Why give information that will void the new car warranty? Yes, the longer XG7313 will fit, same specs, BUT read this from Fram about the filter warranty:
FRAM® filter products manufactured or sold by FRAM Group Operations LLC are warranted to their original purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the duration of the original equipment recommended change interval and FRAM® hard parts (filters and hard parts are collectively referred to as,“Products”) are warranted to their original purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the later of the date of purchase or the date of installation.
This warranty covers properly installed or utilized Products, installed in vehicles as cataloged by the then applicable FRAM® product catalog
This warranty does not cover any Product that: a) has been subject to misuse, neglect,negligence, accident or casualty; b) has been improperly installed; c)
has been installed into an engine which is not referenced as a conforming application by the then applicable FRAM® catalog; or d) has remained in service beyond the original equipment recommended change interval.
So, if you use a filter that is not listed in the filter manufactures catalog, you have no warranty from the filter manufacture,
