Maybe just ser it as a reminder. Its been well established knowledge that wix is a superb product.
Wix already provides the spec for all to see.
They actually just use the 2/20 6/20 for all now. So many of there filters are filtering at greater than stated. No body will complain about that.
They have strength and durability and great flow abilities as well as stellar filtration
You won't find plastic or cardboard in a wix/ Napa gold.

That is a very telling flick. Very true too. Not much left to say after seeing a side by side comparison.

Agreed. Some of it was worth watching, but a lot of it was pure [censored].
"I counted the number of pleats on both, and again more pleats means more surface area which means better flow and more filtering area. The Fram filter has 35 pleats while the Wix filter has 61 and that's [censored] near twice the amount of media, if you ask me"
... so what?
- How thick are the pleats?
- How wide are the pleats?
- What is the overall surface area?
... and since we're talking # of pleats - what if I double the pleat count again and kept the thickness and surface area per-pleat the same? At what point do I have so many pleats that additional filter material becomes a restriction?
- Does 61 pleats really filter any better than 35? If so, how much, and is it a significant figure?
I call shenanigans.
.. Also, that guy sounds incredibly condescending throughout the video.

Thanks, I will never buy a Wix product again since they allow their name to be put to that. About as ignorant and biased as it gets.

I sincerely believe that both of you guys are really cool, good guys. So... Be able to disagree but not personal. I know its hard to do at times. I stand on level ground with ya on that. Not preaching to y'all
You both are very smart and add A LOT to any discussion on here. I appreciate that a lot
why thank ya sir. Your a good fella too.
I suddenly just want to cry.

Wix sure does a fine job with the manufacturing process as shown in the flick. I bet you are super impressed huh?
Great American company with superb quality control!
Seriously, WIX does make some great filters. I have been looking at their GOLD oil filter for possible future use. I am currently using a WIX fuel filter on my truck.

Thats all good info to know. Woulda been helpful to me when I was researching all the terminology and all, just to know what the heck ya'll were talking about. But it doesn't help with phrases like up to such and such figure or the, now famous, at greater than such and such.

That's all covered in the advanced training video, where the key to understanding 'mathematical spookiness' is relieved.
This helps show why efficiency of "particles >20 microns" and "at 20 microns or greater" are pretty much the same thing.

That doesn't cover how to debunk the trick spooky terminology some companies use to try and plant false beliefs into the heads of the gullible.

LoL ... yeah, Ok. These companies wouldn't make false claims today due to threats of lawsuits from competitors (or non-believing BITOG dudes). Maybe you could get rich if you hired a good lawyer and sued them over false advertising. Could be some "Easy Money" ... then you could go by "Big Daddy Easy Money".
No thats not my style. Besides they cover themselves with language left open to multiple possibilities.
How'd you like the flick I added a few posts above? I thought it was very informative.

The video SirTanon posted was best ... everyone should watch it 2 or 3 times to fully understand spooky oil filter stuff.
What they say means only one thing ... it's people who don't understand it that think it means all kinds of spooky stuff.
