I have the pro-select on my Toyota now - where's the bypass, can bottom or inlet? I was suspecting the bottom end cap welded ( ala Clarecore/Purolator) which would be a change for Wix.
I just took a 1356 Nascar select off my car that was in service for a hair under 4,000 miles. I'll cut it open when I get a chance for comparison sake, I was curious how different they were from the regular ProSelect and since it's the same part number, now I'll know. Thanks for the pic.
well this is interesting news the CHEAPER filter has MORE room for the media than a traditional WIX (napa goLD) with the base mounted ( ungasketed) bypass. HOW MANY SQ INCHES? AND WHATS THE MEDIA. i DONT CARE ABOUT METAL END CAPS.
I cut open my Napa Nascar Select 1356 today for comparison sake:
Oil used: Pennzoil 5W-30
Miles: 3,912
Time in use: Just under 3 months
The "spin-flow" element appears to just be a cheap plastic/paper thing with flaps. Also, this was a very tough can! Took almost an entire dremel wheel to cut it open.
