Oreilly does use Wix numbers for the Select and standard. Same like Napa did maybe still does. You didn’t read what I said. The house brand Microgard, would they be buying from different companies for each filter number? Notice PG and Microgard Select are separate customers in your picture. So not PG “made”, but made for Oreillys.
Any private label filter customer can request any part number convention from any other filter maker they so choose. It does not imply the part number convention they use from whatever maker is made by that maker.
This is what you said in post 9:
“O'Reilly doesn't use Wix numbers for the MicroGard Select line.” It’s ok if you are wrong. I wasn’t saying I was right about Wix supplying Oreilly. It was conjecture based on observations. No use turning it into something it is not.
You said, “O'Reilly doesn't use Wix numbers for the MicroGard Select line.”
It does look like some MicroGard Selects do use some Wix numbers.
Looks like someone is just trying to stir the pot again….
purolator fan boys want to see something good come out of M+H.
Look who really stirs the pot here, not me. The only reason I come here right now is to see the Fram Ultra with the nylon core cut open so I don’t have to spend $9 for nothing.waiting for wcw to get one. Otherwise I have to stop wasting the time.
What got this discussion rolling in the first place was you thinking just because a filter uses a Wix filter number must mean it's also made by Wix - see post 9 which is what you "think": "So here is the hornets nest, I think they are all made by Wix under Mann Hummel. Oreilly uses the Wix numbers and I can’t see that they buy one filter from premium guard and another from Wix. Likely it’s all from Wix including the Select. Premium Guard isn’t a manufacturer in Vietnam but maybe I am wrong."
Clearly meant to stir the pot. He seems to go out of his way to post on PG related threads.
It should be ok to make observations and deduce.
You are on a forum where correct details matter. If you cannot handle a course correction and learn from it, then you are going to be filling out hurt feelings reports quite a bit.
What people write is what they think. You're the one "thinking" MicroGard Selects are made by Wix/M+H ... you wrote it. Pretty much every comment made by anyone is their implied opinion, regardless if it's correct or not. The truth of someone's opinion is shown with substantiated proof. Thinking that MicroGard Select filters are made by Wix/M+H because they use Wix filter numbers is not any proof that Wix/M+H makes them. No more than thinking that SuperTech filters are made by Fram because they use Fram filter numbers on many of the SuperTechs.
Until you can prove that Wix is actually involved in the production of MicroGard Selects, then my opinion based on available information shown in post 19 & 32 is that Wix/M+H has nothing to do with the MicroGard Select filter line. I'd also venture to say the regular MicroGards made in Vietnam are also under the PG umbrella. The regular ones made in India, Mexico or the US are/were most likely the Wix/M+H versions.
