Napa Platinum Oil Filter Cut Open 47055 Napa Gold Oil Filter Cut Open 7705 Comparison 

@JAC 08 The Platinum in this video has a Nominal micron rating of 15 and I believe the silver has a nominal rating of 21. The Platinums are on sale this month at Napa, and I think are a great buy. Here's an article that can probably explain micron ratings better than me.www.lenntech.com/library/fine/absolute/absolute-nominal-filters.htm

@JAC 08 You know the micron ratings are very confusing and I take all of them with a grain of salt. One site will say one thing, another says something else and a 3rd also comes up with a different number. This oil filter may not filtrate as well as say a Fram Ultra, (99% at 20 microns), I don't know for sure but it's a good oil filter.

@@WhipCityWrencher fram filter NO THANK U

Have to be honest w you. I never thought crap bout Napa. Though I believe the Platinum is damn nice. Goes on my Amsoil, Boss, Purple, Wix Xp alts for my car #47356

Which would you choose between a Mobil 1 oil filter ve the Napa Platium oil filter?

Your Welcome👍, Thanks! 😊

I agree! But you can't go wrong with either tbh.

Thank You! And Thanks for your feedback.👍🙏😊

I'm not trying to sell oil filters, but Wow, that's quite the compliment! Thanks! 🙌

@@WhipCityWrencher It is a good filter and easy to find in Virginia.

You're Welcome!👍🙏😊

Thank You! The Platinum is a good choice.

I'm still using the original black Tokio roki Japanese made on my forester

Hi Adh, Your Welcome! and Thank You!

Thank You! I Greatly Appreciate It😊🙌

Hi Missy, Thanks👍

They are well made oil filters👍

Thank You!😊 Glad you liked the video I appreciate it.👍

Your probably correct about the bypass valve location, I don't think I've seen another Platinum with the upper bypass, but you never know there could be others out there😊. Glad you liked the video.👍🙌

Interestingly, me too in Napa GOLD...... THOUHG ACTULLY switching to “AIR AND Cabin OEM, “ON MY 2015 Dodge Journey....very high dust load here in Helena VALLEY.MT... ps: IN FEB. 2021 ****”, the NAPA GOLD “AIR FILTER “ did NOT FIT in my 2015 Journey 4 CYL plenum, spent more than half hour trying/ fitting/ pushing , & returned to NAPA....DROVE TO MOPAR DEALER for OEM again ( actually my AMAZON order for MOPAR Filter sent the **wrong JOURNEY ( for the 6 CYL) Air FIlter... Actually, a first time for me in NAPA & their GOLD LINE NOT FITTING.....etc...

Yes, they are nice oil filters. Their on sale this month.

Wow sounds like you take care of your Jeep.👍 Yes, top-tier gasoline is good. I too went to a 180 thermostat, because 180 usually means around185 and 195 usually means 200+ Keep up the good work.👍😊

It sounds like you really care about your rig, and that you want what's best for a long, trouble-free engine life. Me, too !! 😁 Chevron 87 Octane is a wise choice -- consistant quality and performance. Mobil 1 is a POPULAR oil, but it tests poorly -- Pennzoil Ultra Platinum tests MUCH better, and costs about the same. You'll find that the Bosch Premium oil filter tests better than the Royal Purple oil filter, and for LESS money. And then, there is the subject of ENGINE TEMPERATURE -- VERY important, but so often misunderstood. You say you dropped your Thermostat Temp by 15 degrees "to prolong engine life" -- BUT -- that 15-degree temp drop actually SHORTENS your engine's life ! Years ago, we ran our engines at 180 degrees -- no problems. When they started getting serious about emissions, it was discovered (and proved) that engines performed better and lasted longer when operated at higher temperatures -- closer to 200 degrees F. By the early '90s, commmon thermostat temps were 195 F, with some GM cars at 205 F. Old-school guys like me and you kinda flipped out, 'cause we thought that "cooler is better" -- but we were un-informed. Now, we have decades of research that shows that our engines run better, longer, and with much less air pollution than in those early days. I've found the MOTORAD 195-Degree thermostat to be the top-performer over a variety of temperatures and climates.

@@SlikLizrd thanks, interesting………etc.

Yep, they do. Thanks for your feedback!

Mann+Hummel - means these filters will turn into a piece of shit!!!

Yep,👍 I was thinking the same thing, I also noticed that they don't always have the same bypass valve , I guess it depends on what vehicles the oil filer is going on.

@@WhipCityWrencher I thought the Boss was 25 micron rating

@@vicarod Yes that's what Purolator has on their web site (25 microns). If you see and feel this filter media you'll swear it's the same as the Purolator. Mann + Hummel own/make Purolator, Wix, Napa, and some others, so that's why I think it's the same filter media. I think the micron rating listing's should be the same, why there not I don't know. But I could be wrong, who knows. 🤔

It's a Good oil filter made by Wix. Thanks for the Feedback👍🙌😊

This is an older video and these filters have changed some, they no longer have the base end bypass valves.

If the tick goes away as the motor warms up you might have an exhaust manifold leak.

