Nice. Pentius, Premium Guard or ????
I used to buy Wix made Napa Silvers on sale in multiples but I have lost track of the Napa filters.

It appears to be a Premium Guard. It would be the smoking gun if we saw the "leak tested" on top of the can. Maybe this Premium Guard rebranded as Napa Proformer is why people are saying Napa is moving away from Wix filters. Competition is great & these PG's are top notch...A welcome development.

Date code was February 2023 and said leak tested. I almost accidentally wiped that off as it was hard to read.
Made in Vietnam, likely a Premium Guard made filter? So, Napa sourcing the Proformer from PG. Looks good at 6k miles.
Thanks for c&p.

Yeah, I’m seeing lots of these on work vehicles like Parts Plus and others.
I started a thread on here about a year plus ago about Napa Proformer filters being made by Premium Guard.
I got one just yesterday for my lady’s RAV 4… It looks awesome.
