I was in the Auto Parts biz back in NJ and had an opportunity to see a
cutaway display of a Wix, Purolator, Fram & AC and the difference was
amazing. The Wix "can" is a much heavier gauge metal, all of the
flanges and inner assemblies were welded instead of crimped, it had much
more filtering media, had a real metal coil pressure relief spring
instead of the stamped metal butterfly assembly the others had... It
was just a much heavier duty piece. Pick one up and you'll notice the
weight. Wix is from a heavy equipment and semi truck background, and
their engineering shows it.
I can't seem to find them here in north Florida... Anybody know of a
source?
Thanks!
