Oil filter Wix or Hengst

I wouldn’t worry about who does the service. Just don’t use shitty Filters. Use OEM or Wix.

I used the WIX as it looked like it matched the dealer installed filter better. It also has internal O rings that seem to seal it better on the shaft.

The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.

For filters I have never been done wrong by wix. Price is right and the quality is there. I converted my hilux to use wix 51515 filters because I was sick of ordering them from australia for $40 each, and definitely not buying the $80 one I could get locally. Now my filters cost me like $7. Will pay for the cost of the conversion in a couple years of oil changes.

A good filter is $15 (I use Wix XP) and I get my full synthetic oil at Costco whenever it goes on sale for $3/qt.

I don't know about a lot of different oil filter manufacturers but a wix and Napa are the same and a good quality filter. Wix makes a lot of different brands and I think they are the best.

I use a wix filter that has a filter key that attaches to my ratchet. Never get oiled up all!

I bought a 12 pack of wix for my 8th gen, never had a problem and I’ve used 11 of them so far.

Had a conversation with a WIX rep and was told their best filter is done filtering around the 5000 mile range.

I've just experienced this same problem with my 2017 Buick. I have the UFI cap and the dealers used the Hengst filter 7 of the 9 times I had it changed at the dealer. Using a Hengst filter in the UFI cap results in the oil bypassing the oil filter all the time. The UFI cap expects the bypass valve to be on the filter and the Hengst filter just has an open hole there resulting in the car being run for about 50,000 of its 70,000 mile life WITHOUT an oil filter.
