Wix is top notch. A web search should turn up many racing applications.

FRAM certainly IS NOT top notch. It's a (almost) universally hated and despised filter. Their filter material leaves less than is desired; for a proper functioning filter.

Hola, tekardi.

Here's an encyclopedic article on filters including the good, the bad and the ugly... http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/reference.html

Prolly doesn't make a heck of alot of difference R&R, especially if you change oil more frequently than recommended in the manual. Myself, I change my 100% synthetic oil every 5-6,000 miles.

I have used the Wix filter in several. Right now I have a NAPA PS1358 flter iun the R3. Both brands a really good. I rode Moto Guzzi for awhile . They have a enclosed system around their flters. To many stories about split fram sides and toasted engines. BMW riders will stay away fromthem also .

Local NAPA store person told me that their filters are made by Wix. Probably the same in the States.
