Wix vs Wix XP vs Amsoil oil filters | BobIsTheOilGuy
Dec 9, 2019 · Cincinnati, OH, USA. Dec 8, 2019. #4. Wix XP is a tougher, lower efficiency, long life syn media filter.

Baldwin/Hastings vs Wix | BobIsTheOilGuy
Aug 5, 2014. #3. Baldwin/Hastings doesn't give oil filter performance information AFAIK. (I've never found it or seen it posted.) I think they just use plain old cellulose paper filter media, just adequate. Oil filters for trucks there might be different, just talking car stuff here. Wix and the same NAPA Gold oil filters publish 95% @ 20 ...
Wix filter quality control | BobIsTheOilGuy
Jun 5, 2008 · 4. Location. ca. Feb 2, 2022. #1.

Wix vs Dealership OEM Oil Filters | BobIsTheOilGuy
Dec 7, 2008 · Advance had the Motorcraft for about $1.50 more than Walmart, and only one Mopar filter was a match. It was over $7! If that's what the stores are charging, dealerships must be higher. I can get Wix with my Amsoil Preferred Customer account for less delivered right to my door with my fluids of choice.
NAPA Gold vs. WIX | BobIsTheOilGuy
Jul 6, 2020 · filter paper available surface area; with the new Asian brand cars using tiny "fuel filter" sized oil filters - this is a BIG issue. Another thing about the WIX/NAPA Gold filters with the base end bypass is that there is only a thin area of just metal-to-metal contact where it seals on the filter cartridge end cap.
AC Delco or WIX Filter - Bob is the Oil Guy
Aug 28, 2006 · Messages. 10,415. Location. Mahzurrah! Jan 7, 2014. #3. The AC Classics are good filters made by Champ, Wix makes excellent filters as well. As long as the AC is not an ecore version (not Classic) use whichever floats your boat. The ecores can be spotted by looking down the middle, if you see a black plastic cage and lots of exposed media that ...

Wix filters still good? | BobIsTheOilGuy
Oct 10, 2010 · May 8, 2024. #10. Unfortunately, I agree with the sentiment that the quality has slipped, they are often usable, but the construction should be checked for each filter and can no longer simply be trusted. I recently bought a group of Wix 57145 filters from Rock Auto that were labeled Made in Mexico.
