It is another good filter you can replace the OEM but you need to check all concerned part such as the o-ring. If your car original filter has an o-ring, try to keep the old one as this product does not come with it.
Talking about installation, the barrel size is o.k., fit the OEM but may not for the thread. You need to tight it in with more difficulty as the thread is a little bit tight then OEM but it works well.
