Oil Filter Friday,
Watch a New Automotive oil filter inspection video every Friday on this channel.
@JAC 08 The Platinum in this video has a Nominal micron rating of 15 and I believe the silver has a nominal rating of 21. The Platinums are on sale this month at Napa, and I think are a great buy. Here's an article that can probably explain micron ratings better than me.www.lenntech.com/library/fine/absolute/absolute-nominal-filters.htm
@JAC 08 You know the micron ratings are very confusing and I take all of them with a grain of salt. One site will say one thing, another says something else and a 3rd also comes up with a different number. This oil filter may not filtrate as well as say a Fram Ultra, (99% at 20 microns), I don't know for sure but it's a good oil filter.
@@WhipCityWrencher fram filter NO THANK U
Have to be honest w you. I never thought crap bout Napa. Though I believe the Platinum is damn nice. Goes on my Amsoil, Boss, Purple, Wix Xp alts for my car #47356
Which would you choose between a Mobil 1 oil filter ve the Napa Platium oil filter?
Thanks for doing these videos!
NAPA periodically runs sales on the Platinum. I usually stock up when they do. You can get them cheaper than the Gold during those sales.
Your Welcome👍, Thanks! 😊
The main difference in the two seem to be the platinum media is 13" shorter, has a metal backing, and media is thicker. I like the Platinum better for those reasons.
I agree! But you can't go wrong with either tbh.
I made this comment on another of your videos but my local NAPA store manager said they are discontinuing the Platinum filter. I bought one recently for my 2011 RAM 5.7 L Hemi, and I like them a lot. The Gold level filters will be their top shelf filter, and they are manufactured overseas. I guess NAPA wasn’t selling enough Platinum filters, made in the USA. Sad.
Even though the Platinum filter media is shorter, it filters deeper into the surface, so it can collect more grime. The Gold filters more on it's surface.
When I use Napa oil filters I prefer the Napa gold over the Platinum, Wix Xp is the same as a Napa Platinum, I change a lot of oil and used both.
Interestingly, me too in Napa GOLD...... THOUHG ACTULLY switching to “AIR AND Cabin OEM, “ON MY 2015 Dodge Journey....very high dust load here in Helena VALLEY.MT... ps: IN FEB. 2021 ****”, the NAPA GOLD “AIR FILTER “ did NOT FIT in my 2015 Journey 4 CYL plenum, spent more than half hour trying/ fitting/ pushing , & returned to NAPA....DROVE TO MOPAR DEALER for OEM again ( actually my AMAZON order for MOPAR Filter sent the **wrong JOURNEY ( for the 6 CYL) Air FIlter... Actually, a first time for me in NAPA & their GOLD LINE NOT FITTING.....etc... Been using a lot of AIR FIKTER OEM lately......after switching out KN OILED filters (* actually never had a problem over many years in and around WARSAW Indians, though lower Dust loads,).
Wix xp is different than Napa Platinum ua-cam.com/video/wP8fO-It0-Y/v-deo.html
You should do a short video just on bypass relief. There are so many videos out there where people say the bypass relief is the big coil spring. To my knowledge, that is false. The coil spring provides tension only. Bypass relief is either the upper style you show in this video, or a leaf for tension instead of a coil and that leaf will have a small bypass spring and valve built into it, or the filter canister has bypass built into the canister. Or in the case of some hydraulic filters I've seen, there is no bypass which is confirmed on the Wix website under that spec category which says "none." Example Wix WL10079
I've done a few on bypass valves, here are two, ua-cam.com/video/LQeFiW4YXcU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Fb6I7vVD7j0/v-deo.html
@@WhipCityWrencher Thank you so much. I have some videos on my channel covering tractor filters, so I put together the 6 types of bypass I'm aware of into one video. I had to use some clips from you for the upper style. If you are interested, I have it unlisted, not published to subs yet: ua-cam.com/video/38HSd1kNlo4/v-deo.html The 6 types being: 1 upper canister bypass with leaf, 2 upper canister bypass with coil spring, 3 canister bypass with leaf, 4 canister bypass with coil spring, 5 bypass valve integrated into leaf spring, and 6 no bypass (e.g. some hydraulic filters).
