Disappointing Car Filter for Automotive Use

Based on my observations, this filter did not perform well as it couldn't handle the grit on the roads. I had to replace it within weeks. The only good thing was it was easy to install. So overall, not worth the investment.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Failed to handle road grit

Wix Oil Filter Best Replacement Parts

The cost of this Wix 51045 is too high - $13 plus dollars. Sell it for $7.62 at an auto parts store. And what, please tell me, is a "used" oil filter?

Pros
  • Oil Filters & Accessories
Cons
  • Lots of Stuff

Metal tile from the factory!

The filter came with metal flakes on the base plate and O-ring. I don't like the idea of metal flakes getting into my engine's oil system. I will send it back and order another one. I will write another review when I have the 2nd filter. Update: The 2nd filter had no visible metal flakes. I ended up air quenching the first one until I felt good enough to install it on my truck.

Pros
  • Automobile
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
