What’s the difference between “made in USA” and “product of USA”?
The AC Delco says product of USA?
I might be wrong, but I think Made in the USA refers to all of the filter. Product of USA is most of the filter.
Someone may correct me, or explain it better.
@@WhipCityWrencher correct
@@Gsxr2001boy Thank You!
I wonder if 'product of the USA' really means 'originally of the USA' or 'came (or invented) in the USA . So, originally it was made in the USA, then sold out to another country, maybe for cheaper labor, or worse the whole product was sold or given to another country. In other words it could mean origin was USA, then some other country, like China (with their 1.5 billion people leaching off our 330 million), took our jobs, and maybe our whole product.
I think it means much or most of it is USA products, but assembled in another Country..
Wix always has been the best in my book. I use NAPA Gold filters which are made by Wix. I have used them for over 60 years and NEVER had a failure.
Yep and Napa platinum is Wix XP , great stuff
The Wix media is definitely designed for longer life, and improved filtration and flow. But bottom line, it is a personal preference.
Thanks for your feedback!
I've used Wix oil filters on several different cars over the past 15 years and have never had an oil related engine problem. One car just past 202k miles. Runs like new, no smoke, noise or oil usage.
Same for me but with super tech from Walmart. 🤷♂️ they all do the same thing
My choice is WIX. Kindly compare WIX with VIC and then share with us
Oil Filter Friday,
Watch a New Automotive oil filter inspection video every Friday on this UA-cam channel.
Thanks! Love the insight.
More pleats or less pleats and better filter.
Now that is the question?
Or is it how often one changes Oil Filters and Oil?
But I do know one thing for sure! I will never run any Oil Filter & Oil 20,000 miles. No matter what any brand want to put on the outside of its box.
But I'll keep right on watching every Friday. Maybe one day there will be a Oil Filter Play Off! For best Oil Filter of the YEAR! I am not joking or being a jerk. I've only watched 3 of your oil filter video's. I would love to see the Wix XP go up against Fram XG "gold".
Thanks Again WCW.
I use WIX XP 57899xp oil filter an Castrol Edge Advanced Full Synthetic 5w20
An a WIX Air Filter. On my
Ram 2500 4/4 HEMI
Thanks for sharing👍
Wix XP for me also. 8 inlet holes and round holes inside equal better flow. NAPA platinum same filter which I just ordered 5 on that sale you told us about not long ago. Appreciate all you do!
Thank You!
and thanks for the feedback🙏😊
Is there any oil filter out there that has a synthetic medium ,upper bypass valve ,silicone anti-drain back valve ,holes in the center core instead of louvers and last but not least the coil spring?
That's the filter I would like to find for my vehicle with a good micron rating.
I haven't opened them all but I can't find one, manufacturers are going away from coil springs, and base-end bypass valves, and the filters vary from one size to another. Getting an oil filter with all the components you listed is hard to find and the filters seem to be changing every day which makes it even harder.
Would have been a closer media compared with normal wix. Wix xp has a synthetic long interval vs standard. I put the XP with Amsoil oil filter.
What’s the best filter that has all synthetic media? Wix Xp, Royal Purple, Amsoil, Fram Ultra Synthetic??? All of these look very similar inside. I don’t like the paper media in most filters. I like the synthetic cotton style.
My choice would be the Napa Platinum, the Best bang for your buck, occasionally they go on sale, and if you follow this channel you'll know when.👍🙏😊
@@WhipCityWrencher Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Other than the 8 inlet holes, why did you choose the Wix over the Delco? Everything else seemed to be better about the Delco, just a preference thing?
I like a strong screen-backed synthetic filter media.
If you want more sq. in. of filter media then the ACDelco is the way to go between these two.
@@WhipCityWrencher Didn't the guy say the Wix filtered 21 microns, where the Delco filtered 30? Maybe the synthetic filters better, but it was Short on pleats! The Delco was something like 6" longer, & had a better Micron rating. Since I'm running a Silverado, I'll stick with the AC.Delco, just incase something fails. And 5000 mile oil & filter changes!
