THIS PSEUDO EXPERIMENT HAS MORPHED INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN I INITIALLY ANTICIPATED OR
INITIALLY THOUGHT ABOUT AT FIRST I HAD HEARD THAT WIX AND SUPERTECH OIL FILTERS WHICH IS
SOLD SUPERTECH IS SOLD AT WALMART WIX IS SOLD AT OREILLY AUTO PARTS I HEARD THAT THEY ARE
THE EXACT SAME OIL FILTER SO THEN I DECIDED TO GET THESE TWO FILTERS THAT ARE EXACTLY
THE SAME FOR THE SAME VEHICLE FOR A 98 CHEVY GMC OR CHEVY PICKUP AND THEN I THOUGHT WELL
I GOTTA GET A FRAM FOR COMPARISON RIGHT A BASELINE AND THEN I THOUGHT WELL HEY I'VE
ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WIX THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WIX AND WIX XP IS SO I WENT AND GOT
A WIX XP FILTER TOO SO I'M GOING TO CUT THESE OIL FILTERS OPEN I HAVE A HANDY DANDY CUTTING
TOOL RIGHT HERE I BORROWED FROM A GOOD BUDDY OF MINE BUT THIS IS GOING TO DO A NICE CLEAN
SMOOTH CUT ALONG THE OIL FILTERS AND WE CAN SEE WHATS INSIDE OF THEM BUT FIRST THING I
WANT TO DO I WANT TO WEIGH THEM I WANT TO SEE HOW MUCH EACH INDIVIDUAL OIL FILTER WEIGHS
SO THESE WERE ALL BOUGHT FROM THE STORE THESE TWO WIX OIL FITLERS WERE BOUGHT FROM O'REILLY
AUTO PARTS THE FRAM FILTER WAS BOUGHT FROM AUTOZONE AND THE SUPERTECH WAS BOUGHT FROM
WAL MART I'M NOT SPONSORED BY ANY OF THESE PEOPLE THEY DID NOT SEND ME THESE OIL FILTERS
I USED MY HARD EARNED MONEY TO BUY THESE OIL FILTERS LET'S CHECK THEM OUT SO LET'S TURN
THE SCALE ON MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR THE WIX XP 51036XP COMES IN AT 11 OUNCES 11.3 OUNCES
THE FRAM OIL FILTER COME IN AT 9.1 OUNCES THE SUPER TECH OIL FILTER COMES IN AT 9.5
OUNCES AND THE NON XP WIX OIL FILTER COMES IN AT 9.9 OUNCES WHATS WAS THIS AGAIN 11.3
LIKE I SAID PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THESE TWO OIL FILTERS THIS FILTER THE SUPERTECH IS MADE
BY WIX SO I WANT TO FIND THAT OUT SO I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO CUT THEM OPEN AND FOR A BASELINE
I CAN TELL RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT THE FRAM OIL FILTER IS NOT MADE BY WIX SO GET THIS
OUT OF HERE SOME OF THE SAME THINGS I HAVE NOTICED ABOUT THE WIX AND THE SUPERTECH OIL
FILTERS IS THAT THE RIDGES ALONG HERE ON TOP FOR A HAND GRIP ARE THE SAME SOME OF THE MARKINGS
ON TOP ARE THE SAME AS WELL IS HAS THE DATE IT WAS MADE I BELIEVE AND THEN IS HAS THIS
D3 YOU PROB CANT SEE HERE BUT THERE IS A D3 ON HERE AS WELL YOU FLIP THEM OVER KIND OF
THE SAME THE DRAIN BACK IS A DIFFERENT COLOR THIS IS BLACK THAT'S RED AND THE WEIGHT WAS
ALSO DIFFERENT AS WELL SO LETS CUT ONE OF THESE OPEN LETS CUT THE SUPERTECH OIL FILTER
OPEN FIRST WE GOT THAT OPEN THERE ALRIGHT SO LET'S SEE WHAT FELL OUT OF HERE THERES
THE ELEMENT JUST A PAPER ELEMENT WELL WE HAVE THE SUPERTECH OIL FILTER OPEN GONNA CUT OPEN
THE WIX OIL FILTER RIGHT HERE THERES THE INSIDE OF THE WIX OIL FILTER HERES THE WIX ELEMENT
I THINK THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR IN CONSTRUCTION I DONT THINK THERE EXACTLY THE SAME SO I WANT
