The name of a real oil filter is WIX, or NAPA, which is a WIX with the NAPA name on it. All others are poor imitations.

The reason the filter seal is blowing out is a locked-up oil pump pressure relief valve. Also change the pump drive shaft while you're in there, and check or replace the roll pin that attaches the distributor drive gear. All of the above has been subjected to stresses far above normal before the filter seal blew out.
