Premium Guard Filter Size Differences

[KCJeep]

I’ve mentioned this in a couple of threads but thought I’d clarify it for any interested or who could benefit.

Common knowledge here that a 3600 series equivalent is a good upsize for a 3614 size filter if you have the room. But the excellent Premium Guard 3600 series made filters come in two different sizes.

The 3614 filters are generally 3.3/3.4 ok inches tall regardless of make. Most 3600 series are about 4.75 inches tall. The PG 3600 equivalents in the Premium Guard and EcoGard 195 lines are about 4 inches tall. I find this a handy size, just enough to get those last 4 ounces in the Mustang for an even 6 qts or double the size on my mower and still have clearance. Other PG made 3600 series (like a Carquest Premium) are the full 4.75 inches.

A couple pictures below for visual reference. A Carquest Premium 3614 equivalent, a EcoGard 195 and a standard Fram 3600.

What's the size of the Carqest Premium for the 3600 fitment, if they have one. Or do they spec their 3614 equivalent for both fitments?

I’ve not handled one but from the site it’s 4.75 like the Fram and most others. Microgard Select is 4.75 as well as far as I know.

First sentence sounded like you were going to send a PG to @Zee09 for a C&P.
Regardless, good information on three very popular filter sizes.

Do it, you be contributing to the cause at BITOG lol. Here I'll share what I have on hand.

Also the FS/XG3600 is actually 4.92 inches tall or roughly 5 inches. The FE3600 and FD3600 is shorter around 4.5" inches.
The PBL20195 and MSL51516 are 4.75" inches tall. The LF16011 is 3.5" inches tall and the P551132 is about 3.25" inches tall.
Toyota YZZD3 and STP S3600XL are 4" inches even.
I have a spare FS8A for a truck that is about 5-1/8" tall and a P502503 that is about 7 inches tall.

It’s enough that I can throw away the empty bottle instead of having it sitting in the garage 1/8th full.

Wouldn’t be so bad if it was 7/8ths empty.

No pristine PG sacrificing for him! Maybe one of my wavy Frams.
