You are correct WIX makes many off the same line and all those filters all share the exact design flaws. I was not aware they made the Fram and Purolators. If they do build them they are to the companies specs and not the generic WIX. WIX is not a terrible filter but you can get better for the same price.

Whatever outside color, whatever brand on sticker, guts are identical (for that style guts -- I believe WIX makes 3 different). Ask any WIX employee: identical silver canisters come rolling down assembly line. For a while they get painted orange and stuck with Fram stickers. Then exact same production shifts to white with Purolator stickers. Even make generic house brands like Sears and NAPA. If WIX filters were so terrible, wouldn't there be dead vehicles all over US? Probably 99% running one.

I never look at the bill (bad habit) so I am not even sure how much they cost...are the purflux available in local auto stores or is it another 5 stop journey to find them. > > mike To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: DMCForum-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Your use of Yahoo!