@@Redneck_Ed Great Video👍 Well Done 💯 I don't know if you know this but filters that don't have a bypass valve are designed for engines that have a separate bypass valve in the engine. here's an example of one in the link. www.amazon.com/ACDelco-25013759-Professional-Engine-Filter/dp/B000EPWRPM/ref=pd_bxgy_thbs_d_sccl_1/139-6939633-1146057?pd_rd_w=zJs3d&content-id=amzn1.sym.2b132e63-5dcd-4ba1-be9f-9e044543d59f&pf_rd_p=2b132e63-5dcd-4ba1-be9f-9e044543d59f&pf_rd_r=K4QDW9NYJEZ6Y9HK7YDB&pd_rd_wg=EoEy4&pd_rd_r=7cf4a56d-01de-467d-b5a7-5debc25b44b4&pd_rd_i=B000EPWRPM&psc=1
Regardless of brand, ALWAYS look in the filter before installation. You would be surprised how many new filters have visible surface rust in them. Fram is probably the worst in that regard. The last time I bought a Wix filter it had a long curly metal shaving in it! Tapping the baseplate after assembly seems kinda dumb to me.
I think twice a year Napa runs their 50% off sale on filters, spring/fall. I stock up on everything...for jeeps.. tractor, air and oil and fuel filters. Always use Gold no complaints. Recent problem I had was finding an oil filter for Chevy 2.7 turbo 2021 Silverado. Used a WIX because couldn't get a Gold (I know same thing). Just ordered 3 Golds from store.. online they were unavailable. Great video, thanks.
Thank You!
And Thanks for your feedback.👍🙏😊
'18 Tundra here that has been dealer serviced since birth. I'm sooooo tempted to changing my own oil with this filter, along with Pennzoil Ultra synthetic. I'm hoping to stop that dreaded "tick" at start up.
This is an older video and these filters have changed some, they no longer have the base end bypass valves.
If the tick goes away as the motor warms up you might have an exhaust manifold leak.
@@southerncross3638 well, it's not so much a "tick", but more closer to a rattle
I learned something. I agree. I will change too. Good video.
I'm using the Napa Platinum because of this video!
I'm not trying to sell oil filters, but
Wow, that's quite the compliment!
Thanks! 🙌
@@WhipCityWrencher It is a good filter and easy to find in Virginia.
Hi whip 👍🐕🐾
Hi Missy, Thanks👍
excellent comparison, thank you for your effort. I've always preached CAT and NAPA filters you can see the quality. Just a note Platinum line was made for synthetic oils, gold is for conventional. I've used your comparison along with an Amsoil and Royal purple video; Napa by far looks to be the better value and better quality, micron rating same or better I use CAT and Napa on my duramax and heavy equipment never failed me and I've been in the business for 22 years now. Thanks again!
You're Very Welcome!👍
Thanks for watching!😊
Either filter works perfectly fine with any oil. If they don't and you have actual evidence to back that statement then I would say that they are not worth buying. I have used countless Wix/Napa Gold filters with full synthetic oil without issue.
Thanks, for comments,, I actually use NAPA GOLD for my MOBIL ONE...vehicle .. I UNDERSTAND THE PLATINUM MKRE DESIGN longer intervals:: I believe the Gold perfect for MICRONS, *& filter compositions @ routine mileages.,..& my go to (;actually use ROYAL PURPLES FOR longer intervals/ Higher miles).
What about Baldwin Filters? They make there own filters and there micron ratings as Good if not better than Fleetguard or NAPA.
@@ironmike7339 that’s a good catch Michael, where I’m from them baldwins are hard to come by. Again it’s all about that micron rating. Remember though synthetic oil, synthetic filter media. That’s my recommendation.
My 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 5.2 V8 is still going strong for 28 years without engine or transmission overhaul. Right now it is over 423,000 miles. Several years ago, I've used conventional oil then blue smoke came out from tail pipe as I didn't like so, I switched 5W-30 Mobil One Synthetic oil (no high mileage or no extended). I changing oil every 6 months Spring and Fall since retired is fewer driving or change at 5,000 miles but not beyond 7,000 or 8,000 miles plus, added engine restoration solution with Royal Purple oil filter for years (changing max 10,000 miles). Additional, I've reduced engine thermostat to 15 degrees (180 instead of 195 degrees) to prolong engine life without any problem or always passed smog check. Also, I've used mostly Chevron 87 octane gas of trying not get a cheap gas brand too.
