Huh. Bummer.

Wix Filters Having Issues?
I have been running WIX filters in all my engines and recently had issues which is looking like it might be the anti drain back portion of the filter...
I was watching TikTok and saw a shop i follow on there had removed their NAPA Gold stock and switched to WIX.No.

They chopped open a NAPA Gold and it had a different media and a flat steel spring vs the WIX's coil spring. The WIX said MADE I. USA, the NAPA Gold said MADE IN CHINA.
I've not seen official info on it yet but there was a guy on an International forum saying his NAPA told him Baldwin was making them now.
Companies keep a lot of that info quiet but I'm still looking for official info on it.
Most of the Baldwin stuff I get is USA or Mexico 
I don't have any experience with Baldwin personally. Those were just two different sources saying they were no longer WIX.Most of the Baldwin stuff I get is USA or Mexico
There's no guarantee that the parts you get from Napa are going to be any better than any other parts store at this point.
Yes it is
Wix was bought by Mann-Hummel in 2016. I have used hundreds of Wix filters 2016 to 2021, no complaints. Now after the cooties ruined the world, might be another story
Yes. I believe a good amount of Baldwin filters are made in Kearney, Nebraska.
I often don't check every filter of theirs that I install, though. I have seen some for International maxx-force made in Europe, a few little inline fuel filters made in China.

Still shows made by Wix. I will verify tomorrow.
Look under specifications.
Why not just buy Wix directly? When you buy a rebrand you may not get what you expect. I get Wix filters from rockauto.
