[Malo83]

No idea, back in the stone age.

From Rock Auto ?

 

[jkasch]

Would have been in 1968 for a ‘65 Corvair. AC Delco, maybe?

 

[ZeeOSix]

Probably an orange Fram back in 1974 for my first car (1965 Ford Galaxy 500 with a 289 V8).

 

[JohnnyJohnson]

Back in 1962 for my 49 Chevy I can't even remember who made it.

 

[MetalSlug]

mitsubishi eclipe oil filter

 

[eljefino]

An STP from WM for my 1989 Mazda 323. $1.97, champ labs made, recommended by the "minimopar filter cut up study" circa 1999.

 

[walterjay]

A $.99 cent Western Auto filter for my 65 Mustang. Later when I changed the oil and filter out there were bits of filter paper or cardboard coming out. I got exactly what I paid for.

 

[FordMan59]

Probably a Fram for my 1977 Buick Regal.

 

[Rhymingmechanic]

Fram PH25 orange can for a 1970 Pontiac, in either 1988 or 1989. That was before I saw the cut-open display at the Carquest counter.

 

[Skeet6]

Orange Fram for my 1980 Mercury Bobcat.

Fram orange can PH8A I believe

 

[PimTac]

It was a Fram and I got it along with the oil at Lincoln Auto Parts in Tacoma.

...summer '99? one of the BRAND NEW purolator Pure 1's like this (likely not this number, this is just a pic I found on the web)

for my '87 Olds 98 (pre3800 branding 3.8l V6) along with PYB 10w30

weirdly (at least to me) the drain plug on that pan pointed forward. made the OC pretty easy. didn't really need to crawl under it

 

[haggler]

M1-108

 

[bbhero]

Fram orange back in the mid 1970's. Most likely a PH8A for a Ford.

I believe mine was a Fram orange too in 2000... For my Ford Probe.

First synthetic... Havoline for $2.99 a quart.

Man.... I remember these filters.. darn the box and that filter looked really good. I got some of these too.

 

[Snagglefoot]

Fram PH 46 for a 1974 Datsun B-210 with a 1288 cc four cylinder engine with 75 HP. Really liked that car.

 

[JC1]

I think the first filter I bought was a Toyota for my 1983 Toyota Tercel.

 

[BlueOvalFitter]

As a sophomore in high school I had a 69 F100 Ranger, 390. An FL-1A.
