Wix oil filt ?
In O'Reillys for some parts and they had Valvoline 10/40 on sale with a filter.
Filter is a MicroGard MGL51069, searching for it and it shows up as a Wix filter, just says made in US, no wording on the package about Wix.
Anybody us them?
Napa has the Wix filters that say Wix, these just say MicroGuard

Actually, NAPA's filters made by WIX are labeled as "NAPA Gold" oil filters. I don't believe they say they are WIX filters anywhere on the labeling.
P.S. But I have been using them on my cars for years....

MicroGard is their house brand. They used to be made by Purolater, then by Fram. Maybe both, depending on filter. Maybe they are currently being made by Wix? I dunno. Look at them both side by side; you should be able to tell. Or just buy the Wix; that's what I do.
