WIX media for 51372 versions

Napa NASCAR 91372

WIX website says oil filters are made of “Glass Enhanced” media good down to 10-20um. I found it specified in some other oil filter applications. They call it “depth” vs. “paper” media.

The website spec for the WIX 51372 says media is “paper”, 19um nominal filtering.

Napa web site said “T-03 Glass Enhanced Media” for the Gold 1372 (FIL1372) and NASCAR version (NFI91372) uses “T-52 Synthetic/Cellulose Media”. Both are made by WIX.

Does anyone know what is really used in each of these and the filtering capability of the media (particle size) ?

Interesting. All our rhetoric to date indicates that any Wix filter is identical to the NAPA Gold offering in every way except the "5" is knocked off the part number.

They are the same filter. I do not know why they have two different descriptions. They make all of Napa Golds in the Wix plant. So if I had to say I would go with the WIX website.
