Quality control, that's the reason I like WIX and NAPA Gold.

Only Wix I've seen torn on here was
https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/4231351/Wix_51064,_110_Hours._Tear?
and that was 10w30 on a John Deere tractor, and a version of Wix (cheaper) with a nitrile ADBV, so maybe it doesn't count compared to this one.
Link to Torn Wix, cheaper type

This thing is stout... it's what's on my Fusion right now with some Ravenol DXG. Headed for a 10-12k OCI. It too, shall be laid bare for the board

Awesome job, Adam! Thanks!

Thanks for the C & P. Another posting described the great sale on them in some of the US Napa stores.

Thanks for the C&P.

The key to Crocs is to enjoy them around the house, but, never, I repeat, NEVER, wear them in public where people would accuse you of abandoning the en vogue Birkenstocks (OK, the white socks + Birks kind of ruined dreams of being a male model anyway).

Been using Wix almost exclusively for a few years now.

No NAPA around here ever has the sales on their Gold filters. If they did, I would buy them for sure.

Debbie Downer here to quell all the fanboy-ism. and look at FACTS.

Firstly - Why cut open a --NEW-- NAPA/WIX gold we all know what they look like. same old same old.

Nice photos though. Ill give you that.


Problem with wix - which ive used a lot in the past - as a premium aftermarket choice -

the base end bypass ( good idea) takes up WAY TOO MUCH filter room in the nopw popular small form factors. think fuel filter then subtract 1/3 of not enough surface area.

Nextly. have had plenty of "major" weeps from that flat gasket on various application. Some Asian brands and advanced oils just need a P-gasket. like factory.

Even so I would not hesitate to go Wix /Napa gold in the bigger cans.

I just don't have anything that uses a big can - I bet you may not either.

If you dont like my cut and posts: dont look at them and dont look at filter section.

Thanks

Crocs are my favorite shoes. Only time I don't wear crocs any more is in the winter. They might not look manly but they are very comfortable, almost like you are not wearing anything at all.
