Recently replaced the old Wix air filter in my Jeep with a new Wix and was shocked at how much the quality has gone down. The older Wix filter had a plastic frame and a silicon gasket while the new one is just a piece of filter material with no frame or gasket of any kind. The new one relies on the filter material being crushed by the filter housing to seal. Has Wix quality gone down across the board or just for my application?
I must add that the Wix filter I just replaced was at least 5 years old probably closer to 10 years old as it’s pretty wet around here hence dust free and air filter tend to last a long time. Also I don’t drive this car that much.
