I was in at the local UAP/NAPA store and there on the counter was a
Wix oil filter, reputedly (according to this list) the best.
When I said that I hadn't known that they carried them there, the guy
informed me that the UAP/NAPA oil filters are in fact Wix in disguise.
Apparently Fram wouldn't supply UAP/NAPA with oil filters with
UAP/NAPA written on them, so they switched to Wix when they wanted to
start selling "their own" brand.
There was also a nice display with Purolater, Fram, and UAP filters
with removable tops, and you can certainly see the difference.
Here's the best part: I asked whether he could get me a Wix cartridge
for my TR3 and he had 3 on the shelf! It also was clearly superior to
the Unipart one I just bought. (It cost more too.)
