wix filters

[Dagny]

Where's the best place to buy wix filters?

 

[PhantomEB]

I buy them In cartons from Amazon then Oil from Walmart when on sale.

 

[toolmutt]

I get mine from RockAuto.

 

[Qualitytools]

I look up the WIX Part number that I need and shop around for the best price.

 

[djcslice]

Rock Auto. Parts Master, also available at Rock Auto, rebrands wix filters and usually puts a different prefix on the wix pn.

 

[paulsomlo]

I believe Napa Gold filters are made by Wix.

 

[Ign]

The Microgard stuff at O'Reilly is just mid-grade Wix (I personally don't really think of Wix as offering a "low" grade). The part numbers are essentially identical, too

Or on Amazon

THE BEST is to wait until your local NAPA, Carquest, Parts City does their bi-annual (spring and fall) filter sale. They're usually 50% off and even Amazon can't come close on my applications. I really stock up on the expensive ones like Dmax fuel filters (often go for $26-27 at these sales)

 

[Cruzomatic]

www.filter1.com.

I get mine there...I stock up on them for everything I own, over $50 get free shipping as well.

Rock auto as well.

I buy from Napa. I always miss the sales, and when I happen to catch them I'm usually not prepared to stock up and only grab a few.

The local Napa has “filter Friday’s” the first third Friday of the month. Half priced filters.
Napa gold is a rebranded wix.

 

[txvwnut]

They are you just drop the first number of the wix part number and that’s the Napa number.

Mann+Hummel (Wix's parent company) makes a few different quality levels of filters. The Partsmaster filter, O'Really? filter, and the NAPA Silver filter are all mid-level filters. True Wix and NAPA Gold filters are where it's at, IMHO. If you REALLY want to save on these filters, hit NAPA during a promo, AND ask for the "MP" (master pack) version of their Gold filter. (Example, my Ranger takes the Wix 51372, so I order NAPA 1372MP....) Same filter, sold in bulk packaging rather than individually boxed. (They are individually shrink-wrapped, though.) Lower price, and many NAPA stores will sell them individually, even though they are meant to be sold in 6 or 12 pack cases.
RockAuto gets 4.76 each, or 4.14 each for a 12-pack of 51372's, plus shipping.
I get a 1372MP for 5.03, and can walk across the street and have it in 2 minutes.

Any off-brand or white box auto part using a nationally-known part number (or derivative of it) is using it for easy identification/cataloging purposes, not to signify that they are made by that particular company. And even if they ARE being made/distributed by that company, they aren't the exact same product. NAPA's economy line Proformer Chassis parts use the Moog numbering system, but they don't come from Moog, and NAPA's premium chassis parts have their own numbering system, but come from Mevotech in Ontario, Canada, who also supplies other private label brands (of differing qualities, BTW) with parts using Moog-derived numbering....

They must not carry all PNs in bulk - I just looked for a 1213MP on the Napa site, but nothing comes up.

I bet they do and it's for their commercial customers. They would probably sell it to you if you asked for it instore. I know that is the way Carquest and AAP works. Their filters are labeled MP also.

Sorry not Wix but for any post-PH8A Ford apps or anything using M22 threads (like newer Hemis) I just order the Motorcraft FL820S on Amazon for $4 ea.

Sometimes these are an add-on item, sometimes not. If they are I once just ordered enough of that filter to hit the threshold.

I personally don't pay more than $4 per filter or $2 per quart of oil. If a complete oil change w 7 qts (as a common capacity for many newer gas trucks) costs me over $20 I'm doing something wrong.

WIX a good product, that's really all that needs to be said. My wallet does not make my decisions..

 

[PartsGuy]

Sorry, Paul, not all filters are offered in MP versions. The 1213 is a BMW cartridge filter, and probably not popular enough to warrant a master-packed version (from a bulk sales and inventory standpoint, not that there aren't a bunch of BMWs on the road....)

