I also use VR-1. For reference, the Wix 51069 (for my 302) I got at Napa a few months ago is Made In USA, as is the 51061 that fits my truck 350. You may have to check per filter at a parts store to be sure.

I have a few older Napa filters buried in the garage somehere...i'll have to see what they are.

What Wix filter is best for the hi-perf big blocks...again, i like to use the long filter.

thanks,wilma
O’Reilly stocks them.
Sorry for the sideways pic.

Wix filters are cheaper at Rock Auto, that's where i get mine. But you have shipping cost also. I also heard that the Napa gold is made by Wix, per my buddy who works for Napa.

The best oil filters on the market are Motorcraft, Bosch, Purolator, this confirmed by a oil testing engineer named RAT540. He has taken apart many oil filters and looked at the paper filter media and how well they are made. He has a blog online which you can read. I took his advice and he told me go with Bosch, which i did. I used Wix at one time, no more, he claimed their quality has changed and made overseas. Just my two cents.
