Default PH8A usable on a 99 4.6 w/remote filter?

I'm curious if I can use this trick that I have used on 4.0l Jeeps for years to increase the oil capacity a bit. Do the thread and the gasket match up? Thanks.

Well, I just checked it out for myself and the answer is...NO! The filter on the 4.6 has a larger thread than the PH8A type Anyone know of a larger than stock filter that would fit the bill?

Thanks, I'll have to check that one out for fit. Like Ty mentioned, my truck has the factory remote oil filter so hopefully the threads on the FL-1A match up to it.
