Up sizing to a PH8A or equivalent (very common and I have done it many times) will only boost oil capacity by about 8 oz ( 1/4 qt ) but the amount of additional media is substantial.
It was your original posts about the FL400s that convinced me to try them on my '99 TJ 4.0 instead of the costlier Mopar filter. This time around, I gave the Fram Ultra a try after reading so many rave reviews about those filters here on bitog...good to know that the XG8A can be used as well if I want additional media

On my 02 Wrangler i use the XG8A. I find it flows better (quicker oil presure at below zero temperatures) maybe the synthetic media or bypass valve 12 psi then MC-WIX-NAPA with cellulose media and I believe 12 psi bypass valve.
