This is more of a gripe, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Looking at the PF63 and PF64 equivalents sold at Walmart, I find myself looking at their pricing and kind of agreeing with them, since Walmart's prices tend to mirror the market in general or do better (i.e. lower price) for nearly any item. The only notable exception I've seen and keep seeing is the Wix XP. They tend to run around $21-$22 each. Any idea why the Wix XP commands such a premium at Walmart?

WIX must think they are awesome now that they bumped the efficiency up to 99% @ 23u.
I didn't look extensively, but one to fit my

Go to an AAP and pick up Carquest Premiums instead, they're fully loaded and cost 10 bucks. 99.5% @ 20microns, Silicone ADBV and O-ring, no silly louvers that can possibly not be fully open, just open holes in the center tube.
I agree completely. Just wondering if the XP is made from unobtainium or something like it.

Nope, just paying for the name. Which doesn't mean much of anything anymore since they were bought out by M+H
I stopped buying Wix when I discovered, through this board, house brands at AZ and OR, STP extended and MG selects are just as good.
Those aren't sold by Walmart. It's a third party selling and shipping. You're probably paying $10 for the filter and $12 for the free shipping.

I just bought a Wix XP 57502XP for $14.06 from Amsoil. I was going to get the EAO oil filter, but it was out of stock. Must be having issues with manufacturing?
They were made by Champion Labs, which is now shut down due to the parent company (First Brands) bankruptcy.
My bad..... So EA oil filts will be a problem going forward....... Not good. I know of the first brands thing. But was not aware of the Amsoil EAO being part of it. I guess I'll be doing Wix for awhile