@@southerncross3638 well, it's not so much a "tick", but more closer to a rattle

I've done a few on bypass valves, here are two, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LQeFiW4YXcU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fb6I7vVD7j0.html

@@WhipCityWrencher Thank you so much. I have some videos on my channel covering tractor filters, so I put together the 6 types of bypass I'm aware of into one video. I had to use some clips from you for the upper style.

@@Redneck_Ed Great Video👍 Well Done 💯 I don't know if you know this but filters that don't have a bypass valve are designed for engines that have a separate bypass valve in the engine. here's an example of one in the link. www.amazon.com/ACDelco-25013759-Professional-Engine-Filter/dp/B000EPWRPM/ref=pd_bxgy_thbs_d_sccl_1/139-6939633-1146057?pd_rd_w=zJs3d&content-id=amzn1.sym.2b132e63-5dcd-4ba1-be9f-9e044543d59f&pf_rd_p=2b132e63-5dcd-4ba1-be9f-9e044543d59f&pf_rd_r=K4QDW9NYJEZ6Y9HK7YDB&pd_rd_wg=EoEy4&pd_rd_r=7cf4a56d-01de-467d-b5a7-5debc25b44b4&pd_rd_i=B000EPWRPM&psc=1

Thanks for the feedback.👍🙌 I like the metal screen backing😊

Wix also works with amsoil filters as well.

You're Very Welcome!👍 Thanks for watching!😊

Either filter works perfectly fine with any oil. If they don't and you have actual evidence to back that statement then I would say that they are not worth buying. I have used countless Wix/Napa Gold filters with full synthetic oil without issue.

Thanks, for comments,, I actually use NAPA GOLD for my MOBIL ONE...vehicle .. I UNDERSTAND THE PLATINUM MKRE DESIGN longer intervals:: I believe the Gold perfect for MICRONS, *& filter compositions @ routine mileages.,..& my go to (;actually use ROYAL PURPLES FOR longer intervals/ Higher miles).

What about Baldwin Filters? They make there own filters and there micron ratings as Good if not better than Fleetguard or NAPA.

@@ironmike7339 that’s a good catch Michael, where I’m from them baldwins are hard to come by. Again it’s all about that micron rating. Remember though synthetic oil, synthetic filter media. That’s my recommendation.

Ah, You just missed the sale, it ended yesterday. No worries though, they go on sale a few times a year.👍😊

Thank You!👍🙏🙌 Yep, the Napa Platinum is a very good oil filter. I'd like to open up a STP XL. what filter size does your Silverado use?

@@WhipCityWrencher S10590XL They have metal end caps, coil spring, nice round non-directional holes in the center tube & rated for 10,000 miles. And usually for $9. Very satisfied with their quality !

Hi Jeff, Yep, I'll keep opening them up now and then just to see what they look like but I suspect they'll all go to a dome end bypass valve eventually. Thanks for sharing and the feedback👍

@@WhipCityWrencher I'm a sucker for an oil filter with two coil springs.

@@WhipCityWrencher Have you opened a Napa Platinum filter lately? Just wondering if they still have the coil spring & the same bypass valve. Love your channel new subscriber.

@@bradhelfrich6602 Hi Brad, Thanks for Subscribing👍 Here's a link to the last Platinum spin-on filter that I opened and they still have a coil spring but have changed the bypass valves. I'm pretty sure they've done this to all of their oil filters. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TFT0I4ka-90.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher

If you change your oil regularly the Gold will do a good job. Whether it has a better oil flow than the Platinum, (I dont know)

True. 😊

Let’s be honest about this though, relatively few people give much thought about the choices they have regarding basic vehicle maintenance. The majority of people are going to go with what grandad used (and give no further thought), what is cheap, what their oil change station uses, what’s on sale, etc. Very few of us really consider micron efficiency, gasket material, flow rate, additive packages, and so forth. And to add to the honesty if the majority of people stuck to 50% manufacturer recommended oci’s, stuff like micron ratings wouldn’t have much of an effect on the health of the engines. I.E. at least the lubrication side of modern engines would be in better general shape (other than atrocious engine design not withstanding). Point is, we are the vast minority that find entertainment and enrichment in making informed decisions about our vehicle investments. What prompted my reply is your, “they must think customers don’t notice…” My reply is yes, in fact most customers don’t notice. Because most people don’t even consider doing the research. Most people will just go with the cheapest, or most convenient, or easiest choice…or would even know that there are entire communities that geek out on just motor oil related discussions. BITOG being a prime example.

I'm pretty sure the Platinum filters have silicone anti-drain back valves, sometimes they can be black in color. What is the filter number? I'll pick one up and opened her up and see, would make for a good video if it's nitrile rubber.

@@WhipCityWrencher so the little one for the Quest which appears to have the nitrile antidrainback valve and o-ring is model 41358 and the other for the 2021 Soul with just the black O-ring but silicon aintidrainback valve is 41334. Thanks

@@dgunearthed7859 Okay, I just checked their website and it says the 41358 has a silicone anti-drain back valve. I highly doubt their site is wrong on this one because the platinum is a top-of-the-line filter. I can pick one up anyway just to do a video though. It'll be a while before it's published, but I wouldn't hesitate to use that filter.