Doesn't surprise me - the last application for this filter stopped production in 1999.

 

[Hustler388]

I use to have a buddy at Napa that gave me some deals,now ya just have to try buy thru someones acc get the deeper deal. I then was buying bulk thru fleetfilter,they dont stock my Wix racing filter anymore, but after searching surprisingly RockAuto is cheaper w/ shipping than all the others.

Buying a case or 10 of the 51222R's = $16.50 each, compared to others at $20+

Like post above Wix doesn't manufacturer some of their filters,have it made to there specs etc, prob the same as other manufacturers too.

Just wish I could find deal on bulk racing oil,guess thats just part of it,lol

NAPA typically has a filter sale around this time of year. My local store advertises with a small sign on the door.

Farm filter sale or something like that. They're usually around 50-60% off.

It’s usually begining of March if I’m correct. They usually call lol 3 semis burn throug filters so I try buy lots when the sale is on.

Agreed with that last part if you have the luxury of time.

 

[gabeancounter]

I stock up once every 1-2 years and buy them from fleet filter.

I would buy in bulk if I could get my part numbers to come up, but I can not find it online. WL10060 and WF10245 for my ecodiesel.

I am going to have to keep an eye out for this, I signed up for the emails so that I can hopefully get a few of these since I use about 5 or so sets of the filters every year.

So far these are the best price, but shipping is killer. Do they ever offer free shipping? I signed up for the emails just to see.

 

[Certified Drunk]

You can buy FL820S at Walmart $7.14 for 2.

 

[Gone Boating]

I buy mine from Filter1.com. The prices are better if you're an established business.

 

[Jeepster04]

Like many others have said I typically stock up on Napa filters during their spring and fall 50% off sales. Ive accumulated so many filters idk if Ill use all of them before I die...

Nice!

Do they ever stock a 2-pack in stores?? Mine says not available for pickup, but w a $35 threshold for free shipping, not bad....

My stores are really bad about marketing this. The only way you ever know is a big banner sign out front. But I've never seen radio or mail ads so if you don't have line of sight to their storefront.....LOL

But of course many franchise owners are better about advertising.

I always just call and ask when I know it's getting close. They'll probably start in March and it seems that the different chains are staggered but always within 2-3 weeks of each other. Usually my Parts City (privately owned O'Reilly essentially) is first, then within a week or two is NAPA here. The Carquest 60 mi away used to do it also but they've been swallowed up Advance, at least here. Not sure if Advance participates?

 

[Ign]

See this, a couple members seem to suggest NAPA is March/Sept, and I last posted about Parts City in late April:

I believe Napa Gold filters are made by Wix.

Correct and so is Carquest

 

[malibu101]

On the Mann-Hummel manufacturing.....
Over the weekend a buddy came by to change his oil in my garage. He had a Purolator oil filter he got at Advance Auto.
I happened to notice on the box that it was made by Mann-Hummel.

Don't know what it means, just to add to this thread.

06Diesel, the Napa equivalents are 100060 and 300245 for those two filters. No MP on these, either. Just to clarify, the MP filters are only available for the most popular applications, numbers that a parts store would sell multiples of daily, or that fleet owners would likely have need for in large quantities.

To me, it means the Purolator filter my daughter's ex-boyfriend put on her Patriot last fall probably wasn't as big a piece of **** as I thought.
Mann+Hummel has a long history of making fine filtration products in Europe, and with their purchase of Wix recently, they have a better footprint here in the states. Finally, a good company with a solid reputation being sold to another good company with a solid reputation.....

I only worry about getting a quality filter in engines I keep oil in past 7,000 miles. A good synthetic and a good filter seem to last 10-15,000 miles. I haven't yet tested out centrifugal oil filter yet. But the trucks my moms drivers use in Africa have them they only reach civilization once every 6 months. Seemed neat to me. I will probably install one on my fj60 depending on if in use a 4bd1 engine or a lq9.
