New NAPA Platinum Oil Filters

[MurkyAsparagus]

Up until very recently, NAPA Platinum filters appeared to still be made by Mann+Hummel with unimpressive quality and lack luster performance.

NAPA appears to be following CarQuests/Advanced Autos lead in having Premium Guard produce a mesh-backed high performance filter. This go around, instead of a black canister and red ADBV like CarQuest, NAPA has opted for a gray canister and blue ADBV.

It’s good to see companies willing and actively improving on their available filtration offerings.

Pictures below from NAPA’s website.

Yep, These are the Carquest Extended Performance essentially. The big chain parts stores seem to follow each other on these oil filters like you mentioned. Looks like we have more color options, Gray & blue or black & red.

Looks like they're claiming 99%@20um on their flyer.
Emphasis mine below.

Engineered in U.S.A.

* Filters were conditioned to simulate a 25,000 mile travel period then tested per ISO 4548-12. Follow OEM-recommended oil change intervals. Mileage claim based on use with synthetic oils.** Where applicable *** Performance tested per ISO 4548-12 at 20 µm.

I’m all for the gray, easier to write on.

Doesn't look like any stores stock them. Have to be ordered in.

Looks like some are available at my local NAPA, just not every model.

Must be too new and still rolling out to stores.

Sounds right. 99% at 20 microns would equal 99.5% at 25 microns(I think) which is the same for the CarQuest EP. The 10k miles PGI filters are 99.5% at 20 microns.

I think most(all?) manufacturers have that disclaimer about OCIs

Could very well be the case. I just searched for a filter for my 2020 F150 3.5 ecoboost. 79 stores came up and none of them had it in stock. Said I could order it for pickup Monday.

Looks like they are going to be around $15.99. When I looked up my 1st gen tundra. But always good to have options to those that want to spend that kind of coin on a oil filter.
