Do the wix XP filters normally come with wrapped in plastic, or at least over the open end of the filter?

No, where was it made?

 

[hunterdan]

I didn't look. I was just curious because these ones didn't have any type of wrap on them and it struck me as kind of odd. I bought a 57899xp and 57060xp. Wasn't sure if the bigger 57899 was going to fit, so wanted to have to normal on standby just in case. The 57060xp looks terrible, paint is flaking off all around the outer edge and I'm reluctant to use it.

 

[hunterdan]

This is what it looked like. It's also a mexico made filter. The other one is a USA made filter..




I'm not installing this filter. I'm going to pick up a carquest EP to have on hand in case the larger filter does not fit. Honestly, just tempted to send both back and pick up 2 of the carquest... Or keep the one wix as a flush filter...

 

[Travis8352]

Yeah that thing looks terrible

They already make one with 100% synthetic media, comparable to the FE2.

can you post that? thanks

Made in China/or Vietnam ... I've cut one these filters open awhile back for a peak inside, but don't remember what I seen. I'll have to get another one an take a look at it for arguments sake ...

I’m currently running that P85372 filter on my 2500 6.4 and there is plenty of room for it for both installation and removal.

Vietnam by PGI or some 3 letter company.

On the 1500 5.7 the electric steering gear is in way for normal installation.

It'll fit. I just installed one on my 2019 classic. It's not as easy, but it's not hard either.
Technically I'm running the wix 57899xp, but it's the same size filter.

@Govtman
The Carquest is hardd to find at stores. Ship to home might be easier.
The Premium is good for 10K and has the same micron rating.

Carquest Premium Oil Filter 85372 Vs Mopar MO-339 for 6.4l

Carquest 85372 Synthetic blend media provides 99.5% efficiency at 20 microns Mopar -338 - original MO-899 is the larger option and is the size of the Carquest I can not find the efficiency rating The Carquest is $10 and is built like a tank. I've found my replacement for the FRAM Ultra...

Exactly. Come in from front and it works. Funny, I just changed the oil on my 19 classic today with FE2.

I’m seeing a slight increase in oil pressure at idle 29 vs 31 psi, but maybe within the margin for error.

I came across this sale ad this morning.

 

[Yardbird]

I guess the filters are going on sale now since motor oil is in short supply. Word is Walmart is running really low on stock.

I got three jugs of PUP delivered from Walmart around a week ago. Their ad said short supplies. Must have been. The oil deliveries came from two different stores.

 

[Curmudgeon]

I'm showing the same price but all Puro Boss oil filters are showing Out Of Stock, in-store or local delivery, or shipped.

I could give away all my oil filters for FREE if I didn't have any.

 

[Buddy]

I know Tractor Supply has some Boss filters.

 

[fitteenhundred]

I went back to their website to have a look. Now the $4 price is gone and back to regular price. But in stock haha. Whatever.
