Hey Jake
Thanks much for the list ~ with that info I decided to switch back to Wix / NAPA Gold. Before switching to the Fram TG3593A I had been using a NAPA Gold 1365. So I am now going with NAPA Gold 1334 & it fits great. I wanted to go with the 1344 but with my setup having a "SandwitchPlate" that would have made the OilFilter the lowest item in the backend & I was uncomfortable with that.
Now to the VeryInteresting part ~ The OilPressure never gets as high & never gets as low as it did with the Fram ~ High Pressure is 8-10PSI lower than with Fram (Reved-Hot or Cold or Idle-Cold) ~ Low Pressure is about 8-10PSI Higher than with Fram (Hot @ Idle) ~ I'm quite OK with that but a bit puzzled.

Hey Bob, I wouldn't use Fram if you paid me...
The Wix 51356 is hardly bigger than the OEM Subaru filter I'm currently
using (2.625" D. x 2.5" H.) - looks like a waste of time. The Wix 51334 is
bigger than that one, as are the 51318 & 51344.
I'm going to have to do some measuring to check for fit, but here's some
relevant data from the Wix site:

Subi OEM 2.625"D x 2.375"H = 12.8533CubicIns = 0.4451Pints

Although the Tough Guard is better, by far, than all the other Frams that
Honeywell (Canada) makes, it's still inferior in materials and end cap
material and can strength, to what Tokyo Roki of Japan makes, in the
black H6 3.0 and 3.6 filters. If all you are looking for is the ability to
carry 1/4 to 1/2 quart more oil, then I suppose a larger filter is a good
thing. But if in doing that you are sacrificing good filtering, good
drainback valving, and good pressure and bypass function, then
you might want to reconsider. Why not just add either an oil cooler
OR remote filter set up, which would allow almost 2 more quarts
of oil in the system? I've looked at the product that Amsoil offers
for that and have just not sprung for the $200+ it would cost to
do it, and finding a place on the frame to mount it conveniently.
