So I should stick two wix only? Is napa of the only one that's sells Wix? What's the part number for 2000 model I'm about to change my oil I just bought an o-ring kit for the adapter

 

after a google search some said they are made by the cheapest bidder and its a puralator. idk

 

You can do a napa gold. Its same as wix. iirc its 51515 for oversized filter and the wix is 1515.

 

Thanks man I found this on xj talk

 

I've seen statements online from both Remington and Goodyear in reference to products sold by Walmart with their names on them being inferior to their std products. Both said some of the products sold by Walmart are made just for Walmart but are in no way inferior. I mean how could Fram make a more inferior product just for Walmart than their std inferior ones.


Just kidding Fram.

 

FIFY (that is a term I learned from you).
NAPA Gold is 1515 for oversize.
Wix is 51515.

 

I read that since their buying from the lowest bidder that these companies cut quality and cost just for walmart so they can meet the bid price

 

Same with Home Depot. Name brand items are often sub-standard due to their forceful buying practices from vendors/manufacturers.

That is what I was trying to say..

 

Eh, i was close enough lol. Thanks

 

So they "tool up" special equipment just to make an inferior product? That's one of the ways in which both Remington and Goodyear responded to the inferior products claim.

They may cut cost because Walmart buys in such large quantities.

I use to think the same way. Yrs back I was doing alot of centerfire rifle accuracy "tuneups" for friends. The Remingtons from Walmart may not have been as fancy (jeweled bolts,fancy stocks,etc) but otherwise they were the same. Think about it. What cheaper bbls and actions out of special machinery just for Walmart? My SIL's dad who worked for Winchester 40+ yrs told me they same thing. Special products but no way inferior.



BUT I still buy my filters from NAPA and firearms from a dealer friend.

 

^x2. No way a mass manufacturer is going to change out pieces of their assembly tooling to make an inferior product. Businesses don't operate like that. Rebranded is exactly that, just a different name.

 

orileys carries wix filters.

 

How y'all feel about puralator? I've been using the 3001 on my XJs lately.

 

i use oversized purolators from walmart

 

Finally took the time to find out what remote starter is in my XJ. Now I can either remove it or program it the way I want.
