Actually, if you look at the NAPA website, the ProSelects are priced HIGHER than the Silvers. What that means, I have no clue but if I'm buying NAPA, it's a Gold. The comparable WIX is a little less money and much closer to my house so if I'm buying my OC from O'Reilly (2/10 mi away from my house), it's Whateverisonsale 5w30 DINO and a Wix with the silicone ADBV. Given Squally dumped Purolator, might be using Whateverisonsale 5w30 DINO and a Wix with the silicone ADBV all the time. We'll see.
Might be a regional thing? The ProSelect is the cheapest here followed by the Silver, Gold then Platinum. The WIX filter from Oreillys is cheaper than the Golds though.
I also just found out today that the MicroGuard is the same as the Silver filters (per WIX's catalog department) and slightly cheaper as well. This might also be a regional thing too though.
