Recently the question of who makes the best filter came up again. Today I raided the used oil filter recycle barrel at the Chevy dealer I work for and cut open a Wix, Fram, AC Delco, and a Champ service line. The Wix filter had the best construction with a metal clad cartridge and a metal cage to keep the filter from collapsing. Wix uses an actual coil spring for a pressure relief. The AC Delco came in 2nd. It's construction was the same except for a stamped piece of steel for a pressure relief. The Champ service line filter had the lightest gage metal can, used glued cardboard end caps on it's cartridge, stamped steel spring and a plastic cage inside the filter media. The media however was comparable in number of pleats indicating comparable filtering area to the Wix and Delco filters. The Fram filter had the least amount of filtering media, glued cardboard end caps on the cartridge, and a stamped steel spring. All filters are not created equal. Don't take my word for it. Cut your favorite filter open and see how it stacks up. One thing is for sure. The only filters you will find on my engines are Wix brand.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
