For the 2020 Chevy Traverse equipped with the 3.6-liter V6, Fram lists two filters that fit the engine: XG3614A and PH3614A.
The 2020 Traverse uses a GM 3.6L V6 powertrain in most trims, and Fram’s compatibility guides commonly pair this engine with two Fram filters designed for GM 3.6L applications. While multiple Fram options can physically thread onto the filter housing, these two part numbers are the models most frequently cited for this vehicle by Fram and aftermarket retailers. Always verify the exact fit for your specific VIN and engine variant using Fram’s compatibility tools or your dealer's guidance.
Fram filter options for the 2020 Traverse
Below are Fram filters that are commonly promoted as fitting the 3.6L GM V6 used in the Traverse. These entries are useful starting points, but you should double-check compatibility for your exact vehicle to avoid ambiguity.
- XG3614A — Fram Ultra Synthetic filter designed for GM 3.6L V6 applications, including the Chevrolet Traverse family.
- PH3614A — Fram Extra Guard filter also listed as fitting GM 3.6L V6 engines such as the Traverse.
Both options are designed to fit the same class of GM 3.6L engines and share common threading and gasket characteristics, but the Ultra Synthetic (XG3614A) is a higher-capacity option and the Extra Guard (PH3614A) is typically the more budget-friendly choice. If you’re aiming for maximum filtration performance, XG3614A is the preferred pick; if cost is a key factor, PH3614A remains a solid alternative.
How to verify the exact filter for your vehicle
To ensure you select the correct Fram filter for your exact Traverse configuration, follow these steps before purchasing.
- Consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or the GM service guide to confirm the recommended oil filter part number for your engine and year.
- Use Fram’s official site or a trusted parts retailer’s compatibility tool by entering your vehicle’s year, make, model, and engine (3.6L V6) to confirm fitment for XG3614A and PH3614A.
- Compare the physical filter features (thread size, gasket diameter, and overall height) with your current filter to ensure compatibility.
- When in doubt, bring the old filter to a parts counter or contact customer service for a definitive cross-check against your VIN.
Following these steps helps avoid misfit issues and ensures you get the correct Fram filter model for your specific Traverse variant.

The 2020 Chevy Traverse’s 3.6L V6 commonly aligns with Fram filter models XG3614A and PH3614A. Both are designed to fit GM 3.6L applications, with XG3614A offering a higher-capacity option.
