I can't remember if my old 79 toyota corolla took a fram ph8 or a ph16.... I know I used which ever one was larger as it fit the 1966 ford f-250 as well. But I will say this... I used castrol 20/50 regular oil for roughly 200,000 miles of my car's lifespan, out of a total of 360,000 miles. The car is still operational, though at this point could use either a valve adjustment or grind. It's not mine anymore so. I could have done better on my oil changes though, 3000-4000 was my average chainge. I'm willing to believe that switching to synth oil for my current nissan may be better, but i'm set in my ways and i'm a cheep bastard. I'll probally switch to a nissan filter if I can find them localy cheeply. It's been on the non-synth castrol for 50,000 miles of it's life, and i'm just going to stick to it. It works and has proven it self to me in the past. \ "John D." <jcdech (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:e821bab6.0308061120.536df2b0 (AT) posting (DOT) google.com... I think it comes back to this point, and as other people have already said: If you do REGULAR oil changes on your car, don't abuse it and drive "normally," ANY filter (except REAL crap) will do the job. My 1973 Datsun 1200 has used "crap Frams," specifically the Fram PH8A -- due to my "ignorance" -- for the last 20 years or so. It's still running. It will stay on Dino oil (First Penzoil, then Castrol) due to its age, etc., and I'll probably continue using the Fram PH8A. |
