ph8A, FL-1A users

The large filter didn't cause the timing chain to rattle on cold start?

Why would it?

shouldn’t affect it if the ADBV is functioning properly.

I use OG FS8a/XG8a’s on my vehicles for transmission filters.

Good idea sir.

We use the FL1A on our 1994 Ford Econoline. I have a few PH8A on standby as well that were on sale.

Never, not once in 235k miles.

I don't drive the 99 Caravan as much as I used to. Perhaps 3,000/yr now. The XG8a on it is about 4.3 years /16,000 miles old. I still have another old XG8a to put on it next fall. Should last until the Dodge turns to dust.

I don't have enough height, so I use a XG16 for tranny filter.

i had initially used an XG16 sized filter on the accords but after further evaluation i had room for XG8a’s. my truck has infinite room and i had been running a very large filter meant for a hydraulic system but lacked an ADBV and the efficiency of the XG8a.

The lady of mine is used to my oil and filter stash and “porch surprises”.

 

[vwmaniaman]

I use those on 3 trucks and have for years.

FYI, here's a cause.
this has never happen to my Toy 07 1GRFE.

I have a 1977 F250 super cab with a 460, as well as a ‘74 Lincoln Mark IV, which I’ll be selling soon. I also had a ‘79 Bronco (400) and an ‘84 F-150 (302). I also sometimes used that size filter on the 2004 Ram 1500 (4.7) that I had. I have a bunch of Champion (the spark plug company) filters I bought for $1 each, as well as two swap-meet Baldwins bought for $1. I also have three Frams from the early 90’s that belonged to my grandfather. Then there’s my stash of the AutoXtra filters made by Wix around 2010. Never had a problem with any of them, or the genuine Motorcrafts I’ve used in the past, but I’m on the fence about using the 35-year-old Frams.

My '76 E-100 (300cid 6) used one as did Dear Old Dad's '66 Oldsmobile 425.

I stumbled upon a Hastings 115A (IIRC) for '77 Celica (22R). I believe it's the same size.
The nut on the Hastings can -and my observation of clearer oil- made me a convert.

Oil filters have sure gotten smaller with time (ha-ha).

My dad would have had that size used on his ‘67 289 Mustang; but that was over 50 years ago!
