PF53 Oversized Equivalent Oil Filter

[Rob Taggs]

My 1996 Dodge Neon 2.0 Liter engine takes a PF53 AC DELCO oil filter. Does anyone know the oversized equivalent from either ac delco or another oil filter maker?

You can use a PH16 size filter. The FL1A size will sit a little below the pan and be exposed. I think that this will be about 3x as big as the 3614 size filter ..or at least 2x.

This is the size that we use on my son's 96 NEON (ST16).

In Wix it appears to puke out two different PH16 equivalents

The second filter is the Wix equivalent of a PF13 ..which is what AC Delco says is what a PH16 is

In FRAM numbers (I hate to use their numbers, but they are a great starting point for cross-reffing filters), the PF53 is a PH3614. The big brother of this filter is the PH3600 (longer version of the PH3614/PF53). I've been using them in my PF53 applications with good results.

AC DELCO PF53 (PH3614/ST3614/Wix 51348/PL10241) oversize equivalents:

FRAM PH3600
Supertech ST3600

You'll be adding about an inch in height with all other dimensions staying the same.

also both of my brother's Mustang GT's ('98&'05), My Uncle's '06 Lincoln Zephyr, and both my sister's Vans ('03 windstar, and '08 Grand Caravan)...

double Huh....

You realize you this thread was over 6 years old.

[earlyre]

nope, just ran across it using the search feature(instead of starting a new one to ask a question)


unless folks would rather I just start a whole new thread every time i have a question...

and btw, what difference does it make how old the thread is?

 

[ZeeOSix]

So what was the question again?
