NapaGold Filter Comparisons

We've been selling Wix/NapaGold filters for over ten years, and we often get asked about the quality of Wix against the other brands. So we decided to take a major cross-section of filters and cut them open so we could weigh them, measure them, and display them so you can see for yourselves what you're buying.

This is an overview table the LIGHT DUTY filters; to see more in-depth photos, click on the links to the one-on-one comparisons.

The NapaGold HEAVY DUTY filters often come in standard, XE (extended efficiency), and XD (extended drain) variations:

• Extended Efficiency (XE) - The XE filter is built with a synthetic media that filters to a more stringent micron rating.
• Extended Duration (XD) – The XD filter is built to allow a longer time between oil changes by lessening the micron rating in the media. For an example, see the NapaGold 7745XD page.

Since we also sell a lot of heavy duty filters, we wanted to cut some of those up to show you what’s inside. To see more in-depth photos, click on the links to the one-on-one comparisons.