Wow sounds like you take care of your Jeep.👍
Yes, top-tier gasoline is good.
I too went to a 180 thermostat, because 180 usually means around185 and 195 usually means 200+
Keep up the good work.👍😊
It sounds like you really care about your rig, and that you want what's best for a long, trouble-free engine life. Me, too !! 😁
Chevron 87 Octane is a wise choice -- consistant quality and performance.
Mobil 1 is a POPULAR oil, but it tests poorly -- Pennzoil Ultra Platinum tests MUCH better, and costs about the same.
You'll find that the Bosch Premium oil filter tests better than the Royal Purple oil filter, and for LESS money.
And then, there is the subject of ENGINE TEMPERATURE -- VERY important, but so often misunderstood.
You say you dropped your Thermostat Temp by 15 degrees "to prolong engine life" -- BUT -- that 15-degree temp drop actually SHORTENS your engine's life !
Years ago, we ran our engines at 180 degrees -- no problems.
When they started getting serious about emissions, it was discovered (and proved) that engines performed better and lasted longer when operated at higher temperatures -- closer to 200 degrees F.
By the early '90s, commmon thermostat temps were 195 F, with some GM cars at 205 F.
Old-school guys like me and you kinda flipped out, 'cause we thought that "cooler is better" -- but we were un-informed.
Now, we have decades of research that shows that our engines run better, longer, and with much less air pollution than in those early days.
I've found the MOTORAD 195-Degree thermostat to be the top-performer over a variety of temperatures and climates.
@@SlikLizrd thanks, interesting………etc.
i think napa Platinum and wix xp are same, also like purolator boss
True. 😊
Gotta take those o-rings off to lube them with some oil so they don't stick. I have been doing that to all filters I change. Never have a leak or even a rolled o-ring(when they are circular material).
Thumbs 👍 up before watching
I just picked up a Napa Platinum # 47356 for my Honda Civic and these oil filters are up to $14.79 plus tax, now. Still made in the USA and I checked to make sure it had a silicone ADV. Metal core now has louvers, instead of the holes, on this filter anyways. I like to use the Purolator Boss, as well, but they're not cheap, either. I'm gonna have to start watching out for the sales I guess. Thanks again for the videos. This was a good one and a very good comparison of two really good filters.
Hi Adh,
Your Welcome! and
Thank You!
Made by Wix, good filters.
Thanks for the feedback.👍🙌
I like the metal screen backing😊
Wix also works with amsoil filters as well.
It looks like the Napa Platinum is the Gold with the Purolator Boss filter media. Since they are all made by Mann & Hummel, they all share similar characteristics although the Boss does not have the baseplate end bypass at least for my application.
Yep,👍
I was thinking the same thing, I also noticed that they don't always have the same bypass valve , I guess it depends on what vehicles the oil filer is going on.
@@WhipCityWrencher I thought the Boss was 25 micron rating
@@vicarod Yes that's what Purolator has on their web site (25 microns). If you see and feel this filter media you'll swear it's the same as the Purolator.
Mann + Hummel own/make Purolator, Wix, Napa, and some others, so that's why I think it's the same filter media.
I think the micron rating listing's should be the same, why there not I don't know. But I could be wrong, who knows. 🤔
I've been watching comparison videos and I'm switching to NAPA
It's a Good oil filter made by Wix.
Thanks for the Feedback👍🙌😊
Looks like the Napa platinum is an excellent contender with the Purolator boss
A shocker to me. I've never seen an XP/Platinum with Wix thread end bypass before. The vast majority of XP/Platinum have always been dome bypass. I believe you found an outlier with this application. I think I may have an answer why though. Using Wix look up, the 7055 is only for Subaru with the high 27psi bypass. My guess is Wix only wanted to make one bypass type across all the 7055 filters so they picked thread end for all. Cool find. Thanks for the video.
