Lightbulb Question: 3.3/3.8 Oil Filter Space?
On a 2006 or earlier 3.3 or 3.8 Caravan, is there enough space to fit a PH8A sized oil filter in the place of the the shorter 5281090 sized oil filter?

Plenty of room - this is part of my chart I keep in the car

regular oil filter
WIX 51085
Fram PH16
Purolator PL14670
Champion PH253
Chrysler 5281090
Motorcraft FL-200 or FL-842
==========================
larger filters (medium & long)
WIX 51515/51068
Fram PH8A/PH43
Purolator L30001/PL20081
Motorcraft FL-1A

Thanks! That's great news. I'm currently shopping the market for a used Caravan and am researching various options all the way down to what oil filter to use. This one is expensive, but it is the oil filter I'd use for sure:
