Anybody ever use Wix brand oil filters? I thought I had one more from Rusty,
but I didn't, so I picked one up at the corner auto store. It's a Wix 51385,
and I am not confident that it is the right one. The Mann filter I had in
there has an inner diameter ring at about the half way mark in the
I don't know if the application is correct, but Wix
brand filters are commercial grade filters used by a
lot of industrial engine OEMs, so you should be OK
from that standpoint.
I used thousands of Wix filters in generators and
industrial engines over the years without a problem.

I don't know
Brian,
That's the right filter.
IMHO I'd use it in a pinch and Order a Mann from Rusty PDQ then change
over to the Mann as soon as it arrives. No need to do an oil change when you
do it. Just the filter and add oil that will be trapped in the filter
when you
do the change.

Wix are the only filters I've seen locally that actually have a wound
bypass filter instead of a wad of gin trash. Works better. However,

I've used them in other apps, and they are top-notch. In non-MB apps, I
will use their filters (also sold as NAPA Gold IIRC) preferentially (esp
air and oil).
For what it is worth, Wix is made by Dana, the axle/differential people.

Ah. All I think of when I hear Dana is the legendary Dana 60 differential
found behind manual shift Hemis and 440 six-packs. You know, as teenagers,
there are some things that you long for but can't have since you're broke.
Though, I always thought the extra weight of the beastly Dana 60 was
