Yes that's what I want if running a hampster-sized filter in the Winter - seeing I cant get a good non-ecore Champ labs.

Last Fram XG I ran on a Subaru MELTED its base gasket to the mounting boss. Hard a very hard time getting it off. Turned me off.

I guess one upside to the K&P oil filter I'm running is that it won't do that. They have a heavy duty quad ring. If it doesn't melt from the 250° oil temps I see on my Harley, I think it's good. I was running Amsoil oil filters prior to the K&P, and after this OCI will throw on one of the Fram Ultras that I have laying around and see how it does.

Makes me want to drive around in sport mode all the time to get the oil temps up quicker...

I have a different car, but, "sport mode" in mine prompts the system for more cooling, not less...just make sure what your car's "sport mode" does regarding oil temps.