TO SAY AH OH YEAH THIS ONES A 100 PERCENT MADE BY WIX CAUSE I DON'T THINK IT IS THEY
MIGHT COME OUT OF THE SAME PLANT BUT I'M GOING TO LABEL THESE ELEMENTS ALRIGHT LET'S CUT
OPEN THE WIX XP WELL CUT OPEN THE FRAM OIL FILTER GOT THE XP ONE OPEN WHITE ELEMENT THERES
THE SPRING THERES THAT IT HAS THIS METAL BRACKET IN THE MIDDLE I THINK THESE ELEMENTS WEIGH
DIFFERENT AS WELL SO BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER I KNOW IT'S WHITE BUT WIX XP LET'S WEIGH THESE
REAL QUICK THE WIX XP OIL FILTER ELEMENT HOPEFULLY YOU
GUYS CAN SEE THAT 4.2 OUNCES THE REGULAR WIX 3.0 OUNCES I BET IF I WAS TO PUT ALL THE PIECES
ON HERE IT WOULD PROB BE THE SAME WEIGHT EXACTLY THE SAME LET'S TRY IT HERES THE REGULAR WIX
OIL FILTER 7.0 OUNCES RIGHT THERE BRING IN THE WIX XP OIL FILTER ELEMENT 7.0 (LAUGHTER)
CAN YOU GUYS SEE THAT SEVEN POINT ZERO JUST LIKE I CALLED IT SO THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE
ELEMENT SEVEN POINT ZERO SO WE GOT TO CUT THESE ELEMENTS OPEN I'LL DO THAT ON THE NEXT
VIDEO LET ME CUT THIS FRAM OIL FILTER OPEN SO THATS CRAZY THE CASING ALL THE ELEMENTS
INSIDE THE ORING THE LITTLE SPRING ON TOP FOR THE DRAIN BACK IS ALL THE SAME SEVEN POINT
ZERO OUNCES THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE THE ELEMENTS SO YOUR PAYING MORE FOR THE ELEMENT
LAST ONE I'M CUTTING THIS FRAM IS SUPER LIGHT FRAM FILTER WIX XP SUPERTECH FROM WALMART
WIX FROM OREILLY AUTO PARTS HAS I HAVE SHOWN PREVIOUSLY THE WIX AND THE WIX XP ARE THE
SAME WEIGHT EXCEPT FOR THE ELEMENT ITSELF THIS FRAM OIL FILTER IS THE MOST POORLY DESIGNED
ONE OUT OF ALL FOUR OIL FILTERS HAS PAPER ELEMENTS AT THE END DOES NOT ACTUALLY HAVE
A SPRING FOR THE DRAIN BACK HAS THIS LITTLE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS IS I DON'T EVEN
KNOW IF THIS WOULD COMPRESS THAT REALLY DOESN'T DO ANYTHING THE DRAIN BACK IS A LITTLE BIT
THINNER THERE YOU GO GUYS NEXT VIDEO I DO I'LL SHOW YOU GUYS CUTTING OPEN THE OIL FILTER
ELEMENTS I THINK THE SUPERTECH OIL FILTER FROM WAL MART IS BETTER THAN THE FRAM EXTRA
GUARD THIS DOES NOT DO ANYTHING THIS YOU CAN COMPRESS THESE SPRINGS FOR THE DRAIN BACK
BUT THIS DOESN'T DO CRAP DOESN'T DO JACK THERES NO WAY TO COMPRESS THAT WITH THE CHINCY I
DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU CAN'T EVEN CALL THIS A SPRING IT'S JUST PAPER AT THE ENDS BOTH ENDS
JUST PAPER PAPER NOTHING HOLDING THIS THING IN ALRIGHT SO NEXT I'LL CUT THESE OIL FILTER
ELEMENTS OPEN I'LL PUT THAT IN THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION BELOW I'LL CUT THE OIL FILTER ELEMENTS OPEN
AND WE CAN SEE HOW MUCH COVERAGE THEY HAVE BUT OUT OF ALL FOUR OF THESE I THINK WIX IS
A GREAT BRAND BE THAT THE XP OR THE PLAIN WIX OIL FILTER ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING THE ELEMENT
THEN I WOULD GO WITH THE SUPERTECH FROM WALMARK AND THEN A DISTANT 21ST PLACE I WOULD GO WITH
A FRAM OIL FILTER LOOK IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW I'LL PUT A LINK TO THE ELEMENTS BEING
