Yeah, somewhat funny information indeed!
So, it's somewhat funny in light of this discussion, it appears Mann has aquired Wix: https://www.mann-hummel.com/en/corp...]=1009&cHash=60095371cb8410789277eb745dab72a6

Oh man, the timing advance we could get if we could run leaded gasoline [emoji48]Wix has been a NASCAR sponsor and supplier for years.
So they must be good!

Sweet, sweet knock protection.

I do, but I unfortunately used different oil (OE Castrol vs LiquiMoly) and a different interval so it would be hard to draw conclusions. If you see the image I posted earlier in the thread, it's the 10,000 mile interval. The Wix/LiquiMoly is the 7,500 interval. I'm sending another analysis in next week and I'll post that when I get it back.Do you have an UOA where you used the same oil/interval but used an OE Mann filter?
Curious if there would be a difference, then we can draw definitive conclusions.
I doubt there'll be significant differences visible in UOAs between OE style filters
made by OEMs when fitted properly. Does it really matter if you have 4 or 7 ppm
of silicon present in your oil when you don't even know if that's some sand dust or
just a residue of sealant?
Contrarily I am convinced there are actual differences between OE/OE style filters
and some aftermarket air filter solutions, since many of them provide poor filtration,
that are clearly showing up in UOAs.
Perhaps I feel a bittiness better with a Mann oil filter, however I certainly wouldn't
lose sleep over a filter made Wix.
On a side note:
No lead please. Leaded fuel has been one of the reasons for exhaust corrosion.

I'm really hoping you're just joking around and I'm being obtuse... What?It's not an oil thread unless you're splitting hairs at an atomic level, all the while personally insulting other users' choice in oil brands.
