Default Oil Filters
This is just a thread to discuss which filters are made bu whom...IMO Wix is the BEST filter made ever...But if you are like me, you actually have to drive to Lakeland or Tampa to find an actual Wix Filter. However, Wix has contract agreements with other comapnies to rebrand their filters for auto parts stores...

So far I have found that Wix makes the NAPA Gold line of Filters and they also make the Carquest Blue line of filters...

I have also heard they make the Motorcraft filters, but am not exactly sure of that yet....

If anybody else knows of any other brands they use post it up so we know.

I'm with you, Wix is all that'll be on any vehicle I own or do maintenance on. Luckily, I work at O'Reillys so I get a little break on them. But they're the exact same as the Napa Gold filters. Haven't heard about them making Motorcraft though

I was originally going to run the Mopar but after doin a little research, I decided on Wix

Does O'Reileys have their own line of filters? If so, who makes theirs..?

EDIT: Reading now that Motorcraft is made by Purolator.....NOT WIX

I am changing the oil in my truck this weekend...I will be going to NAPA for a Gold Filter..too bad we all dont run the same filters and it would be cost effective to go in together and buy a master pack of NAPA Gold filters for our members...