AC Delco Gold is basically a Mobil 1 filter ,both are made by the same supplier, sometimes the same stamping too
Not any more Mobil oil filters are being made by Mann and Hummel
@@WhipCityWrencher basically WIX after Mann & Hummel took them over ,WIX is actually a decent made filter
@@daewooparts I agree, I would take the Wix XP over the Mobil.
I noticed some wix xp filters use a wire mesh backing and some use this plastic mesh backing on the filter media. I wonder if one is a newer design and do all the filters come with the same mesh or do some come with metal mesh and some with plastic?
I think the newer ones are made with a Polymer/plastic mesh/screen backing.
Another good one Whip!!!
Thanks!👍🙌😊
I'd choose the Wix
Your welcome. Love the videos.
Nice job!
I'm inclined to go with the AC Filter over the WIX XP. My only hesitation is the stamped spring.
My usual theory is the heavier the filter, usually the better made.
Thanks,
Wix skimped out on the base plate😒 . Most of the extra weight for the ACDelco was in the base plate.
@@WhipCityWrencher AND, that weight has NOTHING to do with any better oil filtration...
It is good to see AC Delco stepped it up a little bit. In the past I considered AC to be the worst filter on the market.
It depends on who built the AC Delco filter ,they also have EU& Australian made Delco filters ,but they are hard to find in the states ,some are OEM exclusive too
@@daewooparts AC at one time had good products. I assume for the last 25 years GM's bean counters have worked their magic and turned AC into dollar store quality.
@@jamesrichardson559 yup ,especially the PF with the (E) at the prefix, those are junk 'Champ ' filters
Good review. Agree wix xp.
Thank You!🙌😊
WIX a Purolator are the same because they're both owned by Mann
Thanks Whip I’ll stay away from AC delco higher priced for cheaper or same as supertech MT or motor craft fl500s for my Yukon
JMHO but the ACDelco's are pretty much the same as the SuperTechs
So motor craft are good oil filter? AC delco no good?
They are both made by Champ labs now and in my application a 2016 Yukon I held and inspected both and they were identical at my local Walmart. The super tech MT is a couple of dollars cheaper and it has a blue silicone ADBV and AC delrubber
Motor craft in my opinion is very could for around 5.00 and comes with silicone ADBV. If Supertech is out I will use motor craft even on GM. As Whip says for a little more I would use Fran Ultra but I only use filter for 5k OCI and that would be a waste unless I use the Ultra for 2 OCIs just my thoughts
WIX for the win!
I’d take the wix , I don’t have much faith in anything AC Delco.
Wix makes a pretty good oil filter.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi friend as always great info and full watch 👁️👃👁️
Thanks for the visit😊👍
Great video. Love all this diy stuff. Do you have any videos on torque wrenches? I’m not sure what some good brands are
Just this one where I use a Harbor Freight torque wrench and don't let the price fool you they work Good. ua-cam.com/video/_v6AsStvor0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
i like that you are cutting apart the filters, so that us gearheads can see what is inside. but can you do us a favor? please stick to all metric measurements, or all USA measurements. THANKS!
Sorry,
I'm an old dog and old dogs have a hard time learning new tricks. I feel comfortable measuring the way I measure things.
@@WhipCityWrencher That's just a nice way to say that you're just plain stubborn, and refuse to do what the rest of the world does -- which is use the Metric System.
A child can see the difference in the way the 2 math sytems are so different, and that the Metric System is superior when making mathematical comparisons.
There's no doubt that you've "tested" more oil filters than anybody else, but the "tests" aren't accurate enough to be significant. "They look the same" doesn't mean ANYTHING, which is why accurate measurements are important.
NONE of the filter manufacturers give the customer an actual "Micron rating" that can be compared head-to-head with the other brands -- because they DON'T WANT THE CUSTOMER TO KNOW the actual differences.
It's great that you cut these filters open so we can see what's inside, but your description of the innards is rather haphazard. ;>)
Your scale measures In grams and millimeters -- you should use them -- and lose your ridiculous obsession with the coil spring, which most manufacturers DO NOT USE -- because it's NO BETTER than the stamped steel spring at holding the filter's guts in place for the life of the filter.
