reference pic from wix website:
this is the one i have:
looks exactly the same. the 3/4 stamp, the crimps, even the bypass valve looks the same as the cut open ones on youtube
this is probably genuine

p145 each. i took all 4 remaining stock hehe. can't find WL7119 (poland) anymore. sellers are suggesting a new part number that's made in china. if you look up suzuki jimny in the wix europe site the WL7119 is the one that comes up
Hand-crafted. lol
Those pleats..... yeah, count 'em! Anybody can do so even on a low-res monitor.
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?

I wouldn't say "trusted". First time buying from this shop and I just based it on the number of items sold and positive reviews.
Baldwin B243 Heavy Duty Oil Filter for Toyota Fortuner, Innova, Hiace, Hilux, Revo; Ford Escape; Mazda CX-7; Nissan Sentra, Cefiro
^May bypass valve mga aftermarket kaya dapat alam mo din ang pressure setting ng OEM para match sa replacement. Usually 8 PSI sa small engines.
Kung frequent oil change o no plans to extend oil use, pwede na regular equivalent filters. Waste of money kung upgrade to bigger filters then every 5k kms or 6months ang palit. Applicable siguro yang bigger FF upgrade sa 1yr/10k kms oil change interval.
i'm talking about those honda replacement atf in-line filters usually sold at lazada or shopee bro. walang bypass feature iyong mga iyon kasi i've already seen 2 dissected
tins of it. kaya naman pala it's a fraction of the cost of the genuine article...notwithstanding its inferior filter material din pala.

Wix WL7134 and Wix WL10489 are they similar? because I cannot find Wix WL7134 it is out of stock.
Ito meron naman stocks.
Kung sa Mirage parang pwede yung WL10489. Minsan kasi kahit pareho ang thread, yung ibang specs ng oil filter hindi pasok sa ibang sasakyan. Yang WL7134 pasok ang thread niya sa 4m40 na engine kasi same for adventure/strada na 4d56 na makina, pero hindi papasok all the way kasi mahaba ang metal tube sa 4m40. Need talaga yung Vic C313 or Wix WL7199.

For 4D56, 4M40, 4M41 engines - thread size is M26x1.5;
For 4N15 - thread size is M20x1.5
For cross referencing, the filters may differ in width and/or length but the thread size MUST be exactly the same.

Konti lang naman ata price difference between the OEM Mitsu. oil filter and these aftermarket brands.
What's so good about them that parang mas preferred pa gamitin over OEM minsan?
Just asking lang naman, because maybe there's something you guys know na hindi ko nakikita, so kindly share.
My take kasi is air, fuel and oil filters are critical engine components, so I stick with OEM because sigurado 100% up to design spec sila (as long as hindi fake/imitation yung nabili of course), even if compared to reputable aftermarket brands like Vic, Wix, Fleetman, etc.
