Ölfilter
Oil Filter, Replacement, Each
Another quality oil filter similar in design to the Purolator. It has metal end caps on the filter element, a standard nitrile anti-drainback valve, and a seemingly good flow. They are manufactured by the Dana corperation. These appear to have a depth gradient filter element, which uses cotton fibers to progressively trap smaller particles as they get deeper in the filter. This helps maintain good flow as the filter gets plugged.
The WIX filter is a very good filter. I use them for years on all my vehicles and have never had any issues.
In independent testing of these filters, the WIX consistantly rated one of the highest.

WIX oil filters in your vehicle's lubrication system play a vital role in protecting your engine from premature wear--every moving part in the engine requires clean oil! WIX oil filters trap more dirt--45 percent more than the leading national brand--which means that they keep filtering long after the competition has completely quit. WIX Filters patented the first spin-on oil filter in 1954 and has been at the forefront of oil filter technology ever since. Canister style oil filters feature strong full-metal base plates to prevent leaks at the double seam under severe driving conditions. They also offer glass-enhanced media that improve the filters' ability to catch and hold engine-damaging dirt. Keep your engines running cleaner for more miles with WIX oil filters.