Your probably correct about the bypass valve location, I don't think I've seen another Platinum with the upper bypass, but you never know there could be others out there😊.
Glad you liked the video.👍🙌
I feel there is two areas where that could be revolutionized by some industry, hell id try if I had money but the oil filter sure by the catalytic converter should be changed, there has to be a way to get the same results without the blowback pressure
I absolutely love your comparisons
Of the different oil filters I think i am going to switch to the Napa platinum.
Or the puralator Boss however not sure yet.
I run Amsoil signature series synthetic oil and the Amsoil filters
at present however it looks like the Napa platinum and the puralator Boss are superior to the Amsoil’s filters and cheaper.
Again absolutely awesome and I am subscribed to all of your videos and I always give you a thumbs up.
Thank You! I Greatly Appreciate It😊🙌
This video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work. WOW very interesting 1st class very kool great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great
Thank You!😊
Glad you liked the video I appreciate it.👍
I saw the Mann Hammel logo on the Platinum filter. I believe Mann Hammel makes purolator as well. Makes sense they’d use the same components for other brands.
Yep, they do.
Thanks for your feedback!
Mann+Hummel - means these filters will turn into a piece of shit!!!
Ive been using NAPA Platinum for years
They are well made oil filters👍
I’ve been using the wix do and today they were out of them so I got the NAPA Platinum $14.24 out the door… VERY HAPPY I did. This will be my new filter to use. Thanks for a GREAT VIDEO. I’ll subscribe to see if you ever find a better filter. Chevy 454. 🛎️🛎️🛎️
PS anybody think I can find PROVEN better oil than Mobil 1 full synthetic?
I just picked up a 47055 from NAPA and the design has changed since the one I bought last year. There is no longer a base plate end bypass valve with a coil spring. It looks like the silicone anti-drainback valve is much thicker or it somehow doubles as a bypass valve. The new one has a date code of 102821 and the one on the car has a date code of 101520 although it is hard to read after the heat cycles it has gone through. The WIX 57055XP I used before the 47055 also had a base plate end bypass valve with a coil spring.
Hi Jeff, Yep,
I'll keep opening them up now and then just to see what they look like but I suspect they'll all go to a dome end bypass valve eventually.
Thanks for sharing and the feedback👍
@@WhipCityWrencher I'm a sucker for an oil filter with two coil springs.
@@jeffkortsch8276 😂
@@WhipCityWrencher Have you opened a Napa Platinum filter lately? Just wondering if they still have the coil spring & the same bypass valve. Love your channel new subscriber.
@@bradhelfrich6602 Hi Brad, Thanks for Subscribing👍
Here's a link to the last Platinum spin-on filter that I opened and they still have a coil spring but have changed the bypass valves. I'm pretty sure they've done this to all of their oil filters. ua-cam.com/video/TFT0I4ka-90/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
What many videos do not show is how Motorcraft Filters are one of only few companies using a thread end bypass, Wix, Napa, and Royal Purple all had outstanding design and when they got bought out, the designs changed and in my opinion they are a cheap design. No longer made with highest quality. Royal Purple Filters, Napa Gold and Wix have all changed from a nice steel base plate with thread end bypass, Silicone ADBV, evenly spaced holes and steel coil spring, solid canister casing. It would be interesting comparison how they have changed. Now Purolator is better than those. I currently use Motorcraft although I know they use a leaf spring and the Purolator is a decent design, the Boss is nice and it shows filter media is better than Motorcraft. Not a fan of dome end bypass. Many new oil filters displayed in videos don't even come close to what RP and Napa Wix used to be years ago. The new ACDelco E core is an embarrassment. Why do these companies think they can change a proven design and still have a loyal following for a cheaper product. They must think customers don't notice. I expected K and N to be higher quality, the dome end bypass design is cheap and does not look built with durability.
Let’s be honest about this though, relatively few people give much thought about the choices they have regarding basic vehicle maintenance. The majority of people are going to go with what grandad used (and give no further thought), what is cheap, what their oil change station uses, what’s on sale, etc. Very few of us really consider micron efficiency, gasket material, flow rate, additive packages, and so forth. And to add to the honesty if the majority of people stuck to 50% manufacturer recommended oci’s, stuff like micron ratings wouldn’t have much of an effect on the health of the engines. I.E. at least the lubrication side of modern engines would be in better general shape (other than atrocious engine design not withstanding).
