We're cheaper than Filter1 - same filter. And, yes, Wix are excellent filters.

Couldn't find the original post of over a year ago but that post said DONOT run Wix Fuel Filters. All their other ones were OK but not the Fuel. Both of them. Sorry I could not find the original post.

I have run NAPA Gold labels at 15 and 30,000, and I was told they were WIX. No problems. Very satisfied.

I got the Racor filters (fuel and oil) from oilguard.com when I bought their EPS-20 system. Not changed out the fuel filters yet but the oil filter looked exactly the same and 3500 miles with no problems. I did notice the Ford oil filter had one patent number while Racor had 2, that was the only difference I saw.
