fram filters
DO NOT USE A FRAM FILTER PERIOD !!!!! they are crap! almost nothing inside of them and i've seen more than one occasion of an engine losing oil pressure due to a faulty fram filter. also the PH8A is too big, it will not fit the 3.8 , i dont know what the correct fram would be because like i said , DO NOT USE A FRAM FILTER PERIOD!!! WIX or NAPA (same as Wix) are the best in my opinion, i've seen quite a few filters cut open including Motorcraft and Purolator, and WIX has the most filter media and metal endcaps (not cardboard like fram) and a coil pressure spring, not just a piece of rusty tin..... the NAPA part number is 1516 and the Wix number is 51516.
