So the Frontier takes the same filter as the Honda? (Fram 7317, Wix 57356, Puro 14610, Bosch 3323) That is what it looks like.
The only thing I don’t really care for (well besides the price) about the standard WIX in this size is that the base end bypass takes up some real estate.
Bosch in the US have been Purolators though there hasn’t always been a direct cross (IE D+ and Synthetic are unique in respective lines) I stay away from Purolator made filters at this point.
Each manufacturer tends to have a unique tapping plate design, Purolators are pretty easy to sort out in this size. Can inking can also be a give away.
Purolator - Note the two pieces and that the outer layer extends almost to the threads.

I know you had a bad experience with Fram, and I can respect that, but IMO they are the best choice currently.
