Who makes this filter

[Greg]

It's a NAPA ProSelect filter, guy said it was WIX but something about it seems Purolator-y. Don't all WIXs use the upfront bypass?

I took that exact filter off my Tribute about 3 weeks ago. From what I've read here, they are good filters.

all napa's are Wix's

Wix makes the NAPA filters.

Look on the side of the filter - should say "Affinia". That means it's part of the Wix family.

I thought they were being made in China now, but perhaps (hopefully), I'm wrong.

They are made by wix. They don't have as many pleats as the Golds have but they are good for 3-5k easy.

Looking thru the center hole it looks like a Chinese made 'Parts Plus' filter that I bought online. I'm sure it will be fine for a 3 to 5K OCI.

The ProSelects often do not have the up front bypass.

This one is Made in Mexico.

Wix, but it's not to be confused with napa gold/wix brands. AFAIK it has less media, maybe even a different cheaper media. though thats a hunch as I have never cut one open.

WIX makes all the filters for Napa and CarQuest.

Exactly. The Napa ProSelect is their bargain/cheap filter made for them by Wix. The ProSelect line replaced the old Silver line. ProSelect and the Napa GOld are both Wix made but the Napa Gold is the Wix retail equivelant.

your right,less media and thinner media I've dissected many,there a 3-5k filter max IMO.