Point is, we are the vast minority that find entertainment and enrichment in making informed decisions about our vehicle investments. What prompted my reply is your, “they must think customers don’t notice…” My reply is yes, in fact most customers don’t notice. Because most people don’t even consider doing the research. Most people will just go with the cheapest, or most convenient, or easiest choice…or would even know that there are entire communities that geek out on just motor oil related discussions. BITOG being a prime example.
Looks like a great filter but I checked the Napa website and the micron rating is 21 not 15 but still super good. My next oil change I will give it try
Nice video thanks. Today I bought the exact Platinum for my 2020 Forester.
Thank You!
The Platinum is a good choice.
I'm still using the original black Tokio roki Japanese made on my forester
The plat is tailor made more towards marine applications as they are working at higher RPM's than most cars/trucks. I cannot remember exactly what it was my sales rep at NAPA told me but it had something to do with that as well as the seal on the filter.
I use the Gold or just Wix (same thing) These fancy schmancy extend life etc. filters with their fancy packages and sensational claims are just marketing gimmicks by the after market companies. None of the commercial engine oil filters get into big hyped filter marketing B.S. They all just use regular high quality filters. The engine manufactures don't get into it either.
Hi Martin,
Watch my next two videos, tomorrow 6/17/21, and Tuesday 6/22/21. I think you'll be surprised. Thanks for watching and for your feedback.👍🙏😊
The NAPA PLATINUM holds twice the dirt of the NAPA GOLD. THE GOLD is already a great filter. By you logic no one would use synthetic oil or electricity over coal for that matter. However, it's you engine so do what you want.
@@stanleynowak9325 The next time you change your oil, cut the filter open and look at it. If you're lucky, you might fine a few specs of debris on the paper
Hey The filter media is one reason I like them then wire mesh excellent filters and they go on sale.
Yes, they are nice oil filters. Their on sale this month.
so I just bought a couple different model numbers of this filter for family members since the sale is so good this month(april 2021). The one for the 2021 Kia Soul has what appears to be the nitrile rubber base ring or whatever it's called, but the anti-drainback valve is silicon. HOWEVER, on the filter for the 2013 Nissan Quest they're BOTH black, indicating to me they're both nitrile rubber. I would have wanted the quest's filter to have silicon because for the vehicle it's supposed to ride out a 7,500 mile oil change interval and the filter is soooo small! I don't get it. Maybe for the sale they're going cheap, but honestly, I did not have a great experience at Napa this time. I purchased a total of 4 filters, paid all up front, they had ONE when I paid and then I had to go back 2 more times. NOT convenient.
I'm pretty sure the Platinum filters have silicone anti-drain back valves, sometimes they can be black in color. What is the filter number? I'll pick one up and opened her up and see, would make for a good video if it's nitrile rubber.
@@WhipCityWrencher so the little one for the Quest which appears to have the nitrile antidrainback valve and o-ring is model 41358 and the other for the 2021 Soul with just the black O-ring but silicon aintidrainback valve is 41334. Thanks
@@dgunearthed7859 Okay,
I just checked their website and it says the 41358 has a silicone anti-drain back valve. I highly doubt their site is wrong on this one because the platinum is a top-of-the-line filter. I can pick one up anyway just to do a video though. It'll be a while before it's published, but I wouldn't hesitate to use that filter.
@@WhipCityWrencher don't worry about it...anyone can look in the box if they let you (not like their filters are just hanging out on shelves like at walmart) and see the red and black anti-drainback valves. I'm sure one of their corporate spokes-holes would give an answer we all believe. lol
If you change your oil reguarly, is the Gold filter better, in regards to flow, and therefore engine longevity ?
If you change your oil regularly the Gold will do a good job. Whether it has a better oil flow than the Platinum, (I dont know)
I don’t think you should have to rely on the oil filter bypass valve ,that means you’ve let the oil go to long and it should’ve been changed much sooner, what do you think?
I agree, if you do regular oil changes you shouldn't have any problems. About the only time, the bypass valve may open is in the winter when the temps get cold the oil may thicken.
