I've used them in other apps, and they are top-notch. In non-MB apps, I
will use their filters (also sold as NAPA Gold IIRC) preferentially (esp
air and oil).
For what it is worth, Wix is made by Dana, the axle/differential people.
Dana also owns/makes:
- "Victor Reinz" (Gaskets, the 617A head gasket set Rusty sold me was
made by them, no problems)
- "Long" (no idea)
- "Spicer" (U-joints,off-highway axles)
Dana axles were used under many cherokees and wranglers (until the
cherokee was changed to use the chrysler corporate diff).

Anybody ever use Wix brand oil filters? I thought I had one more from Rusty,
but I didn't, so I picked one up at the corner auto store. It's a Wix 51385,
and I am not confident that it is the right one. The Mann filter I had in
there has an inner diameter "ring" at about the half way mark in the
cylinder that hugs the center shaft. The Wix only has anything to hug the
shaft at the top of the filter.
Hope my description is understandable. Car is 83 240D.
