The Jegs/Summit comparison isn't a good one, because they tell you what brand camshaft, shifer, or carb you're getting. If you're observant enough, you realize that the 3 digit prefix is their manufacturer code.

With you oil filters, the sellers' ad specifically says they're selling you an 'Auto Extra' filter, even giving you an 'Auto extra' part number...if anything, it's like Purolator, and their off-brand, 'Power Flo' filters....
And the missleading pic of the WIX filter is what..... an "off-brand" pic ??

You see it your way and I see it mine.... Tomato..... Tomaato...

I've had nothing but excellent experiences with purchases on Amazon. I guess one can't take anything for granite though.

just got an email from Amazon. They're refunding my money and will be looking into the sales ad with the missleading picture.

figured that'd be the outcome. One of the excellent companies around but even on there you still have to pay close attention as you found out... Glad it's a good resolution for ya

I really don't think you're going to get any reply from Auto Extra since they KNOW they're doing some false advertising !
