Look st the filter and see if it has the Sealed Power trademark, "Filtran", if it has, then it is a oem type, which is fine.

WRONG!!! Many times I've seen the oem filtran "zero leak" filter save front pumps from damage from fine metal. The other filters have let in this fine metal and ruin the front pump.
