Great - will now install the Wix filter and move car into garage before possible hail hits.
Also, I googled the words "Wix" and "lookup" and in seconds was able to confirm that the filter provided me by the local parts shop is the correct one. Thanks, Brian On 6/6/07, Tom Hargrave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Rusty's always the best option & I always add oil filters to my orders, but it's hard to order just filters because of shipping cost. I believe WIX is equal quality.

I've not ever seen them locally, myself. I usually get the Hengst filters when I order from Rusty. I just ask for "oil filters" and trust that he sends good ones.
