I'm looking for a Wix#51372. My local CarQuest dealer claims that CarQuest#85372 is the same filter and is made by Wix.
Thoughts?

Yes a search would have showed same filter, just with CQ logo on it.
they have two a red and blue version with there red equivalent to a Napa Gold and the Blue equivalent to a Napa Pro Select.

As I recall they have a "red" and "blue" line; one is top shelf and one is mid-line in quality. The Carquest top of the line is made by Wix to what would essentially be the same as "gold" in the Napa line. Both made by Wix, AFAIK. Use with no hesitation.
Per the direct Wix interchange guide, they are cross-referenced; your dealer is correct.

I would not use a Napa pro select (or eq) with the rubber combo valve. These are much worse than OCoD in my estimation. The combo valve is a garbage,flawed design. Std wix are good.

I agree...that is a bad design IMO

In my sizes, carquest are definitely wix and there are two grades, red and blue.

Yep ... leery of the "combo valve" design.

there good filters..
Actually, it is the other way around. The Reds are the equivalent of the ProSelects, kind of bottom tier. The Blues are top tier, on par with the Golds.

The carquest across the bridge in little town carries red, blue, but mostly wix stuff. They give me price break, as I just got a case of 51356 for my 03' civic for like 69$
Those WIX 51356 also work on the newer subaru N/A 2.5 - for those looking for a bigger filter thats fits NP.
I would say yes that it is as it has the affinia symbol on the filter. Very good filter, right up there with a napa gold.
That's good to know you guys. I can't always find an O'Reilly's on the road, usually can find a Napa store, but Carquest is everywhere in some parts of the country.
I rarely use my local Carquest as they are geared to shop deliveries and the shelves are pretty bare.
I need my WIX fix.
