Good afternoon folks. Was wondering how many folks here use the PH 8A or MC FL-1A variant or even the L-30001 variant filter. I’m gonna toss a OG ULTRA XG-8A on Dakota real soon.

I will stick one on my jeep when I find one on sale. I bought a bunch of PH 3569's @ Advanced auto and will run those as they are just a HD version of the ph8a.
What is OF? Original Fail?
Ha ha ha, I edited the original post. I meant “OG” for ULTRA oil filters.Oil Filter?
Can't say I've used any of these Adam
I've been using them, PH8A, and still do for 49 years now. In fact 49 uninterrupted years.
That’s a long time.
I have used them all. Mostly PH8A and FL1A. I have a couple FL1A's left and that will be the end of them.They are over priced now and I don't feel theyare worth it. I have many PH8's on hand and I will be using them for a while.
Goes back to my 66 Falcon 200 I6 which I got in late 1975 with over 100K miles on it. Soon to be 50 years.
occasional run the 8a size on the’97 Ram in place of the xg16 size various brands over the years.
I miss the Bosch Distance Plus, got a bunch on closeout from Walmart years ago. The truck seemed to like them best. No startup rattle or noise, filters were well constructed and always seemed to have caught a lot of debris. I should have grabbed more as they are long gone.

I wish I had a vehicle that will still fit one. I think it's been 25yrs now. My last one being my 1997 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L.
Off and on since 2002 when I got my 1991 Dakota with the K-car 2.5. Man that filter looked good on that engine! Two F150 300-6s, and now a F150 351W.
I'm buying whatever Rockauto has for $1.37 if they won't add weight and shipping expense. Walmart wanted $11 for a genuine Motorcraft; I wasn't on board.

I have 2 PRIME GUARD POF-1A’s from Rural King. $11 for a tear o later I ain’t buying.
I currently have a FRAM Titanium FS8A on my ‘95 F-150 with the 4.9L in-line 6 cylinder. With all the problems on the FRAM filters, next oil change I plan on using a Pentius UltraFlow Xtended Life oil filter, P/N PLXL-8A. I can get them on Amazon for around $10.

I used XG8A filters on my 2007 Toy 1GRFE from 2012 to 2024. Often doing xOCI up to 18k miles. No issues.
In 2024 switched to and I'm currently using for the first time a PBL30001. I switched because of the Fram wavey spring problem.
I've had a bypass filtration system on the vehicle since 2012 too.
My next filter may be a Fleetguard # LF3313 or LF3487.

Yes I did
Which one?
I just checked my oil filter stock and discovered I still have 1 OG XG8A, date code A23461, wire backed 
The large filter didn't cause the timing chain to rattle on cold start?
