Default Wix oil filters

I have read good things about Wix oil filters on Bob is the oil guy. Do any of you guys use Wix oil filters ? If so, How do you like them.

TIA....

Default WIX and NAPA

I use NAPA Gold filters made by Wix for NAPA. No issues so far, but I only put about 3500 miles on between changes.

I use them on my wife's 350z and my truck, but like above, I change my oil every 3k. They always come out looking clean and have good oil pressure. I don't know what else you may be looking for in terms of how they are?

Wix consistenntly scores high on filter evaluations. They are excellent. NAPA Gold are made by Wix. Unfortunately Wix is a division of Dana corporation, which like many American parts suppliers is in financial trouble. I hope they survive.

I switched to WIX filters when I started having problems with AC filters leaking on some of my other cars. For a while, I think AC was trying to make the mounting plates too thin, and they would not seal well.
Now I use WIX on all my cars, including the Z06.
