Fram PH4386 Cross Reference: Compatible Oil Filters from All Brands

The FRAM PH4386 is a full-size spin-on oil filter used across a wide range of Toyota, Chevrolet, and Suzuki applications. Its verified cross references include the WIX 57145, Purolator L14477, NAPA Gold 1396, AC Delco PF1233, Bosch 3311, and Mann W610/1. Each of these filters shares the same thread size, gasket dimensions, and bypass valve range needed to fit the same engine applications.

What Is the FRAM PH4386 Oil Filter?

The FRAM PH4386 is a full-size spin-on oil filter from FRAM's Extra Guard product line, rated for 10,000 miles. Inside the steel can, it uses pleated cellulose blend media, an anti-drainback valve, and a relief bypass valve.

It is one of the most commonly cross-referenced FRAM filters because it fits a wide range of four-cylinder and V6 engines used across Toyota, Chevrolet, and Suzuki vehicles.

What Vehicles Does the FRAM PH4386 Fit?

The FRAM PH4386 is an application filter for a broad mix of Toyota and small-displacement engines. The most common vehicles that use it include:

The PH4386 covers Toyota's 4-cylinder engines across the Camry, RAV4 and Highlander, which is part of why it is one of the most widely stocked filters in the FRAM line.
  • Toyota Camry (2002–2011)
  • Toyota RAV4 (2001–2008)
  • Toyota Highlander (2002–2007)
  • Toyota Solara (2002–2008)
  • Toyota Tundra (2022–2023, select V8)
  • Toyota Camry Hybrid (some years, though some use the shorter PH4967)
  • Chevrolet Tracker 2.0L
  • Chevrolet Nova / Prizm 1.6L (older applications)
  • Suzuki Aerio, Esteem, and Vitara (older applications)

Always verify the year, make, model, and engine size against the FRAM fitment guide before purchasing. A part number that fits one model year does not always fit the next. Note that the 2012-and-newer Toyota Camry uses a cartridge filter, not the PH4386.

FRAM PH4386 Specifications

The cross reference works because every compatible filter shares the same physical specs. The PH4386 uses these dimensions:

FRAM PH4386What the spec sheets say
Thread size3/4-16 UNF
Gasket OD2.500 in (63.5 mm)
Overall length3.46 in (87.88 mm)
Anti-drainback valveYes
Bypass valve pressure14 PSI
MediaCellulose blend
FiltrationCaptures particles down to 20 microns

Any aftermarket filter with these dimensions and a comparable bypass valve range is a valid cross reference.

The OEM Toyota filter is included because most PH4386 applications are Toyota or Toyota-engineered platforms, and the 90915-YZZF1 is the factory equivalent for many of those vehicles. Champion Laboratories is the manufacturer that produces the FRAM filter itself, which is why the PH2840 reads almost identically to the FRAM PH4386.

How to Read This Chart

A row in this chart shows one filter from each brand that fits the same engine. To use it, find your current filter's brand and part number, then read across to the brand you want to switch to. A WIX 57145 user moving to a synthetic media filter, for example, would look at the FRAM XG4386 or WIX 57145XP as the same physical filter with upgraded internals.

FRAM PH4386 vs TG4386 vs XG4386

These three filters fit identically. The difference is internal media and rated mileage.

Side-by-side three-filter comparison visual showing media type upgrade path
FRAM's three tiers share the same 4386 fitment code and differ only in media and rated interval: Extra Guard at 10,000 miles on cellulose blend, Tough Guard at 15,000 on a synthetic blend, and Ultra Synthetic at 20,000 on dual-layer synthetic.

If you run a conventional oil and change at every 5,000 miles, the PH4386 is fine. If you run a full synthetic oil with a 7,500 to 10,000 mile interval, step up to the TG4386 or XG4386. The cross reference still applies. They all fit the same engines.

How to Confirm the Cross Reference Fits Your Vehicle

A cross reference is a starting point, not a final answer. Before buying, do these three checks.

  1. Look up your vehicle in the manufacturer's tool. Enter your year, make, model, and engine into the FRAM, WIX, or Purolator lookup. Confirm the result matches the filter you plan to buy.
  2. Compare the physical filter to the original. When the new filter arrives, hold it next to the old one. The thread size, gasket diameter, and overall length should match.
  3. Check the bypass valve rating. If your engine specifies a particular bypass pressure (the PH4386 sits around 14 PSI), verify the cross-referenced filter is in the same range.

For most passenger vehicle applications, any verified cross reference from a major brand is reliable. The extra confirmation steps matter for modified engines and high-mileage vehicles.

FAQ

What does the FRAM PH4386 fit? The FRAM PH4386 fits the 2002–2011 Toyota Camry, 2022–2023 Toyota Tundra, and a wide range of related Toyota, Chevrolet, and Suzuki applications including the Highlander, Solara, RAV4, Tracker, and Aerio. Always confirm against the FRAM fitment guide for your specific year and engine before purchasing.

Is the FRAM PH4386 a good oil filter? The PH4386 is a budget-friendly cellulose-blend filter rated for 10,000 miles. It is adequate for conventional oil and standard 5,000 mile intervals. For longer drain intervals or full synthetic oil, the TG4386 (Tough Guard) or XG4386 (Ultra Synthetic) is the better choice in the same physical size.

What is the WIX equivalent of FRAM PH4386? The WIX 57145 is the direct standard equivalent of the FRAM PH4386. The WIX 57145XP is the extended performance version, comparable to the FRAM XG4386. Both share the PH4386's thread size, gasket dimensions, and bypass valve range.

What is the OEM Toyota equivalent of the PH4386? The Toyota OEM filter that crosses to the FRAM PH4386 in most applications is the 90915-YZZF1. This is the dealer-supplied filter for many of the 2.4L and V6 Toyota engines that use the PH4386 size.

Final Thoughts

The FRAM PH4386 is one of the most widely cross-referenced filters because it fits some of the most popular four-cylinder and V6 Toyota engines on the road. Any of the verified equivalents from WIX, Purolator, Mobil 1, Bosch, or AC-Delco will fit the same engine the PH4386 fits.

Before swapping brands, confirm your specific year and engine in the manufacturer's lookup tool, and match the bypass valve range to your engine's spec. For longer oil change intervals, choose the synthetic media tier (XG4386, 57145XP, or PL14477 Boss) rather than the standard cellulose option.
