Napa Gold, good choice?

[omegaman]

For my 1995 Volvo 850 I bought a Napa Gold oil filter, did I make a good choice? Would Bosch have been a better choice?

Ive used napa gold which is a wix, but I find I prefer just the plain old purolator, Especially in the smaller form factors. Either is prob better than the orange can. Most BOSCH are made by purolator now, sporting a Si rubber anti-drainback flapper which is a good winter choice.

Napa Gold is a pretty decent oil filter. Wix makes good filters.

1) yes 2) no

For the same price, Bosch Premium is my pick.

I use a Wix or Carquest Blue which is Napa Gold. I think they are great. But I know that purolator filters are good too. Either one is a good decision.

How important is a thread end bypass to you?

NAPA Gold uses a silicon ADBV too.

WIX/NAPA Gold, Purolator or Bosch ... all good filters.

It's a good choice. I've used many Napa Golds and Napa ProSelects.

Wix/Napa gold are excellent filters.

Wix/NAPA Gold are good filters, I use on my Corvette and other cars. They flow great.

My local NAPA has a "secret half price sale" every Saturday on all Gold filters.Perhaps yours may as well.
