One 2.4L engine (DOHC) manufactured by Daimlerchrysler is used in the Sebring Convertible, Sebring Sedan and Stratus Sedan. The oil filter used for
this engine is p/n 04105409.
The second 2.4L engine (SOHC) is manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC). This engine is used in the Sebring Coupe and Stratus

CAUTION:
The MMC oil filter could be incorrectly installed on a DaimlerChrysler built 2.4L engine. Use of the MMC oil filter on a DaimlerChrysler built 2.4L
engine will result in engine damage due to oil loss.