I think pretty much every canadian vehicle that been parked outside in the frigid cold start its morning with open bypass valve. Oil thicken up at that temperature.
I know about “Taco Tuesday”… Now there’s “Oil Filter Friday”… Learn something new every day !!
Switching to platinum for my trk .🥂👍👍

The Napa platinum filters are hard to come by can you recommend a comparable oil filter that also has the spring coil . Thank you
Better off with the Gold, and change it 30% more often.
Hi Ben,
I open up a used Napa Gold 1348 on May 16th.
A year later, it goes from 11.99 to 15.99
Yep, and a lot of other stuff has gone up as well.
Sad but true. Thanks for your feedback👍
How fine is the filter media? 5, 10, 20, 30 micron? What % filtering capability? That all means more than how heavy the cans are.
6:15 on the video, that's all I could find.
Good info bottom line invest into Quality oil filter or else u end up buying a new engine
So if most all filters you buy have a bypass valve in them that is set up for 12 - 15 psi and your engine runs down the road at 30 psi what percentage of oil gets filtered anyway? When it starts up for a few seconds before the pressure comes up? Most car engines make more than 15 psi even at idle. You can find a TG3682 at walmart once in a while that does not have a bypass in it so wouldnt that be better. It fits 3/4 x 16 threads which covers filters like tg3600 and m1-209, fl400 and gobbs of common car filters so wouldnt that be best to filter 100% of your oil rather then ?
Once your engine is warmed up and you are using the correct viscosity oil for your engine and the oil filters is not clogged. Then the answer to your 1st question is it should be filtering 100%.
You need the bypass valve in case your filter gets clogged or the oil is too thick especially when cold, without the bypass valve parts in your engine could starve for much-needed oil. The bypass valve will not open until the pressure going through the filter media is more pressure than it takes to open the bypass valve.
Typically in a warm engine even if your oil pressure is above the bypass valve setting, the oil will flow through the filter media easily and the bypass valve will not open.
I hope this helps.
@@WhipCityWrencher oh really i have that filter on my diesel tractor that was made in 1980 and its not a problem. What are you going to bypass in a gas engine that runs on a clean highway. Sludge? Metal shavings? It doesnt need the bypass and no you dont get %100 filtration. Look up any filter and they are made to bypass at 12 psi. You could change oil and never put a filter on and never know the difference. We plug chevy V8s and run a non bypass filter and never have a problem. Sometimes 100 psi cold happens and the filter never bursts or comes off.
@@billyjack8119 That's up to you, I'll run oil filters that have bypass valves.
Your oil pressure gauge is measuring oil pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, where as the bypass valve only sees the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the filter itself. In other words, you might have 60 PSI engine oil pressure, but only a few psi drop through clean filter media with warm oil.
Doesn't Wix make the Napa filters? If so, what is the equivalent Wix?
Wix 57055 or Wix XP 57055
I’ve been using wix but I think Iam going to get NAPA
Ah,
You just missed the sale, it ended yesterday. No worries though, they go on sale a few times a year.👍😊
My 4 runner mounts the filter with the threads down on top of the engine. Is there a problem with the bypass valve on that end of the filter or no matter? Thx.
Jeff
If it's mounted with the base plate down then I would recommend using an oil filter with a silicone anti-drain back valve.
@@WhipCityWrencher for sure. But what about the bypass valve? Looks like some filters mount it on either end.
@@WhipCityWrencher also what's your filter of choice after all the filters you've reviewed? Thx again
@@jeffdeluca1153 You'll find that most oil filters have the bypass valves on the dome end.
@@jeffdeluca1153 I like the Purolator Boss and the Fram Endurance oil filters.
Thanks for you videos they are vary interesting. I was wondering if you can leave a quality oil filter like Napa platinum or Fran ultra synthetic in for more than 1 OCI
Also can you cut open a Hasting oil filter that can be used in my 2008 LMM Duramax
Your Welcome,
👍
The Fram Ultra is supposed to be good for 20k miles. I believe the Napa Platinum say's to follow manufactures OCI recommendations.
It really depends on your driving.
