When I looked that WIX one up I found
1) No Bypass
2) No anti drain back valve
Not sure I like either of these "features"
I always use the K&N, 3002 and it is white and the decals come off to look good on the white transom.
Here is another 2 qt filter with anti drainback and bypass valve.

Napa 1794 , Wix 51794 is the standard 2 quart for Chevy in HD Trucks .
Napa 1060 , Wix 51060 is the standard 1 quart for Chevy , neither of these have a bypass or drainback !
Why you ask ? Because you dont need it on a chevy !

Not sure which filter you are referring to as everyone's idea of big is different and I haven't measured the liquid capacity. The really big Wix is the 51222r, you should know it if you have it because it has a 4 1/2 in. diameter with 1 1/2 in. threads, it looks more like a coffee can than a filter. Someone might correct me, but I don't believe Merc installed them on anything, they might be for an Eickert filter housing. Anyway here's the specs right from Wix so you can verify.
