I have a UNI foam filter but my local dealer is carrying the stock unit so you may want to check yours.

Why not have the best: the stock cellulose filter element? They're still available and priced reasonable.
No messing with oil (too little? too much?), foam that can and will tear. Servicing can be done within 10 seconds. And they go a looooong way. I do years and at least 18.000 kms with it.
