The filter element can make a difference like a cheap paper vs. synthetic media, some can catch smaller metal particles but I personally dont think its that big of a deal. I use fram or purolator just because thats the closest thing to me when I change the oil.

Is wix a good company? Seriously just from looking at a supertech and fram side-by-side the supertech looks so much more well-made.

WIX is all I use on my car. They don't spend much on marketing, but their filters are absolutely top notch.

Looking at a Fram box and a WIX box you would think that Fram is the better quality filter, but that's not the case.

not very much of your oil actually goes through the filter very often.
