Pro-Tec Wix made filters

[umungus1122]

How are the Wix made Pro-Tec lower tier filters? I know Wix makes good filters and these can be had for $1.50 or so on Rock Auto. Their site says good for 3k miles. I used to use Puro Classics, but won't now with the tearing issues.

We've been using them in our trucks and the wive's Traverse's along with the zero turn mowers. I think we switched to them about 4 years ago and havent had any problems. We get them from O'reilly's for about $20 per 12 pack

They are better than Purolator Classics for sure, I personally don't like budget filters but they get the job done

They as well as parts master filters are made by WIX. I'll be chopping a Parts Master #57060 off my real fathers new to him 2013 HEMI Ram truck regular cab 4x4.

They are the NAPA Silver filters as well.

Same as Napa Silver and O'Reilly Microgard.

No thanks. Give me the real McCoy. You can also buy Casite filters for a buck fifty, but I'll use Baldwin or Hastings first.

Decent jobber filters. Most of the ones I have used were made in Mexico.

When I worked at Oreilly's, we sold cases of Pro-Tecs to the local shops. I always assumed they were a lower tiered filter than the Microgard and more comparable than the ProSelect.

Either way, I'd use them with confidence. This would be an interesting question for WIX/ Mann+Hummel though.
