Fram Ph8170(2)

The PH8170 part number is commonly referenced for small gasoline engines found on outdoor power equipment. You’ll often see it used on:

• Lawn mowers and lawn tractors
• Zero-turn and garden equipment
• Generators and other small-engine tools

Because engines and housings vary, fitment isn’t universal. To confirm:

• Check your equipment’s owner’s manual for the recommended oil filter part number.
• Match the number on your old filter if available.
• Use the site’s compatibility tools and enter your equipment details.

Many product pages also include a “replaces” or “cross-reference” section you can compare against your exact part number. If anything doesn’t match, it’s best to select the part your manual calls for.

PH8170 is typically associated with small-engine applications rather than passenger vehicles. Small-engine filters can look similar to automotive ones, but internal features and dimensions may differ, which can affect sealing and oil flow.

• Start with your manual: Verify the exact part number your engine requires.
• Match specs: Compare thread pattern, gasket diameter, and overall height shown on the product page to your original.
• Avoid mixing categories: Automotive and small-engine filters aren’t always interchangeable.

If you’re unsure, using your engine model details with the site’s fitment tools can help narrow options. When in doubt, a service technician can provide guidance for your specific equipment.

Several manufacturers produce filters with similar sizing and function, but the safest way to find a comparable option is to cross-reference your exact part number and engine details.

• Check product pages: Look for “replaces,” “interchange,” or “cross-reference” lists that include your original part number.
• Use your OEM number: Search using the number from your owner’s manual or old filter to surface compatible alternatives.
• Compare specs: Confirm thread size, gasket diameter, and height to ensure proper fit and clearance.

Compatibility can vary by engine and year, so it’s a good idea to verify before purchasing. Matching the original part number usually provides the most reliable result.

Availability can fluctuate for small-engine filters due to seasonal demand, regional assortment, and supplier updates. During peak mowing seasons, certain part numbers may sell quickly or have limited store coverage.

• Set your location: Enter your ZIP code to see local and online inventory.
• Check fulfillment options: Shipping, delivery, and store pickup can vary by area and change throughout the day.
• Use alerts: If offered, sign up for back-in-stock notifications.
• Search by your part number: This can surface compatible options that meet your equipment’s requirements.

Stock updates frequently, so checking back or exploring verified equivalents using your exact part number can help you get what you need sooner.

A quick check can help you avoid leaks or clearance issues.

• Find the exact recommendation: Your owner’s manual lists the correct oil filter part number for your engine.
• Match your old filter: Note the printed number and compare it on the product page.
• Verify key dimensions: Review thread pattern and gasket diameter; the filter should start by hand without resistance.
• Use compatibility tools: Enter your equipment or engine details on-site to confirm.

If threads don’t start smoothly or the gasket doesn’t seat evenly, stop and recheck fitment. When uncertain, consulting a service technician can help ensure you’re using the right part for your mower.
