Racinbob 11,929 #2 Posted August 22, 2015 I wouldn't either. I did my own research years ago and had several cut apart filters on a board in the barn. Clearly, the Frams were inferior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glenn27 71 #8 Posted August 26, 2015 I have been using NAPA gold filters for years, in everything I own. No oil related failures as of now--and they offer a very wide/selection comparison to other brands. They seem like the 'little engine that could'==just keep on-keeping on....I understand the GOLD line is still made right here in USA (Gastonia, N.C.) The cheaper version of NAPA filters (select) is out-sourced over seas, I believe. Someone correct me if wrong--but I had a long discussion with the distract NAPA Rep last year.....about the filter situation...........glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
