[Healeys] Wix 51516XP oil filter

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

As a corollary to this topic, a question…..

If one has two filters identical in all respects except size, would the bigger of the two be better? ie, does size matter?

I only ask because I have latterly been using large filters, Mann W1130/1. Made in Germany.:-

MANN-FILTER Online Catalog Europe - Product Details Oil Filter W 1130/1 <https://catalog.mann-filter.com/EU/eng/catalog/MANN-FILTER%20Katalog%20Europa/Oil%20Filter/W%201130~1> 

Impossible with the original Lucas starter.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Simon

Don,

It makes absolutely no difference where the filter is made unless the manufacturer specifies different material in its manufacturing process. Absolutely every step of the fabrication is automated and made by robots except the step of lining up  the bottom part of the filter and I doubt an American can drop it in place any better than a Chinese. See a video on YouTube how Fram filters are made. 

Given the relatively low price of an oil filter, I would still change the filter every oil change.
