and i was wondering if the quality was still there when i saw "honcho en mexico"....... i wonder what the next go-to filter is these days ? baldwin ? i guess it's time to stock up on filters again IF i can figure out what is the BEST brand out there........
" We offer two very different and distinct racing filter lines. For maximum flow and horsepower the lowest restriction pure racing media filters are recommended – oil (T-10) and air (T-66). However, when endurance and better engine protection are needed, WIX’s high efficiency endurance media filters are the correct choice – oil (T-71) and air (T-88)."
The supply chain has been so screwed up the past 3 years, you don't know what you are getting until you open the box and try to identify it.
Wix has repackaged filters made by others when they couldn't produce their own, had stuff made overseas, etc. I see premium filters from all over the world, including China.
just looked at the three i have left on the shelf, and they say "made in Gastonia, NC.", so that makes me happy. i bought my last batch from the "group buy" here.
