With todays lightweight oils , I don't think the bypass really comes into use. If it does, its not like its open for miles on end.

looks similar to k&n
Who makes the napa silver or low end napa filters?
These are on $5 instant rebate at NAPA thru April.
Comes out to about $6.25 per filter.

NAPA Canada offers discounts to CAA members of 10%. I bought 2 of the 41515 for 28.88. The last time I bought the WIX 51515 I paid 38.00. This Platinum seems identical to the WIX XP! Using them on my 2011 Ford Ecoboost 3.5 with a remote dual filter setup. I set the oil monitor to 100%. I'm also running a RX dual vacuum catch can.
these filters are built very nice as are the napa golds and most wix filters but they are all pricey compared to others.

It is identical, except for the paint job and brand name on the can.
Thanks ZeeOSix.
Also wanted to say I just started using Pennzoil Platinum Fully Synthetic oil with Pure Plus technology. Since my first oil change (at 3K Kms) I had been using Quaker State synthetic oil. I now have 84K Kms on my Ecoboost truck. I stocked up on Pennzoil when it was on sale at Canadian Tire at 30% off.

I've got two more K&N's to use first, even though I'm itchin' to try a NAPA Platinum on my Colorado 3.5. So when this thread become ten years old, I'll dig up this old thread again and give a report on how the NAPA Platinum is holding up.

What ever happened to these?!??!? Just no marketing to make them known?
What ever happened to NAPA Platinum? They still make them. It's the sister filter to the WIX XP.

NAPA website has not sale-advertised a NAPA oil filter in 3-4 months now. Not even on Black Friday did a NAPA filter get price-reduced. I suspect nothing for Cyber Monday also.
I am interested in the Platinum high flow rate BTW, as indicated by my last three purchases of K&Ns. My Colorado 3.5 is cold start clatter-sensitive and these K&Ns keep my cold starts quiet.
