I also use Wix filters , best filter on the market IMO .

I use either NAPA Gold or Wix depending on where I buy the filter.
I've been told Wix makes the NAPA filter. My preference has a lot to
do with the threading. The base of Wix filters is punched and threaded
into the body of the filter and I find it easier to start than the
brands that are punched outward, if that makes any sense.


Â* Makes sense to me . In fact , Wix makes NAPA Gold filters . IIRC the
Wix number for your Evo (and some Shovelheads) is a 51215 , the NAPA
Gold is 1215 . Back around 1999 or so some guys on the XL-List cut up a
bunch of filters to see how they compared . Fram was the cheesiest with
the least and thinnest filtration medium . Wix won over all , and I
haven't used anything else since .


Throughout the years, I have often seen comparison videos of oil filters
and Fram continuously ends up at the bottom. Wix, Mobile 1, Bosch,
Purolater usually on top as well as a few others depending who's doing
the test and what model filter.
