NO.  The Fram filters are CRAP.  The ones I've seen don't have the
retention valve, and are  flimsy compared to a quality filter.   The ONE
time I put a Fram filter in the '84 5KS the engine sounded like all the
lifters needed changing.   As for "working for your application", so
would a Hawaian Punch can and a roll of toilet paper if fitted properly.
