Best Oil/Fuel Filters

[oj88]

I am considering using a taller oil filter for better particle-carrying capacity. Since Wix XP filters costs an arm and a leg, I thought of trying out Baldwin.

To add, Wix filters for SEA countries are now made in India by Mann+Hummel and watching that video made me question the authenticity of the Wix filter I already bought a month ago. On impulse, I bought a 2nd replacement filter from Baldwin. Anyway, it turned out to be authentic after careful research. It looks exactly like the stock picture on their website... shape, texture and all.

Wix WL7172 - The filter I've been using for years. Made in Poland. But only available while supplies last.
Wix WL7570 - The new replacement part for WL7172. Made in India

I'm thinking of replacing it with a Baldwin B243 (high-capacity version of the BT223). Made in the USA (or so it says).

Good decision?
