I wonder if the Fram PH8A is more efficient than other brands? Would love to see a comparison!

22

I think it depends on the specific vehicle and usage. Some people swear by it, while others prefer higher-end options.

23

I’ve used Fram filters for years. The PH8A is easy to install, but I’ve had a few leaks with older models. Anyone else experienced that?

24

Funny you mention leaks! I had a leak once, but I think it was my fault for not tightening it enough.

Fram PH8A? Sounds like a fancy drink! Just kidding; it’s actually been great for my SUV. No issues and feels like a solid choice.

Haha, love that! But seriously, it’s nice to see a filter that gets such good reviews. Definitely sticking with it.

27

The PH8A has been great for my car! It holds up well during long trips and the engine feels more responsive.

28

I’m researching the Fram PH8A oil filter compatibility too! I’ve found it fits many Ford models, especially the F-series. Anyone know if it works with any other makers?

29

It’s indeed compatible with a range of older Mustangs as well! I’ve had success with the 5.0L engines. Just check your specific year and model!

Remember to use the right tools when installing the Fram PH8A. A good oil filter wrench can save you a lot of hassle! What brands do you recommend?

31

So true! I use the Lisle 63600—works like a charm. It’s adjustable and fits most filters.

32

I often struggle with getting the old filter off in tight spaces. Any tips for that?

33

Try using a screw driver to puncture the filter. It gives you leverage, but be careful not to mess up the surrounding parts!

34

I’ve heard stories about oil spilling everywhere during changes. What’s the best way to avoid a mess when removing the filter?

35

I’ve found using a plastic bag around the filter as you unscrew it really helps contain spills!

36

Is it necessary to pre-fill the oil filter with new oil before installation? I’ve heard mixed opinions on this.

37

It’s a good practice to pre-fill! It helps the engine get oil quicker after startup, especially in cold weather.

38

Do you guys think the Fram PH8A is overhyped? I feel like there are better options out there.

39

I wouldn’t say it’s overhyped. It’s dependable for many, just make sure you’re getting the right one for your vehicle!
