If the Wix works for you stay with it. Take a look at the size of the inlet holes in the Wix verses the Fram . There is less volume which results in a restriction in flow. This isn't our first rodeo. I guess when you have bearing wear and dirt you need a filter, maybe I'll start not running any.....We do not have that problem.

The Fram filter you posted is not a HP series. The HP filter has 8 holes that are the same size as the wix photo you have pictured. Our preference is Fram through over 50 years of building championship winning engines . You can use what ever you want.
