I have a 94 Mustang gt convert and I am going to change the oil for the first time since i owned it. When I go to the store to get the filter I keep seeing two different filters... one that has a (d) and one that has a (t) I bought the (d) one which is the fram xg8a. not the xg16. Whats the difference? Any help would be great.

Eitehr will fit. the larger one I think is the 8.

that is the one to use. I know the napa gold numbers. We use a 1515 if that helps ya.

I always thought the Fram was a PH8A for the 5 liter.

I won't buy fram either. Napa is WIX and napa gold is better than regular napa.

Post 3k miles and the anti drainback still works.

thanks everyone. I ended up putting the XG8A fram extended guard filter. It fit with no probs. Cleaned out the air filter too. What a PAIN IN THE A-hole. Talk about a crummy design. I'll definetly get a cold air intake next time. Thanks again.

Agreed. I have always used Motorcraft FL-1A on all my windsor family motors.
