Correct Oil Filter

[Theseeker152]

A PH8 is too long due to the Clearance between the Oil Cooler and Sway Bar, PH 16 gives the right clearance.
I at first tried the PH8 but it wouldn't fit, or even start to spin on. So, I assumed that's why they used the 16...I did too...Thanks for the info.

Use the Motorcraft filters, FL-300 if you are running the oil cooler. Fram filters are JUNK and can and will cost you a engine.

Did I say that backwards? The 16 is the short and the 8 long?

My 87 WSP SSP has PH43 written in marker on the radiator support. I am assuming the fleet mechanics put it there for a reference.
