My Uncle runs the FRAM racing filters in his stoick car with no issue.I have told him about all the negative stuff on the internet about FRAM and he says he has ran them since the 70's without any problem...I will point out he runs 2 filters on a remote thingamajigger though. Since a Fram filter costs about the same as a WIX I would run the WIX(CARQUEST OR NAPA ARE WIX) just to be safe.
