I saw these on Amazon and wondered if they are any good. Has anybody used one? They are supposedly made by Wix not that that means it is the same quality. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NBQQRU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

The last digits of the PN (33647) are the same as the WIX and NAPA fuel filter but there is no picture. If you look at other items from this vendor they show pictures of WIX filters with an Auto Extra prefix to a WIX PN. At a guess I'd say they bought a bunch of WIX filters and are reselling them but there is no way to tell without one in hand. Absent information it's not worth saving $12 on a item that generally needs changing every 20-25,000 miles or so. |

The Wix, NAPA, and Mopar filters appear identical. My guess is that they are all made by the same folks, Uro... who makes the Mopar filter. I think Wix gets them from Uro. I have seen other companies, Purolator for example, put a Mann filter in a Purolator box with a Purolator sticker on a Mann (obviously a Mann filter as the filter was clearly marked). This was before Purolator and Mann teamed up. This is just one example... |
