?? Cellulose (paper) air filters don't have chemical treatments. Some are oiled, but other than normal curing of the media, there is no chemical treatment.

Its made by Premier Products, but not familiar with the X32882 designation/retailer......

Maybe its just me, but I don't see how performing an oil analysis will help you determine if the air filter is efficient or not. You will see an increase in hp and fuel mileage because the filter is free flowing. But the efficiency is also so low that excessive amounts of contaminants will be...

Just new packaging - the filter itself is the same. I guess I was trying to say we don't make a premium and second line of this particular filter.

We also make the Napa Silver

We only make one version of this filter.

My bad - my intent was not to make you think that I felt you had maligned Wix. Just wanted to let you know that although our parent has change, nothing else has - we are still the same as we were a year ago......

NOTHING has changed with the sale of us (and the rest of the After Market/Under Hood Group) to Cypress. We've always enjoyed operating pretty free from corporate intervention and continue to do so. All of our filters that have had silicone ADBV's continue to have them.

Labman is right - that o-ringed tip is not an ADVB. Also, our version comes from S. Korea an Poland.....

I could have saved you the trouble and told you that, lol!

While Napa has Gold/Silver lines and CarQuest has Blue/Red lines, the filters with our name on it (Wix) only come top of the line......

That's what Master Packs are - typically sold to fleets/jobbers. And we are changing more than just the can color - packaging and labeling are going thru an update.....

We also make NAPA silvers......

We have a manufacturing facility in Poland.....

Its no longer Dana Canada, but Affinia Canada

Whew! That's 21 years longer than me, Pete! Unfortunately, I'm in engineering and have worked in the Air/Liquid Test Lab and now on the Product Engineering side......

Chris is still here....... No, we won't warranty a filter that was damaged by the end user, but I still stand by my statement that a mildly dented can should have no real detrimental effect on a filter's integrity and performance. The filter is engineered so that it should withstand certain...

FYI - Wix is now OEM/OES for many Nissan CAF's

The Polish filters are not outsourced as they are manufactured at Wix-Filtron in Poland. Their manufacturing facility is actually on par with the facilities here in the US......

Uhm.... Actually, I work for a major filter company - you can probably figure out which one by where I am located. Was engineer in charge of the Liquid and Air Test Lab as a matter of fact - involved with the company's "Institute of Filtration Technology", too. Am now a Product Engineer and deal...