I'm no Expert, this is only my opinion, me personally, I do short OCI's. I wouldn't use any oil filter for more than 10k miles or one year, and in that time frame you could change your oil as much as you want plus I like to use a good synthetic oil.
( oil and filters are cheap, engines are not.)
Sure, I can do your Hasting oil filter. Is the LF524 the correct size? In any case it won't be shown till sometime the end of Feb. Let me know if this is the correct filter you want shown.😊
Perfect that is the one. I usually use wix or Napa gold but they are becoming so expensive here in New Mexico I am thinking of buying a few of the Hastings on Rock Auto and save a little. I really like the spring used in a few remaining filters now days.
@@clydeespinosa6286 Okay, I'll try and put it on Feb. 19th. 😊

I have used a Fram Ultra for two consecutive oil change intervals on my Subaru and Hyundai vehicles without issue. I know of several people who have done this and reported good results. Wix, Hastings, and the Fram Ultra are all good choices for the Duramax.
What keeps the coil spring in place?
There's a recess in the bottom of the endcap that it fits into. It's also under pressure so it won't slide side to side.
@@WhipCityWrencher thank you so much. I had no idea I was going to get an answer to this. have a great day🙂🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@josephpuderer1368 👍
The Coil Spring is held in place by the Coil Spring. It is NOT attached to any part of the oil filter, and is "held in place" by the pressure it applies between the cannister and the filter element.
The Coil Spring was found to have DAMAGED the CANNISTERS, and was replaced in later models by the Stamped Steel Retainer.
Another reason for dumping the Coil Spring was the environmental concerns -- the Coil Spring takes much more energy to produce.
Thanks can you do a video comparison of the M1 303A vs M1 303 extended performance filter. This would be part of your diesel series and fit my D max
Sure but it won't be out till sometime in July because I'm getting kinda swamped with requests. I'll make a note of it, but in case I forget and you don't hear from me for a while just remind me.🙌😊
On second thought I changed my mind. (coming out next week) I did a video on a Mobil M1 with and without the A, they don't make the ones without the A so there hard to find, and if you do find one on eBay or Amazon there expensive. Pick a pair that they still make and are easy to get Thanks.
Thanks I appreciate your efforts
Whats wierd is i bought these two filters for my duramax and i forgot which one but one wouldnt even thread on. And they are both listed for my truvk
Something tells me the whip enjoys a reefereshment
Whenching tabbaco
@@jonathanfierberg3807 Nope,
I do enjoy a few cold beers though🍻
Wanna do a cv joint on my accord have a beer after ?? I’m in nw ct
I’ll pay u obviously
@@jonathanfierberg3807 Sorry, but I think I'll pass. I don't like working on vehicles as much as I used to. Once I get under one it's hard to get back up, lol. I just work on mine and a few close relatives.
I don't trust the silicone anti drain back valve having white powder substance on it. Were the employees high that day? Other than that, I'm cool with it. Has any one called and asked if that white powder is what I suspect it is?....lol😅🤣
👍🤣🤣
i would not think white powder is anything butt a manufacturing powder 2 help in going down the line, nothing more than a lubricant/slider...
It’s a wix
If you had to choose between the Napa platinum or the Purolator boss which would you go with?
I would use either one, I'm leaning towards the Napa Platinum because some of them have a nice upper bypass valve, but some have a bypass valve at the dome end just like the Purolator Boss (depends on your vehicle's filter size). I think the filter media and filtration numbers are similar and your engine wouldn't notice. Also, the Napa Platinums are on sale this month about half the price of the Boss. Currently, I'm using the Purolator Boss, but when I change my oil I'm going back to a Fram Ultra. But your good to go with either one.😊
@@WhipCityWrencher Thank you!
@@WhipCityWrencher could you go over an amsoil oil filter? I just recently switched to that brand of oil with very positive results. but id like your input before trying one of their oil filters.
@@williamjamison2211 The Amsoil oil filters are $ high, and I normally don't like to spend that much on an oil filter, but since I never made a video on one I'll open one up. Give me a filter number and I'll see what I can do. The video won't be shown till sometime next month as I have other requests before you.
@@WhipCityWrencher Thank you! and yes I know they are high! I'll look up the filter number for my suv and get back to you asap! And that's totally fine I understand :)
Damn, micron rating of 15? Winder what the percentage is.
