There is no minimum spec for an oil filter. It just has to fit and have a little bit of paper in it to call it a filter. Frams are notorious for collapsing and stopping up the oil system, which will cause a tapping noise at start-up to full blown engine failure if left long enough.
I would stick with OEM filters on any vehicle I own. They are actually "made to spec" for the various vehicles and are better quality than any aftermarket filter.
