One of the TikTok channels I follow said half the US still gets the Napa gold from wix. They flew in the Napa heads to address it. It was west coast east coast specific. What’s your favorite filter? What would you use on your vehicle
$12 is not to far off from what I pay if you add in the exchange rate for me in Canada. I can actually get a wix cheaper and it's made the same. Except I don't use much of either nowadays.
Damn, at my local Walmart (Chicago area) the super tech is $3.49. And on Amazon I can get the Denso, Purolator one, Bosch, Fram ultimate synthetic & Motorcraft for under $9.
@ not for long. And keep in mind property taxes, where I live are enough to make you fall over, and our healthcare system has more flaws than incentives.
Yes it is Mann+Hummel but the website says it's built at Wix factory in Mexico. And it has a Wix base plate, wish I could call it something else but site calls it a Wix and other evidence points to Wix.
I once used a filter gasket to hang a muffler after the band broke. Never broke! Lol
Oh I like that, muffler hanger just use an oil filter.👍
Most of my cars are Fords. Motorcraft filters are around $4 each.
Motorcraft are nice and for me to get one here it's about $23.00. Not kidding it's the Canadian way.

What would or use on my vehicle, I do use Purolator and Baldwin mostly.
@@crazybillsgarageI will have to look up Baldwin. After seeing your videos and a few other channels I’ve settled on purolator boss
8/12/2023 is before the changes were made that outsourced the NAPA Gold to China. The changes were made roughly Q2 2024.
Thanks Rick, it may take time for some of those to make it to where I live.
I use Napa Gold here in the Southeast U.S. $12 each.

Be nice to live in the land of non tariff and less taxed place like America. 😉

@dontderockmerizz3211 you speak the truth.🇨🇦😥
Wow $20 for oil filter..... No thanks....PurolatorBOSS $12 BOSCH $10 in the lower 48...
Canada the land of the poor since they charge us double for everything. 😥
$11.99 US at NAPA stores in the US
Plus you don't pay the dumb economy Levi and stupid tax we get, Crazy Canada.
This was a very rare occurrence of decent build quality for Mehico. If you cut open 5 in a row from Mehico probably would see some bad stuff.
You are very right on that, seems quality control is if it looks good on outside then ship it.😉
10.00 usd is enough! Purolator one is even less!?!
Thanks Loren, I can get a Fram extra gaurd for $10 Canadian here.
No wonder people go 30 k between changes 😖
It's the Canadian way.😅
I buy the Platinum 4100255 for my 5.3 GMC it is a Mann+Hummel filter. Please stop calling it a WIX. Thank-you.
Yes it is Mann+Hummel but the website says it's built at Wix factory in Mexico. And it has a Wix base plate, wish I could call it something else but site calls it a Wix and other evidence points to Wix.
It is way too expensive for what it is, there is a cheaper alternative for the same kind of filter.
I can get a Wix around here for $10. And the Wix is built pretty much the same. Thanks Bud.😉
