Napa no longer gets their filters from Wix/Mann and Hummel. They get them from Premium Guard. Wix filters are still made by Mann and Hummel and sold at Oreily
just found out when I went to Napa to buy a 1042 gold filter. Guy at the counter informed me. Not paying $13 plus tax for a china filter. These filters used to be $8 for a rebranded Wix filter now it's over $13.
lol,the many of the old Napa gold wix filters were made in Mexico and Vietnam,even wix isn’t wix anymore per say. I do think the new Napa gold filters are still a premium filter,but obviously the price should come down a hair given they are paying less for them, as a shop buying them I too am still paying the same price as the wix made,however to source wix filters now the price would double and people won’t buy them unfortunately

Why are you assuming it's "crap" just because now made in China?? Have you cut in opened and compared the quality to USA made one??
Awful company with awful junk products. Terrible place.
