I have used and sold Wix filters since 1977.  Perhaps the best quality made
filter IMHO, but they can be pricey depending on the application.  I've used
Wix on all my VWs over the years that came with a factory spin-on when I
couldn't get my hands on a Mahle or Mann while traveling (I'm pretty mobile
these days).  In fact I have a Wix on my Wasserboxer right now from one I
bought from my two week trip taken take a few months back.

Now Fram.....Don't get me started on those....I wouldn't use one for even a
paperweight ;-)

My personal preference, in order:
Mahle, Mann, Wix, AC-Delco, Motorcraft
