Napa Premium Vs Purolator (Regular)

[4x4taco]

Does anyone know the efficiency rating of the Napa premium air filters? I'm looking at either the Napa premium or purolator regular air filter for our cars. The napa premiums look more plush and thicker. The regular purolator is more flat paper like. Purolator has on the box 96.5% efficient. I can't get any data on the napa premium. The napa's cost me $20, the purolators $10. Seeing if it's worth the extra cash. I change my filters every 2nd or 3rd oil change. so 20-30k air filter intervals. We live in the city, no dirt roads or anything like that. Just looking to keep the family cars in tip top shape and save money where I can.

Go for the Purolator.....

I think Purolator has a rebate going on their air filter (as well as the Clasic oil filters).

The Napa Gold's I've seen (for the same application) had more media and felt more substantial than the Purolators they replaced.. but YMMV. That does not automatically mean they are a better filter though..

NAPA air filters usually do not sit will in the housings, go for the puro.

10-4 guys. I was thinking... is the Napa Primo really twice as efficient or good? But they are asking twice the price. I don't run any kind of oiled filters.... I like OEM types. Ok, I'll run the purolator and save my money. I doubt the car will last any longer with the napa. I religiously maintenance ours cars, so should have no problems getting 150k out of a Honda that's maintenanced like ours.

Napa gold air filter is made by WIX, which is available on amazon for a cheaper price.