Regarding those Anti-Drainback Valves -- almost all of the modern, high-quality, long-life oil filters have a red/orange (SILICONE) ADBV -- and a few have BLACK valves, which the customer is left to wonder what the ADBV is actually made from.
I suggest that we eliminate the guesswork, and ALL BLACK ADBVs be described as "rubber" -- so customers can TELL AT A GLANCE if it's a Silicone valve.
thanks for sharing!
Your Welcome🙏🙌😊
Between the 2 of them, I would choose the Fram Ultra Sythetic over them. My second would be the Wix, though...lol
too many law suits with Fram, that should tell you something
AC Delco is tried, tested and approved by GM, they are confident putting those in their new vehicles. I have never heard of them failing. However, if you have a GM vehicle and it's still under warranty you better be using ACDelco to avoid losing that warranty. After your warranty is up feel free to use and garbage you want to save a few dollars on. If you want to compare vehicle manufacturers oil filters then compare ACDelco with Mopar and Motorcraft. All the other crap is just aftermarket.
Thanks,
SHOULD BE Correct, we would hope…...!,interestingly my Dodge Dealer uses PERFORMAX OIL FILTER with conventional OIL 5aw-20MOPAR , IN program SERVICE FOR MY 4 CYL/2015 Journey…….. thouhg , PERFORMAX now MADE iN USA ….DIST BY SOLUS, ETC.
@@happyman9612 thanks, what is your findings & thoughts..? ??? Not sure I understand the locations in ACDELCO, ETC. I occasionally use **PF46 E in my 2007:Canyon 4 Cyl(* I generally used NAPA GOLD, R Purple,PUROLATOR boss Oil filters , with MOB1 lately).. Interestingly, used VALVOLINE SYN/ House Filter most of 120,000 miles plus…before moving to HELENA Valley MT ( severe dust/ also)….
Informative share! Thanks!
Thanks, Ella 👍🙏😊
Id take a wix any day over other filters
Thanks for watching and your feedback👍
Wix ain't what it used to be lately there cheaper inside
Long shot but hoping to get input from someone, wix xp 57620xp, k&n hp-4003 are recommended for a 6.7L cummins deisel. Neither these or many other filters for diesel have an anti drain back valve while some cheaper brand filters do. Why is this.
I dont own a diesel but from what I heard the diesel engines have their own anti-drain back valves in the engine itself.
@@WhipCityWrencher based on what? I've been looking all over for any sort of insight and haven't been able to find anything on it.
@@CodyTheMan23 Sorry, I meant Bypass valve
If your filter is mounted vertically you probably dont need an anti-drain back valve.
Did the Wix have a wire backing?
The plain Wix does not. The Wix XP had a wire screen backing, and it looks like they are going to a plastic screen backing, at least they did on this oil filter. I have to open up some more to know for sure.
Thanks for watching 👍🙏😊
Imagine my surprise when I found out Wix filter for my GM engine in my '89 isuzu Trooper is now made in chyna....
Yep,
The Japanese-made vehicles might not go well with Chinese oil filters!
Amsoil Signature Series 10w30, Motorkote, and K&N Oil Filter is a tough combination to beat.
Use the Amsoil filter also.
Many thanks for your efforts -
✊🏻👍👌🙏🙏🙏
You're Welcome!
and Thank You for watching👍
Need to redo your filters on purolator, Wix and Napa. I cut two putrolator one PL14459 apart bought same time. Notice box colors different. Part no the same. I going outside seal change from telflon as shown on box to a Nitril. Backflow was silicone smaller Pleats reduced from 60 to 55. Grain hole 8 to 6 smaller pressure valve not same. Can color different. It’s like they used components From 5000 mile in the 15000. Mann Hummel bought Wix and Wix made filters for Purolater and Napa The product does not match picture on box. Check for your self. You have the old units including 5000 Mile. I have concerns
Hi Joseph,
I'll have to check that out, Thanks!
Maybe I'm mistaken, but the WIX I've bought have never looked like that inside. The pleating. Maybe it's different per filter? I use the XP57060 I believe. For an 08 silverado. Who knows. Wix has always done right for me and the ac delco available store level in my area is their cheap version and those things suckass
You probably have the metal screen backing. I can't say for all the Wix Xp's as I haven't opened them all, but I think the filters being made now have the plastic screen backing.
