WIX products

anyone here use a WIX oil filter(51348), local parts store claims as good as mobil 1,

 

WIX<mobil 1<toyota

 

wix is quality stuff

same as napa gold

1348 or 1516 is a bit taller but still fits

 

thanks,

this means?

 

I've used WIX for years without any issues. But I can get the Toyota filter for less than a WIX for my truck.

 

Wix makes great filters. I use their air filters and used to use Napa Gold filters which are made by Wix. I use PureOne oil filters because they're a little cheaper than Wix/Napa Gold. Either way, use Wix without fear.

 

Agreed with the above. Wix is one of the best.

 

Mathmatics talk....

< means less than

if you flipflop the entire thing it says

toyota > mobil 1 > WIX

> means greater than.... and in other words,

Toyota is greater than Mobil 1, which is greater than WIX

Chris4x4 also made a great post about how the Toyota filter is a tad bit superior than the other... Made me totally rethink where I buy mine from.

< = less than

 

Nice post

 

I use either Napa Gold (Wix) or Purolator PureOne.

 

I wouldn't have a problem using a Wix, which is the same as a NAPA gold, but I don't believe it's any better than the factory one, and those are reasonably priced, so I use the OEM. I don't know anything about the Mobil One filters.

 

If you're running a 5K OCI, all the filters mentioned so far, including Wix, will be more than sufficient. If you buy in bulk (10 filters), the OEMs are the best price though. Only time I would put any more thought into it is if you plan on going to extended drain intervals.

 

Agreed that Wix. Napa Gold are good filters, but I do believe the OEMs are a bit better. They have more filtered area in the media and even though the bypass valve in the Wix is good, the OEM is a little better IMO. As for air filters, Wix/NG is all I use