This is an older video and I doubt they make them this way anymore with the base-end bypass valve. I should have said a Nominal micron rating of 15 which generally means 50% at 15 microns.
Not trying to start anything but it seems that the bottom of the filters was ignored and that's where the difference is. The bypass valve is different I just watched on another video. It was on the chanel carsntoys
When was his video made? Post the link to it.
@@WhipCityWrencher OK It was about a year ago.
Hey bud , is there a way to be able to know if the by-pass valve is at the top of the filter with out opening it up ?
Sometimes you can tell by looking in the (outlet/center hole), if you freeze this Napa video at 1:20 you can see it's a flat on the bottom, so the bypass valve is probably near the base or also called a upper bypass valve. Now if you freeze this Wix video at :52 here is the link, you can see a bypass valve on the (bottom or dome end). Hope this helps. ua-cam.com/video/5aqaw8aL630/v-deo.html

July 4th, 1776. November 12, 1909. November 9, 1938.
These are $15 for my car so.... pass??? Since I change oil every 5k miles. Per the manu.
Napa filters where we put our money in the filter not outside of it.
11 bucks for one vs 4 for the OE on my truck... I'll stick with OE.
The time to get them is when they go on sale and get a few of them.
Thanks for your feedback. 👍😊
$29.49 for a Duramax, L O L! That's amsoil fanboi pricing right there, normal people not that stupid.
The Platinum is your favorite filter?
It's one of my favorites, along with the Napa Gold, Fram Ultra, some of the Wix XP's, and Purolator Boss that I have in my vehicle right now, and some others are very close also. I'm still looking for my perfect oil filter, every filter I open has something that I dont like about it, can't seem to find my perfect oil filter, but I'll keep looking. 😊
@@WhipCityWrencher What about Amsoil or Royal Purple filters? I think they are the same? Are they better than Napa Platinum?
@@BW-kv9wj In my opinion the Amsoil and Royal Purple are good oil filters, but not any better than the filters that I mentioned, plus there overpriced. Here's a video I did on a Royal Purple, and I have an Amsoil video coming out on July 30th. ua-cam.com/video/V-TbnHsQ61c/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
@@WhipCityWrencher I’m looking forward the perfect filter too. I always thought Amsoil was the best but for $30 delivered to my house, no way. Royal Purple is the same for half the price but they are hard to find so you have to pay shipping. I just bought a few Napa Platinums and they gave me a military discount. Great deal.
I stopped watching when you called the upper seal an O ring.
O Ring, sealing ring, gasket?
@@WhipCityWrencher en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring
@@WhipCityWrencher You'd be correct to call it several things but not o ring. Technically, it's a rectangular cross section face seal but face seal will suffice. Personally, I'd prefer an o ring here but I've only seen one used a couple of times and not recently.
You are correct, sir -- It's NOT an O-Ring, but you can't blame the Whip City Wrencher for calling it what EVERYBODY ELSE calls it.
YES, it's a GASKET -- it's round like a ring, but it's NOT round in cross-section, like an O-Ring.
The GASKET provides a larger sealing area than an O-Ring of the same outside diameter, and is better suited for operating under heat and pressure than an actual O-Ring of the same size.
@@WhipCityWrencher GASKET. It's a GASKET. 😁
Who cares what the date code is?
With the consolidation in the industry, the date code is useful to know what version of the filter you might be getting.
@@fairbanksbrian NOPE. Most of the numbers/digits that are stamped on these oil filters are NOT actual "Date Codes", but are internal codes used by manufacturers for their own purposes. REAL DATE CODES are expressed as " mm/dd/yyyy", and are only found on a few oil filters.
Who cares !?? THE SMART PEOPLE CARE, that's who !!
Date Codes are used throughout every industry -- because people want to KNOW just when a product was PRODUCED -- for whatever reason they may have.
The problem with these so-called "Date Codes" is that MOST of them are NOT actual date codes, but internal codes that the manufacturers use.
These so-called "Date Codes" are not date codes at all -- unless they read "mm/dd/yyyy" or , in some cases, "dd/mm/yyyy".
