WIX Racing Filters Spin-On Lube Filter

Ok

Expensive but it's a high quality filter

I use these filters on my mowers. Wix makes very good filters. The only oil filters I use. Excellent value .

These are ok oil filters. Some was made in the US others was made in Mexico.They both of good quality. Had one already that I had gotten from O'Reilly's. It was made in China.To me not as good. .

If you hunt around on the INternet, you can find several sources of rating for oil filters. For a typical car, you can find filters from $2-3 each, up to more than $20 for the same filter. Why the huge price difference, and what's the difference? Well, it turns out that those little filter cans are more complex than you might think. For low-end filters, the filter paper will just have pieces of cardboard glued to the top and bottom of the filter paper. Mid-grade and higher filters will have composite or even metal end caps to prevent the filter media from straying and blocking things. Wix has what is often considered the best bypass valve design, which prevent the engine of starving from a lack of oil if the filter becomes blocked. While not always the 'best' in every review, Wix filters are ALWAYS well above average in quality, as well as available at a decent price. In other words, they are always a much better than average filter at a good price. For example, a big competitor, whose name is Fr*m, makes a range of filters, from cheap $3-4 ones, to some of the best at around $15-20 per filter. The problem now you have to remember which Fr*m filters are good, and which are poor. With Wix (or NAPA Gold series made by Wix for NAPA stores), you never have to worry about which grade to buy, as they only make the good ones. As I said, they always rate well in every test (like a B+ to A- grade) and are always at a fair (generally $5-8) price.
