Napa Gold Oil and fuel filters

EquipmentUser · 03-31-2008, 08:27 PM

Does anyone happen to know the micron ratings on these filters? Are they the same as the OEM mopars with the cellulose media or do they have stratapore media. I know they are made by wix.

Off the top of my head i cant tell you the micron rating. I work at napa and i can say that i have seen some fuel filters down to a 6 micron...but ill look at it tomorrow and send you a pm. I use one everytime on my truck. we have a display of one disected compared to some other filter and it has a huge amount more of a filtering element. Just stay away from fram.

I'm with you guys, i've heard to much bad about Fram to ever use one. Mainly just curious if the napa filters are any better than mopar.

Look in the bottom of the oil filter to see if there is a hole on the inside. Those are the ones that did not pass the required flow test when using the smaller media. Many Wix filters have these.

DBLR · 04-01-2008, 09:02 AM

The Fleetguard FS18000E is absolute at 7 microns (96% efficient at 5 microns) has a 14 gr. dirt holding capacity

Baldwin PF7977 is nominal at 1-2 microns and absolute at 5 microns, has a 24gr dirt holding capacity.

Donaldson lists P550785 is absolute at 10 microns.

The WIX 33585XE is nominal at 7 microns. 33585 is nominal at 10 microns

Absolute is 98.7% efficiency and nominal is 50% efficiency.