If you haven't already check out this video.ua-cam.com/video/H6hEBYsGnRY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
How do you know the AC Delco filters suck ass. Is it just your opinion or do you have factual data to back up your claim?
@@davidpettengill914 he said the cheap ones available in his store by him are trash referring to the better ac delving version is better but they don’t carry it I instantly understand what he wrote clear as dayy
Which one is better? A he filter or she filter? And how would o know which filter is a she or a he?
I think they are all she filters. lol
@@WhipCityWrencherThen how do they reproduce if they are all female?
They are Hermaphrodite, LOL
Here in NM WM the funny thing is the same filter PF63F delco is $8 the ac ultra guard $9 and the supertech mT $5.50 a deal for the same filter with blue silicone ADBV and motor craft fl500s aroubd $5
Out of those 4, the Motorcraft is probably the better buy. How much do they charge for the Fram Ultra at your Walmart?
@@WhipCityWrencher today xg19575 $9 usually 10
Thanks sir at least we know what our hard earned dollars are buying thanks to your channel
@@clydeespinosa6286 You mean the XG10575, it goes for the same price at my Walmart too.
Where did you get the efficiency for the WixXP?
I don't remember and I can't find it now , but I post it when I do. I believe most of the Wix Xp have the same micron rating
Just did a quick search and found it at Summit racing, it's probably listed on some other sites as well.'
@@WhipCityWrencher the numbers listed are smallest particle or nominal, I was looking for the absolute efficiency.
@@vidyanandmohabir915 O'Reillys list it at 99% at 35 microns
The efficiency for six synthetic,is abysmal.it's something like 50%@20 micron.the delco..98%@25 to 30 microns. Napa platinums,also a wix synthetic,is assumed to be the same.
What was the PSI on the ACDelco?
I Dont know what the ACDelco bypass valve PSI is. Sorry,I couldn't find that information.
One thing I don't see in any of the hundreds of filter analysis videos... What, if anything is under the label sticker? Could they be covering up additional mfg markings that could be a clue to who or where it's actually made?
Nope, nothing there.
How is it that you measure everything except one of the most important? You measure the length of the filter media and the number of pleats but not the width or more importantly the thickness. If you have a really thick material then of course you are going to have fewer (not less) pleats.
I did measure the width
@@georgeorwell126 If that's the case, I did start measuring the filter media but the videos won't show up till the end of next month.
@@WhipCityWrencher 👍
The blue ac/delco filter's are cheap.just the median in a can.
Purolator! That's all.
Purolator Boss is a well-made oil filter
Correction! The wicks is actually 35 µm filter. Just contacted their customer service.
You are probably right.
But this video is almost a year old. At the time I made the video they had a 21-micron rating on their website.
Something tells me that the plastic backing on the WIX would slow oil flow= not good.
I dont think it would be a problem it's a plastic screen with lots of holes. I show a better example of it in a video I made for today here's the link.ua-cam.com/video/H6hEBYsGnRY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
Thanks for watching and your feedback👍🙌😊
@@WhipCityWrencher The more recent video is an Apples to Apples comparison. I was referring to oil flow between the same media, but 1 w/ the plastic mesh attached & 1 without the plastic mesh. It would make sense that any foreign material attached to the media would slow oil flow compared to the same media w/o the mesh. Especially, when comparing in microns.
@@asrealasitgets765 Oh Okay,
This is just my opinion, but I think if you had two identical filter media one with the screen backing and one without. The one without the screen should have a little better oil flow, but would it really matter? I doubt it.
IMHO, the louvers, and inlet holes, size of the filter will have a bigger impact on oil flow than the plastic screen mesh.
Thanks for your feedback.👍😊🙌
Y’all are overthinking this. Just use a high quality FULL synthetic oil, FRAM filter and good to go 20,000 miles, unless towing or taxi etc…
I wouldn't use any oil for 20,000 miles.
Filter is a filter use it most cars only last 200k miles
