Wix 51010
Fram also has one, but I've been told Wix is superior.

If you've ever seen a cutout of a Fram filter vs. a Wix filter you'd confirm that suspicion West. The Fram is about the cheapest filter made, it has glued on cardboard ends on the element, as well as a poorer filtration element.

The Wix on the other hand, has a finer filtration element, and has metal ends to the element to help support it from collapsing.

Fram filters + Penzoil = Mutually Assured Destruction of an engine.

A quick bit of info. on the oil filter element situation. The Wix 51010 is a bigger filter that fits, but comes with the wrong cover gasket. The 51080 is the filter called for by application according to Wix, and has the correct cover gasket, but is considerably smaller.

The 51010 is equivalent to the Fram C3. Both give more filtration with adequate clearance between the sides of the filter and filter housing and are the exact same height. If a replacement gasket is needed, use Wix 15062 in place of the one that comes with the 51010.

I also agree with West and Eric on the merits of the Wix over other filters.

Of course this information is only pertinent to engines equipped with a genuine Packard or exact equivalent replacement filter assembly.

At least for this filter, NAPA and WIX are the same filter, the NAPA # omits the first digit, so its a NAPA 1080 if you want the correct gasket.

West, I personally like the 51010 you recommended. I learned of it when you mentioned it on the AACA site. The 51010 gives considerably more filtration. If you need a gasket, just order the 15062 gasket.

Thanks. I'm glad you clarified. I will write that down.
I just made my own gasket. In fact, I think that I've reused the gasket without any problems.
