I don't remember the old one, but I like the blinged out trash panda.

That's the page that pops up...I'll read it again, skimmed through it, missed something I guess unless Fram is the best filter made nowadays lol. ...There's 3 efficiency claims for the WIX or guesses rather. There must be more to it..something to do later.

The biggest reason to run a WIX is their QC is outstanding. Consistency is what I want. I want the same filter every time I get one. I can no longer trust that with Motorcraft. The Wix Pro-Tec/Microgard is 99% efficient at 25 microns. The WIX XP is designed to run strictly with full synthetic oil, and I don't know if that plays into its different media? I am satisfied with the regular WIX media. The MC filters were rated at 94% at 20 microns, as found on BITOG.



To put this into prospective... https://www.commercialfiltrationsupp...n-ratings.html

Noobs... we'd still love you if you were the color of a Baboon's Azz. Whatever you choose is good.

Should we really trust a table that misspells height?

It's a youtube guy that made it. He just gathered the data and made his own chart.
