Looks like a WIX or Mobile 1 oil filter probably same company they just put thier name on it.

I use nothing but Mobile 1 oil filters as of 2008 after I found out how bad Fram was.

Purolator makes a very good filter, I cut apart several and Purolator, Wix, Motorcraft, and NAPA were great filters and of course Fram was the worst, Fram was the only filter with a plastic surge spring and cardboard end caps on the filter element. The Purolator had a true spring for a surge spring and a silicone antidrainback valve. Motorcraft and Mopar filters are remarkably similar to Purolator,

Purolator actually makes their own filters and they're very good filters. I've been running Purolator filters for the past year or so. Last I knew the Mopar filters are Purolators and I still run those sometimes since they sell them at Wal-Mart. Sometime Advance has good deals with 5 qts of oil and Purolator filter for pretty cheap and I'll get them there, otherwise I use the Mopar ones.

Ditto on the stay away from Fram. After doing an oil change about 15 years ago outside in the winter with no garage or carport, I had everything all buttoned up, started the car and looked underneath only to find out that all my new oil was spurting out at the seam between the filter base and the canister. The filter wasn't put together properly. I got it shut off before any damage and that's the last Fram filter I ever bought.
