As far as the information about Wix making the OEM filter it came from a company that has now been merged with Advance Auto.

Interesting. I wonder if the person relaying the information to you was crossed up on who made what for who. I worked for CARQUEST for years( I assume the company to which you refer ). Wix did make filters for CARQUEST. I am actually trying to find out if Wix does make the Delco filters. They are both made in the USA.
Regardless, to the OP's point, if the filter change solved the problem as it did mine, that's all that matters. Wix and AC Delco are both good quality products.
I just called my local GM dealer and they thought that Delco makes their oil and fuel filters which I thought was interesting as Ford has Purolator and Mann make some filters for Ford....
