You are welcome

Very odd filter indeed. Who makes them?

Looks like a Mann base plate.

car51, as usual, great C&P. Very unusual filter though. What is the groove for in the canister?

Nice work, 51. Weird looking filter, not something I would buy, but it certainly looks it performed as intended.

Strange looking filter..

Doesn't WIX make Napa Silver and Gold filters? I know the Gold is 100% WIX made.

Indeed, for several reasons. Obviously the coo, UK. Also though, not a typical/spec 1334 (9688/3593a application) oil filter. Typical US Wix 1334 has a sealing gasket more central to outlet/mounting hole, a wider filter. Topic filter has sealing gasket on outer edge diameter of filter, like the 7317 applications. And the no endcap type construction, not seen US Wix or Wix 'made fors'. So unique. Not sure where the Napa seller/supplier dug this one up, but out of the norm for sure.

Thanks for c&p.

 

[53' Stude]

Yeah, i could NOT find a date code either

I used one of those back around 20 years ago on mine and a friends car (we both had Hondas). I think it was a Rockhill filter brand that bumper to bumper had as the cheaper wix, but I remember looking at a Napa Silver and they were the same then also. I even cut it open and to my recollection was exactly the same as the pictures. Weird that Wix uses this filter for the silver and a totally different construction on the gold.

I decided to stay with a wix or purolater back then as they gave me a more confidence than an odd ball filter.

Looks like it did its job - is that rust under the base plate?
