Pulled this off a piece of equipment. Unknown hours on it. There is a rubber seal that's out of place! Looks like it seals the cartridge to the baseplate.
Not sure what's going on with wix lately.

I used to really like wix. So far even the Chinese filters seem better made.What's going on with Wix lately? Mann + Hummel is what.
This isn't just a Oil filter problem, the entire Auto industry is SHORT manpower. We are TWENTY people short and the hire day only 3 were interviewed. Constant downtime and lack of experience of new hires, things being built right now will have problems, and I say that the oil filter is the FIRST thing we noticed, just wait for all the recalls coming up!(that is once your chip is installed a year from now!)What's going on with Wix lately?

Is that not a DuraMAX filter? The Wix we use with that style are labeled as a DuraMAX and are a Donaldson filter with the WIx name on them. Baldwin used to be the same way. Not sure if they are now though.Pulled this off a piece of equipment. Unknown hours on it. There is a rubber seal that's out of place! Looks like it seals the cartridge to the baseplate.

My brother works at the cleveland engine plant and they are having all kinds of issues with filters. He sent me a picture a couple weeks ago of a gaylord box full of rejects.Its not really related, but Ford dealers all over are reporting FL-500S filters with teh base threads cut wrong. I have a block filter adapter to check and have found 6 at my dealer alone.
Ya, we collect them and return them to my FAD who gives me credit for them. Its annoying to say the least.My brother works at the cleveland engine plant and they are having all kinds of issues with filters. He sent me a picture a couple weeks ago of a gaylord box full of rejects.
