    Agreed! I run a NAPA gold 1516 or 1348 on my 12 4.0 for 2 OCI's with Pennzoil PP. The 1516 is slightly (very) larger than the OEM.

    Ya this is a pretty old post, however probably just as prevalent now as then. my comment is "how does one know when they are using a bad filter?, is there a way to tell? I am a Fram guy, used them and put hundreds of thousands of miles on my cars, (mostly Honda) my highest on one being 300k, I know people who have put similar miles using different filters, I am of the opinion that if it fits your vehicle, use it.

    OMG, minus well also stick with OEM washer fluid, OEM motor oil, and OEM tires...

    Generally, larger is better... these larger oil filters fit and I've tried them all: Mobil M1-209, Royal Purple 20-400, PurolatorOne/PureOne
    $10 PL20195 ONE Advanced Engine Protection Spin On Oil Filter Blue
    PL20195 (blue & gold),
    $15 Wix 51516XP XP Oil Filter
    Wix 51516XP, Bosch D3422, and Fram Ultra
    $9 XG3600 with SureGrip (Pack of 1)
    XG3600.

    I agree with previous statements on BTOG and others: oil filters are largely overrated; it's the quality of motor oil that matters the most for engine longevity. Full synthetic is the way to go; good for your truck and good for the environment.

    95 Ford Taurus V6 is what you need. About a inch taller than the D3. Ran those on my 3.4L. Once I'm out of the D3's I may go with those.

    so, people whine and bitch if a new thread is started, and people bitch if an old thread is revived to avoid a new thread.

    There should really be a sticky about what topics can't be discussed any more

    Yep. I do not go through pages of Google search material to find the oldest posts. I do not have the time.

    I am honored Google listed this thread first and gave me the ability to help others find regular to tall oil filter stock numbers.

    I could have not posted this info..but I care, so I did. Besides, I have a chance to meet y'all and share. I love the Gene Wilder Frankenstein, It's alive! picture. It is funny. I was once a humbled guru for a laundry front load washer forum. I enjoyed everyone very much and I was involved, several times a day, with my humbled help ..and wanting to simply make life easier... if not for just one person.
    Thank you for your time so so much.

    Thanks for refreshing this. I'm running the dinky filter. It's not a satisfying filter (but it's not a Fram. :eek: )
    Amazon here I come.

    From some research I had done on using larger oil filters, just make sure the new filter meets OEM by-pass setting of 8-11 PSI.

    So how did you find out OEM is 8-11 PSI? I've seen the concern on bypass pressure for swapping filters but not where to find that info.
