Thanks Pete! A great review for sure, I appreciate it!!
Hi Dan
You're Welcome, Thanks for the old Wix filter!👍
The late 1900s made me feel old, for some reason.
Late '70's to early '80's design. I used a lot of these then. Just about any modern filter is going to be miles ahead of these old ones. Cellulose has largely been replaced by either blended or synthetic media. In spite of the occasional 'quality' issues most of the major brand oil filters are all pretty well made.
My parents had a 1979 Ford Granada that looked exactly like that. Same color tan also with tan interior. Also, the Mercury Monarchs looked like that too, which my parents had a white with white interior.
👍
A lot of positive changes between the new filter and the old one.
That Ford Granada on the box is a 78-80 model. Granada went from round to rectangular headlights in 78.
Thanks, Gary👍
The truck is an 78 F150!
So nice of Dan. I usually like older vs newer but I would go with the newer this time. Nice sharing Pete, thanks. 👍 Have a great weekend! Merri :)
Thanks, Merri
Have a great weekend also👍
Thanks for the comparison. I don't buy oil filters if they have the "Cheese Grater" holes in the center tubes. Only the round holes. Less pressure drop with the round holes? Take care all.
Sometimes as applications age out they'll supersede or cross over applications for consolidation. Even though that new filter may not have the capacity of the old one, it's a better filter. You wouldn't believe the programs they have that track the sales and usage of every part number each quarter or year. They consolidate wherever they can or need to if a number starts slipping in sales to save costs. Those ends of the caps that hold the glue are called the wells. That old filter was 3 or 4 owners ago for Wix.
👍
In this case, the 4 decade old oil filter also acts as a time capsule. Great show again as always dear sir!
Thank You👍
So nice of Dan to send it to You! Interesting video! The old Wix is huge next to the new one. So much more filter media. Great comparison! 👍
Thanks Ella👍
@@WhipCityWrencher 👍😊
Pete,
Nice video! Appears to me that WIX made a good filter back then as they do today. The box art with the Ford LTD and Chevy truck is cool. I believe the LTD on the box is a 1979 or 80. Have a nice weekend!
Thanks, Kevin👍
Have a Nice Weekend Also!
Proof that older isn't always better!
I like the materials of the newer filter but I like the construction of the older one. And I think one poster is correct, mid to late 70's for that filter and back then no filters had an ADBV. or bypass valves. The newer one is probably smaller because it is more efficient and today's newer engines carry less oil.This just tells me that if you have a classic car, you need to change the oil every 3K because of the smaller capacity of the newer filters.
Hey whip more great info. Have a great weekend. 👍
Thanks, Christina
Have a great weekend also👍

I try and make an oil filter inspection video every Friday on this CZcams channel, Thank You!
My racimg buddies parents Big rig diesel repair place near me was using Wix in 1981 when I was a tiny kid.
Best filters on Earth
Why?
@@vincemajestyk9497 Ive bein using it for long time and my father use wix in his days , my trailblazer SS still running strong, also my other two trucks, there's wix XP and regular wix oil filter, xix XP oil filter good for advance fully synthetic oils and you can go 5000 Miles with no issues or complains, I use regular wix oil filter on my both trucks, also I use mobile 1 high mileage fully synthetic oil and I also use Valvoline high mileage synthetic blend, Napa gold and other oil filter brands made by same company with WIX, ,good stuff...
GM filter that mounted vertically perhaps? 👍
Those newer Wix Regular /Napa Gold used to show at 21-23 Microns at 99% compared to the Wix XP /Napa Platinum at 30-35.
Wow ! Just looking at the filter media on the old wix kinda shocked me ! definitely the new wix will do a better job filtering ! and has a ADV ! not sure why its smaller ! Interesting video all n all ! 👍
Thanks, Scotty👍
Like 59 full watch 👍
No barcode I'm thinking that's mid to late 70's filter. Somewhere in that time frame. New filter is definitely better in every aspect
Great info 👍
Thank You👍
Hi friend full watch 🐇
Great Video WhipCityWrencher, sometimes I want to buy current oil filters and hold them for years a
Thanks Wrenching👍
Is that a Ford Granada on the box? Those Granadas and Mercury Monarch's were sweet rides. The Lincoln Versailles was also built on that platform.
I guess the Granada's were the ride to have back then,😊
I thought it was an LTD🤣
Gteat analysis/observations, Whip. I wonder when mfgs started using anti drain backs?🤔 👍
That’s a Granada kiddo😂
"CAMP Granada" 😂😂🤣🤣
😊
I think the old one wins because it has a picture of a Granada! The truck on the other side looked like a mid 70's F100 but with a strange grill and headlights.
Could have been a Dodge truck
I have a 51042 made in Venezuela 2018. I'm going to cut it open at some point and see if it's as good as the USA one inside.
It is fun looking at vintage filters, and the box art is certainly cool on this one. I think the modern filter is far superior in every way and I think it would be less stress on the oil pump with high flowing core. By the box art, I would bet the old wix is not much newer than 1980.
Great video!
Thank You👍
Look at the old WIX filter, it has a 70's Ford Granada & Pickup truck on it 0:50
Man watching this can from let’s say 1980, and another filter from 2023, what would an oil filter from the year 2063 look like? 😊
0:49 I don’t know what it mean but…
on April 1, 1973 the U.P.C. made its first commercial appearance on a package of Wrigley's gum sold in Marsh's Supermarket in Troy, Ohio in June 1974.
So mebe this filter can is 1970’s
Thanks👍
The old WIX looks way cooler than the new WIX, but the new WIX is better
Wix goof filters !!!
OMG, that's a Ford Granada on the filter! Put it in the Smithsonian!
🤣👍
Too much loose glue on the new Wix. Others have better build quality. If no bypass valve, you just hope no glue is loose on the clean side of the filter at least, since the loose glue on the clean side can't get sucked down the missing bypass valve on this one. Most filters have bypass valves though!
Yeah, this filter was made for engines that have their own bypass valves.
2x the media the old style. 😮 need more holes in the core.
The old oil filter logo looks an awful lot like Weyland-Yutani
Old Wix fit the old GM V8 & V 6s on the bottom of then engine an ADV would not be needed.
👍
What oil filter brand do you like the most?
I like the Purolator Boss. It's a USA very well-made oil filter.
Wix was better...way better before Mann+Hummel got the company.
Old Wix is bigger and New Wix is smaller. New Wix has better filter Media. No Choice now for somebody who has that car and oil filter has become smaller. Maybe Another Manufacturer still makes Big Oil Filter same size as Wix 51039 ? Like K&N or OEM oil filter.
I think maybe change it every 3K instead of 5K if you can't find a bigger capacity.
K&n will destroy your motor and will leak
I agree if one looked around, one could probably find a bigger oil filter made by another brand.
I have used K&N oil Filters in my car many times and no issues. @@Lifegoeson-nv9jv
Another new wix that is sloppy… damn.
Get used to it.
