So, did you get the FRAM PH6353 or a replacement? When you said the threads were 30mm, I thought that sounded quite large for a 4 cylinder diesel. And you say that you're modifying something to accept a PH8A, but that has 3/4-16 threads. Just about the most common oil filter for many years... If you bought this filter for $28, I guess Spence got royaly screwed...

Glad to hear you got it figured out.

The filter I got from O'Riley is a Fram boxed Mitsubishi factory filter (black with Mitsu part number). From what I understand, Fram bought the entire stock of these filters from Mitsubishi. They are no longer available from the dealer.
Yes, I will have the extra filter housing (adapter)that I have modified to fit the PH8a filter now that I have a filter for my truck.
