Anyone use NAPA brand filters?
Anyone use NAPA brand filters?
I would ask if they have different grades of oil filters. And use the best. I bet O Reilly’s has an ac filter for that truck.
Yes, I have been using NAPA for several years, made by Wix last I knew. I also use NAPA brand syn. oil, which is a Valvoline product, I have almost 300,000 miles on my 99 Yukon.
NAPA Gold filters are made by Wix....good stuff.
Almost any filter will be ok with that truck. I used super tech forever on my 2000 model . had 230k miles on it when i sold it , and i still see a young kid driveing it 5 yrs later. And he drives the crap out of it .

Very good filters. But I try to use OE filters for all my vehicles.

Used thousands of them when I had a repair business. Usually kept a hundred or so in stock. Haven’t used any in several years now. I would expect them to be good now though.
A lot of filters will work fine with that engine. I'd stick with a NAPA Gold or Wix. Hell I even ran a cheap FRAM a lot on my LS before I knew how bad they were.

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.
The stores do not make them and most store brand filters are made by wix or similar companies. Same thing can be said for the OEM brands.
Worrying about filter brand and construction is not all that importantly if you are changing them when you change the oil and are doing oil changes at a proper interval.

I got used to using the K & N HP filters with the 1" Welded nut on the back. It makes installing and taking it off so much simpler, just use a 1 inch socket. I wish all oil filters had this.
Yeah those are nice. However, uou are probably paying several dollars for that feature. Personally I would rather them not have it and save a buck but if some shop put them on with a breaker bar I would be glad to have that feature if I were working behind them.Originally Posted by spinningreel

Yes you will be fine. Napa gold.
Thats a good filter. I mostly sell Delco for these trucks.
FWIW I had a 2003 Chevy 5.3 from 2005-2018. I always used WIX filters and Mobile 1. Good truck.
Serious question, how does someone know a good filter from a bad one?
Search on Youtube for filters being cut open to see how they're made and there's even some tests done to check for flow and filtration rate. There's a reason so many people swear by Wix and the NAPA branded Wix.
