Fram PH8A 2015 build [Cut open]

[Run]

The Fram PH8A. What was once the pinnacle of ugly filters is now looking much better. This filter has seen a short run of just under 2000 miles. The oil was a mixture of used old oils (5w30 to 15w40). This came off a 93 F250 with a 4.9L 6 banger. Date code is A51281. 36 pleats total. No rips or tears. Enjoy a fine orange can of delight.

Better than a Purolator

 

[Branson304]

Looks like it's good for 5,000-6,000 miles.

Used oil + Fram orange can = worst oil change ever!

 

[Run]

The truck has since been pulled from the road. It will be used only in the yard. The Fram has been replaced with a cheap Chinese filter. Accompanied by more used oil. The engine is toast no point in wasting good oil in it.

Not my favorite filter but they did seem to improve i would use an ultra if you can find one at a good price.

That's my used oil! Do you need some more any time soon?

I dont know much about old Fords, but I had no idea they used that engine in the 250's. I wouldnt mind getting an old straight 6'd Ford eventually.

The filter looks very good by the way.

Nice! I picked up on the improvement sometime in 2015, they also upgraded it's ugly sister the PH16.

Running one now in fact thanks you saved me the trouble of a cut and post. By far a much better looking PH8A than the days of yesteryear.

 

[SilverC6]

Looks like they have tripled their pleat count on this filter.

I had a 300 cu in straight six in a 2WD '76 F250. With mud chains, it would go just about anywhere. The straight six produced very usable torque. The engine used 1 qt per 900 miles new.

Run - thanks for the cut & post. Filter looks good to me.

Looks much better than the last ph8a I cut open a few years ago.

Not exactly frankenoil, I've given him used PYB, T6 and some other unused stuff I had laying around the shop.

Farmer a big thanks for the oil stash. I won't be needing anymore as the truck is now off the road.
