Any 0W-20 or 5W-20 full-synthetic would be fine.
Technically you could use mineral or blend with appropriate intervals, but they're uncommon at those weights so no real price saving.
I always get a 0W because we drive in the snow every year, and achieving 0W-20 typically requires higher-quality base stock than 5W-20, so good bet it's a 'better' oil.
There is a genuine Mopar filter, but I just grab whatever is on clearance and reasonable quality at Rockauto. You can often grab a box of say 6 or 8 or 10 'premium' after market at $3 or $4 each. I've probably got a lifetime stash in the shed now, haha.
If changing the oil doesn't sort the check engine light and MDS, my money would be on the engine oil pressure sensor, pretty common. Although MDS is disabled with any engine code, so wait 'till you've confirmed with the scanner.
