Nascar Select is/was a cheaper line of filters at NAPA. If you are going to buy your filters there, I would get the NAPA Gold.
Its cheaper and better than a Fram.

I would buy a Super Tech, Motorcraft or one of the store brand names from Pep Boys, Auto Zone or Advanced Auto first. Most of the store name brands are Purolator Premium Pluses with a few less media pleats.
up in canada we don't have those stores. can only get motorcraft at ford dealers big bucks. napa gold filter for 1995 2.5 liter dodge spirit is 7.99 cdn napa select 3.60 cdn. wal-mart only sells fram.
Thats what I did yesterday, cleaned out the buffalo walmart of ST3600.
The following is from a FL-820S filter study. I bought the Napa NASCAR and am trying it on the vehicle now. As you can see it is made by WIX.
-------
WIX 51372, Napa Gold 1372, and Carquest 85372
($3 by case www.fleetfilter.com , Napa ~$6, Carquest $7)

WIX (Dana) is well regarded filter company. I looked at the Napa Gold version and the bypass valve is in the dome, the ADBV is red Silicon. WIX website generally claims bypass is in the base but when I checked it was also in the dome. Flow is rated at 11-13gpm, 19 micron nominal, and bypass valve set for 12-15 psi. Right now WIX website says they are using “paper” on the 51372 but I would watch them for improved filtration material.
WIX also has general information on “Glass enhanced” media good down to 10-20um and is specified in some other oil filter applications. They call it “depth” vs. “paper” media. On a Napa web site I found “T-03 Glass Enhanced Media” for the Gold 1372 (FIL1372) and NASCAR version (NFI91372, $3.70) uses “T-52 Synthetic/Cellulose Media” with black ADBV and dome bypass. So who knows ? I’ve emailed Wix twice on this to clarify but no response.
