(USED) Wix 557830 - Torn!

[RooflessVW]

From my BIL's FR-S. Was run almost 6k miles with Pennzoil Platinum Euro 0W-40. Replaced with STP HM 10w30 and an STP blue can. Was very surprised to see these ugly pleats and tears.

Enjoy:

It's the Scion (or Toyota?) 2-door sportster that is a twin of the Subaru BRZ (?). Has a Subaru flat 4 in it.

Scion FR-S 2012-2016 similar to the Subaru BR-Z. Since Scion went under the car is now called the Toyota 86. So a little confusing.

Ouch - that isn't pretty...

That pleat spacing in so horrible it is breathtaking...

I wonder if WIX has taken lessons from Purolator?

 

[Onetor]

Made in Mexico! Hopefully it is an anomaly.

Isn't this the 2nd torn Wix that we've seen posted recenlty?

 

[ZeeOSix]

Another victim of very wide pleat spacing.

Wow, that's disappointing. Where did you get this filter? I've never heard of a 557830, that numbering scheme doesn't seem familiar... is it a jobber filter?

This is another example why I like canister filter elements. You can see what you got.

Interesting there is an extra 5 on the beginning.

There is also the Wix 57830, with only one 5 in the part number.

Still sucks that it tore. Thank you for the cut and post

O'Reilly

Odd. Was it in a 57830 box? It shows here they retired that part number...

Plus if you search the O'Reilly website the only Wix PN that's available is 57830. What's the date code on the filter? I just think it's really odd you ended up with a 557830...

Goodness a TearaWixor what's a guy to do?

Thanks for the C&P. That is a poorly built filter but I kind of like the style of the car.

They're both almost great.

If the pleat spacing was even all the way around, it would have been a great filter.

If the car had another 50hp, it would have been a great car.

Why is the OP using an el cheapo aftermarket oil filter on such an awesome car?
