FRAM part description

Features & Benefits

  • Grip-textured shell reduces slippage during filter swaps in oily bays
  • Valve seal retains elasticity after extended winter parking intervals
  • Shell strength counters accidental impact from nearby tools or components
  • Balanced footprint supports installation in multi-accessory engine layouts
  • Inlet holes promote even flow distribution during high-speed oil circulation

Fram Spin-on Oil Filter

The Fram Spin-on Oil Filter uses a SureGrip® exterior that gives it a textured hold, making installation and removal substantially easier than polished canisters. Rated for long-haul intervals of up to 10,000 miles, it benefits engines fitted with either synthetic or conventional lubricants. The fiber-and-resin media blend captures a high percentage of particulate debris while maintaining steady flow across temperature swings. Its silicone anti-drainback valve reinforces consistent start-up lubrication after overnight cool-downs. At 5.218" height with a mid-sized diameter, the Fram PH3985 integrates smoothly with many passenger and light-truck layouts.
