[QUOTE="69ST, post: 178789, member: 5"] Unless something has changed, NAPA filters are made by Wix. A friend of mine was part of NAPA management, back in the late 1980s; that's where I first learned this little tidbit. I'd say that Bosch oil filters are a good choice, too...if you can actually find them locally. Mobil-1 filters are like an [I]okay[/I] 3rd or 4th choice, decent but overpriced and better quality is available. The other good value is Castrol GTX oil, for the money it's hard to top. Valvoline still sells good quality oil too. But, be aware that the oil game took another dramatic shift last year. The details and results were lengthy that I couldn't make it all the way through the reading...and it's not good news. Mobil-1, AMSOIL and Castrol Syntec are still the same just a little pricey if not purchased on-sale. I still belive in 3000-3500 mile oil change intervals, for car engines. Just to be clear, the oil reformulations for the bike crowd are really bad news...especially for fans of Rotella. [/QUOTE]
