NAPA Gold 1515 C&P

On the cutter today is a NAPA Gold 1515. This filter comes off a Mastercraft Prostar boat w/ the 351w engine. I just purchased this boat and went through all the filters and fluids.

This filter crosses over to a Motorcraft FL1A and WIX 51515. The oil was unknown. The OCI was unknown. I have records of an oil change in 2023. The oil looked brand new.

Overall, the filter looks good. It is a M+H filter, but has holes instead of louvers. The media is evenly spaced, no excess glue, but does not have a crimped seam. The media seems thinner than other filters I have cut open.

If anyone has future oil filter recommendations, let me know! I intend on through some filters from PGI into my next RA order, but could be swayed.

Here are the pics!

Looks good for a mh, thanks for the can cut. Can't go wrong with a pg filter.

This one looks good. Thanks

 

[Fair enough]

Ford Motors does like the base end bypass. Not sure what would have that except Motorcraft. Maybe Wix does too. Doesn’t have to be base end but that’s what they promoted at one time.

Only downside is no PG filter with silicone ADBV.

Now, I can get a CQ Premium, which constitutes a PG filter with silicone ADBV, just not from RA.

also the media looks very thin compared to usual PG that we see here even on their jobber line.

Yes, this filters media was very thin. I’ve seen better on PGI jobber filters.

 

[fantastic]

I'll go against the grain & say it looks great but I have rose colored glasses for M+H.
