Oil filter Wix or Hengst

Wix Oil filter

I started using WIX/Napa Gold about 2 years ago for all our vehicles, including the German ones (BMW & VW). Have had no issues and after I learned that they were owned by Mann I stopped caring.

Pros: no issues, reliable performance
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Wix Oil filter

Agree about the WIX filter, has better end caps on the filter vs the oem filter that you just press the oil line tube ends into it, not a great design imo.

Pros: better end caps
Cons: not great design

Wix Oil filter

I'll say the only issue I've ever encountered with Wix filters when they come into the shop (dealer) is that they seem more prone to cavitate/collapse in the center of the filter than OEM; that's it. Most of the time they are completely fine. I've yet to see an OEM filter collapse in the same way. I'm not sure if the sidewalls of the pleats are not as stiff for some reason, but yeah. That's my anecdotal experience with them over the years of oil changes.

Pros: mostly fine
Cons: prone to collapse, less stiff
Vehicle: BMW

Wix Oil filter

I have a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L with a fresh oil change and properly torqued filter. When it gets below zero and I cold start it, my oil filter loosens itself enough to where oil leaks out when starting. I have to crawl underneath and tighten it by hand every time. This has never happened until this year.

Cons: loosens, oil leaks
Vehicle: Chevrolet Silverado
Mileage: 120000 km
