just a little help from my friends

[Dusty Waters]

2008 ranger 4 cylinder, question; does anyone know if I can can use a fram PH3980 filter on my truck. I have a new filter from another vehicle, long gone, the gasket size same but do not know if threads will fit. Don't want to pull filter off to try fit as I
live long distance from auto parts house. suggestions please.

Personally I'd get the right filter first and then when you change oil next give the PH3980 a try. If it works then use it and you'll have the other for the next change.

Use this site. https://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/ If you look up both filters, it tells you the threads and dimensions.

From the site;


Fram PH3980:

• Filter type: Full-Flow Lube Spin-on
• Thread measurement: M18x1.5
• Outer diameter: 76 mm (Approx. 2.99")
• Height: 120 mm (Approx. 4.72")

I don't know what filter your truck takes, but find out and plug it into the site above and see how the threads compare.
