You guy's Have Oil ?
Yeah, I move it from one engine to another every 3000 miles. I never understood what these "oil changes" help, but they say you're supposed to do them 
. The hardest part is getting 2 vehicles to hit 3000 at the same time.

plowing and weed abatement at the same time
well sh*t. Wix is my brand...I guess not now
Only in the blazer. On all the other work cars and daily drivers I do the drive-thru.
Changing oil today.
That is actually a sad picture, once you've looked at it a bit.
At least the gasket color is correct for the change in manufacturing.
Great...more Americans out of work.

You obviously got the filter made for girls. Get the manly one next time.

I haven't seen any with the red gasket.
They probably expect with less concern about product quality, that more gaskets will pull free of the filter and stick to the block. This way they can deny they didn't do something to warn owners. As if the made in China wasn't enough warning.
And to be fair, I'd call that 80's hot pink.
In my studying this, I found continual references to a particular filter manufacturer that uses that bright red gasket and drain back valve. I can't remember which manufacturer it is right off.
They posted a second video. NAPA Corporate took this seriously and sent in reps.

They are typically responsive, I have brought a couple issues forward and those parts were taken out of inventory and replaced with parts that didn't have the same issue.
What do I replace my China WIX with??? Purolator Boss? Mobil1 ???
. Kind of ironic they are both labeled "the original".
Bringing this back. Two WIX XP’s for my 5.3’s. Made in the USA. Both with 2024 production dates.
