With a remote filter you don't have to use stock any more.  I would
recommend the bypass valve.  The purpose of the bypass valve is to allow oil
to flow around the filter instead of through it when the filter is plugged
up.  On some cars you don't need the bypass valve because there's one built
into the engine.  The renesis has a bypass valve built in but it bypasses
almost the entire lubrication system... its there to keep you from blowing
your oil hoses, not to work around a clogged filter.  I recommend you get
the filter with the built in bypass.

Wix is one of the better types of oil filter and Fram is pretty much the
worst.  Fram was great once but that was back when Lycomings were the
hottest new technology.  Since then they rely on their brand name only.
