Looking for Compatibility Info on Fram PH8A Oil Filter

Hey everyone,

I’ve been doing some maintenance on my vehicle and I came across the Fram PH8A oil filter. I’m curious about which vehicles this filter is compatible with, as I want to make sure it’s the right fit before buying it.

Why This Filter?

I’ve heard good things about Fram filters when it comes to quality and performance, but my main concern is whether it will work with my car. There’s a bunch of different makes and models out there, and I want to avoid any issues during my next oil change.

What I Know So Far

From what I’ve gathered, the PH8A is commonly used in:

  • Ford vehicles (like various F-Series and some old Mustangs)
  • A few Chrysler models
  • Some Chevrolet engines

But I’m not entirely sure if it fits my vehicle. How can I tell if this filter is suitable for a specific model? Are there any specific vehicles that you all have used this filter on?

Questions:

  • Can anyone confirm if the Fram PH8A works on their vehicles?
  • Where do you usually look for this type of compatibility information?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

I’ve been using the Fram PH8A oil filter for my 1998 Ford Mustang. It’s a perfect fit! It’s compatible with a lot of older Fords too. Anyone else had success with it?

That’s awesome! The Fram PH8A also fits various older Chrysler models, like the 300 and some Darts. After switching, I’ve noticed a smoother engine.

Can anyone confirm if the PH8A fits any Toyota models? I’ve been looking for a good filter for my 2005 Camry.

It’s not typically compatible with Toyotas. Many Camry owners prefer the OEM filters instead for better performance.

I’ve had great experiences with the PH8A on my classic Chevys! It’s a versatile filter that fits many GM vehicles from the 70s and 80s too.

Good to hear, Jennifer! Just be careful with those older cars. What other filters have you tried? Sometimes it feels like a gamble.

I use the Fram PH8A on my 2007 Dodge Charger. It’s been reliable for me, but I know some people have differing opinions on Fram quality.

What about performance? Anyone measured anything before and after using the PH8A? I’m curious about the differences!

11

I haven’t measured it, but my engine sounds way happier post-change! Definitely noticeable after switching from a cheaper brand.

12

So, if I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I’m good with this filter? I want to avoid any mismatch.

13

Yes, the PH8A is compatible with your Jeep! It fits many Jeep models from that era. You should be just fine.

14

Just a heads-up! Double check your manual too. There’s always a chance of different fittings based on the engine type.

I’ve been using the Fram PH8A in my Chevy Silverado for over a year now. The oil stays clean longer compared to other filters I’ve tried. Highly recommend it!

That’s great to hear! I’ve also had good luck with the PH8A on my Ford F150. No issues so far, and the filtration seems solid.

I used the PH8A for a while, but I noticed my oil pressure was lower than expected. Has anyone else had this issue?

18

I haven’t had any pressure issues, but I switched to the PH16 after a friend’s suggestion. Better fit for my vehicle!
