- I bought a PF13 because the K-Mart book had the wrong filter listed for
- my '90 LeBaron GT with the 3 liter V6 (they listed the same filter that the
- 4 uses). It looks like it will fit, it is the same size as the FRAM PH16
- that I ordinarily use, although the AC box says it crosses to FRAM PH3963.
-
- I don't plan on putting this on my car without some more investigation, but
- I wonder if anyone has an opinion about the quality of the filter?
-
- The side of the box is very interesting:
-
- "The hotter temperatures, higher flow rates and tighter clearances of today's
- engines demand improved oil filter performance, and AC DURAGUARD Oil Filters
- provide the best value in high tech filtration for high tech engines."
-
- If I may translate: "Modern engines need finer filters, AC is the cheapest
- finer filter you can buy."
-
-
- The thing is, I can buy 2 of these for every FRAM, and change twice as often.
