Got these filters as a Christmas present. I told them either Wix or Napa Gold. I opened them up and all 3 filters had the black spray paint on the base.
I guess the question is, is this a non factor or is this gonna be harmful to the engine? I’m assuming that paint isn’t designed to hold up to the conditions inside the engine, (hot oil and detergents in it). I’ve been a Wix user for many years. Not sure who I’d switch to now.
Just use them, or see if they’ll exchange them?
