Napa Gold 7356 ~6k mi. (pics)

[Sayjac]

This NG7356 was run 6k miles over a 1year oci on Accord 3.0L v6. MM was at 30% when pulled. Typical ime high quality Wix/NG solid construction, one that I prefer. Very pliable silicone adbv and did it's job holding oil in filter when store base down before cutting. Coil retainer spring very stout. When filter is cut element pushes the can open at end of cut. This edition uses dome bypass, however it's newest/updated design is now specs traditional Wix metal thread end bypass. Have one of those waiting. This is the new(er) baseplate design for Honda and others.

I paid $3.65 for this NG at local Napa semi annual NG sale. My go to filter at the moment. Solid value.

Wow looks good!
I'm surprised the pleats aren't all wavy....
what is your driving typically comprised of city/highway?

 

[Sayjac]

I'd say a mixture of mostly local and some highway. Usually I'll get to 15% MM at 65-6700 miles in 9 months. So really this was a bit less driving than usual over the time frame.

But ime, WIX/NG tend to keep uniform straight pleating. Same for the NG 1334 I've used. That's said, perfectly straight pleating not a huge deal for me. And for less than $4, hard to beat.

Yep, I agree. And it would have been within Honda fci recommendations. But have I quite stash of this size/application so went with oil and filter the change. BD+3323 I've had for awhile replaced it.

Some close out/clearance PP 5w20 from O'R I bought a few years ago for ~$2/qt iirc.

It was pretty indicative of results but here's another.

Looks good lol like they always do

 

[abycat]

Looks perfect.

 

[Sayjac]

^^^^Agreed. That been my experience/results with all the NGs I've used including the NG1334 and 1348 I've run. For silicone abdv filter with respectable efficiency, solid value at less than $4.
