I didn't know you could use a over sized oil filter, and is there any advantage to do so?

I run a fram ph8a or a ford fl1a. You can look up one for a 1990 302, 5.0 mustang or probably a million other cars with a small block ford or ford straight 6.

PH8a from autozone. A lot of Ford vehicles from the 80s and early 90s had a 5.0 liter engine that these filters worked with. It is overkill but if it doesnt cost anymore why not.

Oh and just FYI renix era XJs need to have a conversion to take it but it works fine in all 4.0 HOs.
