NAPA Gold not the right part #??

[Solo2driver]

Purchased a Wix/NAPA GOLD oil filter #1348, with a 3/4x16 thread pitch. The Purolator PureOne that came off the car is a #10241, not sure of the thread pitch. Web site and counter guy said it should be the same part, but I tried to spin on the NAPA filter and it only went on on a turn or two.

What gives? I won't be near a NAPA during the 12 1/2 hours that they are open (my work schedule SUCKS!!!!!!!!!), but is this a problem? The Purolator should be the same as a Fram 3614 (the "short" 3600), but in the book the car calls for either a 3614 or a 2951 (slightly smaller gasket).

Sorry, I'm frustrated. I drive 1600 miles a week, and if I'm a week off in my oil change I could be half way into the next one I had to put my old PureOne back on, drain out the GC, fill the motor with some old spare Shell conventional 10w30. I guess the Amsoil I scored will have to wait *sigh*.

GC 0w30 to Amsoil 5w30 when I can get a filter!

Not sure what to say. The Wix website xrefs that PureOne filter to that Napa filter as well.

And if you put in the 1348 it'll list a a NAPA that crossreferences to the 51348.

The Purolator site lists the PL10241 as having a 3/4-16 threads too.

Did you make sure the number on the filter is the same as the box?

Look at the threads, maybe someone already crossthreaded them.

Thanks for the research, same results as mine. The filter matches the box, and the threads are perfectly clean (checked several on the shelf for such). I'm going to go into work late today and stop by NAPA on the way and see what gives. Half the filters on the shelf were in the new boxes, and the other half were in the old-style boxes, mixed about 50-50 in each part number. I'll try to compare with the old box and see what's what.

I appreciate it!
