.

I had my first oil change at 1300 after breaking in period.
Im running M 1 which is recommended , but im going to buy it on my own then have the dealer charge me for it . I know that Mobul 1 goes for around between $4-5 . While the dealer charge me $ 9.00 a quart . Unless they are using a synthetic that was made specially for Mitsu by Mobil 1 i don't see why so much...
Any thoughts on this , besides the fact that they are charging a bit to much for mobil 1 Synthetic.

There are not special "break-in" additives in the oil from the factory either.
