What are your thoughts on the silver line? I always get the gold but they had none in stock.

True. I used to use them when they were cheap, but our local Napa stores have raised prices a lot. Now I go with a Motorcraft usually as it has better filtration and ADBV, and about the same price now. But I never had any complains with them at the "old" prices (2 years ago, say).

Silver = ProSelect; IIRC

Not exactly. They are probably very close in spec and construction, but there are separate part #s, price points, and clearly different filters for many Silver vs. ProSelect fitments. There's some difference between them, but no one has ever got an answer from Napa or Wix what it is.

Silver=3000 mile OCI, max. Gold=7500 mile OCI'ish.

Oil or air filter interval? Or are you saying the silver lets so much more dirt in, that the oil needs to be changed at a SIGNIFICANTLY reduced interval?

This is what I've heard, but the parts are different. E.G., the "Silver" 31334 is built differently than the "Pro-Select" 21334. Different base plate and other tell-tale obvious things.
I have little doubt they are fully functionally equivalent, just curious if there is any media difference - probably not.

When I worked for NAPA I asked the filter tech line the main difference of Silver vs. Gold. Gold has bigger contamination capacity than Silver oil filter, same for air filters. The 3000 mile & 7500 was their recommendation for oil filters.
