WIX makes excellent filters.

So now the vote is 2 to 2.

I use a NAPA 1148 on my gas 440IC.
They are made for NAPA by Wix and according to my NAPA guy they fit from the JD M to the 440, maybe beyond.
So far I have never been let down by a NAPA filter whatever vender they buy them from that year.

At work we run Baldwin filters on all our Tugboats ranging 750 clear to 6800 HP. On the bigger tugs we change lube-oil filters every 500 hours and send off an oil sample to the Chevron lab. With such an investment in this kind of equipement and the cost of downtime someone somewhere must think that Baldwin offers the best protection. The cost of filters certainly is not a factor when you burn 3,500 gals of fuel a day. I just followed suite (plus I get a deal). I personally run Balwin in everything from the wifes Honda to everything else we own that runs an air, fuel, hyd, lube, or misc filter. Baldwin and Wix seem to be used on the majority of industrial application, but who knows who makes who's filters? (I hope I don't regret mentioning a Honda!!!)

I see we have a ricer in our midst.

Just kidding.

NAPA 1148 is what I have too, was trying to remember the number. I get my filters from NAPA, no difference from Wix as stated.

I actually hadn't really heard of Baldwin filters till now, I will look at them if I ever come across them.

As stated earlier , I run Baldwin filters on most of my equipment , the reason I started running them was the parts place that I get my filters from always seemed to have what I needed in the Baldwin's , they deal in three or four brands of filters . I have an odd diesel here for a project that I am building , it was built in Italy , Lombardini is the manufacturer , and all the other parts places had to order the filters for it , they had both the fuel and lube filters in stock both were Baldwin . When I get that project done I will post some picture here . Dan
