WIX is also the supplier to AC Delco. I ordered an AC Delco for my vette and got a WIX in the AC Delco package. I called the vendor and he told me sometimes the do not relable them. - correction, it was the fuel filter not the oil filter.

I'd be leary of gram, they are not what they were in years past. Do some research or cut some different filters open and decide for yourself. I used to be an avid gram customer, now all I use is Wix.

I have used the factory MOPAR filters on every MOPAR vehicle I have had for the past 32 years. So far I have yet to experience a single filter failure and have not had a single oil related failure in a total of 1.3M miles on those vehicles. I change oil at every 3K miles. The most common failure across the vehicles...sway bar links. I think I have replaced at least one on every vehicle. Usually toast around 85K.
