Fram Group PH8172 Heavy Duty Spin-on Oil Filter

Product Description

The FRAM GROUP PH8172 is a heavy duty, full flow, spin-on lube oil filter engineered for diesel engine applications that demand reliable filtration across standard OEM-recommended oil change intervals. Built with cellulose filter media, it delivers efficient particle removal capacity suited for high-load service environments. The filter features high strength tapping plates for positive seating and a spiral center tube design that resists media collapse under internal pressure buildup. Gasket materials are formulated to withstand the thermal and chemical conditions found in diesel engine environments. Licensed and qualified HVAC, fleet, and equipment technicians install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance programs.

The PH8172 is designed for heavy duty diesel applications requiring full flow lube filtration. It is CJ-4 oil compatible, making it appropriate for use with low-ash, low-sulfur diesel engine oils meeting that API service category. Typical install scenarios include commercial trucks, diesel-powered equipment, and fleet vehicles operating on standard OEM oil change schedules. This filter is sold individually as a single unit (EA), with a package quantity of 6 units available per case.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified diesel technicians or fleet maintenance professionals as part of a scheduled lube service. Before removing the filter, shut down the engine and allow oil pressure to fully dissipate. Hand-tighten the spin-on filter until the gasket contacts the seating surface, then follow the engine manufacturer torque guidance printed on the filter or in the service manual. Dispose of used oil and the spent filter in accordance with local environmental regulations.
