This Fram filter is the proper fit for my 1986 Ford Taurus V6 engine. I respect the fine history of Fram to the automotive filter industry and have relied on them for years. I say "proper fit" because the previous 3 pack Fram filter purchase from Amazon for this engine gave me filters that were too wide by less than 1/16" but dug into the starter motor mount and easily cut open the filter side when spinning on the block. I made a "washer" adjustment to the starter motor mount and all is OK. This filter is narrower and fits properly. No problem, just minor adjustments as is normal over time with automobiles and replacement parts. Always happy with Amazon service and packaging.
