Has anybody been having trouble with Wix oil filters leaking after ~2000 miles? My last 2 have been leaking. They’re on a 1992 Buick Roadmaster, so the 350 TBI sbc. I have them hand tight plus 1/4 turn. Not double gasketed, clean mating surface

How can it be leaking? Is the gasket or metal case bad? You've removed the filter to inspect it and replaced it, right? I wouldn't keep a questionable filter on the vehicle, unless I wasn't using it. I haven't bought Wix for a long time. Aren't they Chinese made now like everything else? Where did you buy it from? A lot of parts on Amazon are fakes.