@@WhipCityWrencher don't worry about it...anyone can look in the box if they let you (not like their filters are just hanging out on shelves like at walmart) and see the red and black anti-drainback valves. I'm sure one of their corporate spokes-holes would give an answer we all believe. lol

Sure but it won't be out till sometime in July because I'm getting kinda swamped with requests. I'll make a note of it, but in case I forget and you don't hear from me for a while just remind me.🙌😊

On second thought I changed my mind. (coming out next week) I did a video on a Mobil M1 with and without the A, they don't make the ones without the A so there hard to find, and if you do find one on eBay or Amazon there expensive. Pick a pair that they still make and are easy to get Thanks.

Thanks I appreciate your efforts

Whats wierd is i bought these two filters for my duramax and i forgot which one but one wouldnt even thread on. And they are both listed for my truvk

6:15 on the video, that's all I could find.

Your Welcome, 👍 The Fram Ultra is supposed to be good for 20k miles. I believe the Napa Platinum say's to follow manufactures OCI recommendations. It really depends on your driving. I'm no Expert, this is only my opinion, me personally, I do short OCI's. I wouldn't use any oil filter for more than 10k miles or one year, and in that time frame you could change your oil as much as you want plus I like to use a good synthetic oil. ( oil and filters are cheap, engines are not.) Sure, I can do your Hasting oil filter. Is the LF524 the correct size? In any case it won't be shown till sometime the end of Feb. Let me know if this is the correct filter you want shown.😊

Perfect that is the one. I usually use wix or Napa gold but they are becoming so expensive here in New Mexico I am thinking of buying a few of the Hastings on Rock Auto and save a little. I really like the spring used in a few remaining filters now days.

@@clydeespinosa6286 Okay, I'll try and put it on Feb. 19th. 😊

A Baldwin B1441 oil filter will be published on Feb, 16th and the Hastings LF524 comparing it to the Baldwin B1441 will be published on Feb. 19th., If you like the videos please hit the like button, Thanks! 😊

I have used a Fram Ultra for two consecutive oil change intervals on my Subaru and Hyundai vehicles without issue. I know of several people who have done this and reported good results. Wix, Hastings, and the Fram Ultra are all good choices for the Duramax.

Wix 57055 or Wix XP 57055

Sometimes you can tell by looking in the (outlet/center hole), if you freeze this Napa video at 1:20 you can see it's a flat on the bottom, so the bypass valve is probably near the base or also called a upper bypass valve. Now if you freeze this Wix video at :52 here is the link, you can see a bypass valve on the (bottom or dome end). Hope this helps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5aqaw8aL630.html

@@WhipCityWrencher thx bud

I agree, if you do regular oil changes you shouldn't have any problems. About the only time, the bypass valve may open is in the winter when the temps get cold the oil may thicken.

I think pretty much every canadian vehicle that been parked outside in the frigid cold start its morning with open bypass valve. Oil thicken up at that temperature.

Once your engine is warmed up and you are using the correct viscosity oil for your engine and the oil filters is not clogged. Then the answer to your 1st question is it should be filtering 100%. You need the bypass valve in case your filter gets clogged or the oil is too thick especially when cold, without the bypass valve parts in your engine could starve for much-needed oil. The bypass valve will not open until the pressure going through the filter media is more pressure than it takes to open the bypass valve. Typically in a warm engine even if your oil pressure is above the bypass valve setting, the oil will flow through the filter media easily and the bypass valve will not open. I hope this helps.

@@WhipCityWrencher oh really i have that filter on my diesel tractor that was made in 1980 and its not a problem. What are you going to bypass in a gas engine that runs on a clean highway. Sludge? Metal shavings? It doesnt need the bypass and no you dont get %100 filtration. Look up any filter and they are made to bypass at 12 psi. You could change oil and never put a filter on and never know the difference. We plug chevy V8s and run a non bypass filter and never have a problem. Sometimes 100 psi cold happens and the filter never bursts or comes off.

@@billyjack8119 That's up to you, I'll run oil filters that have bypass valves.

Your oil pressure gauge is measuring oil pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, where as the bypass valve only sees the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the filter itself. In other words, you might have 60 PSI engine oil pressure, but only a few psi drop through clean filter media with warm oil.

Hi Martin, Watch my next two videos, tomorrow 6/17/21, and Tuesday 6/22/21. I think you'll be surprised. Thanks for watching and for your feedback.👍🙏😊

The NAPA PLATINUM holds twice the dirt of the NAPA GOLD. THE GOLD is already a great filter. By you logic no one would use synthetic oil or electricity over coal for that matter. However, it's you engine so do what you want.

@@stanleynowak9325 The next time you change your oil, cut the filter open and look at it. If you're lucky, you might fine a few specs of debris on the paper

I would use either one, I'm leaning towards the Napa Platinum because some of them have a nice upper bypass valve, but some have a bypass valve at the dome end just like the Purolator Boss (depends on your vehicle's filter size). I think the filter media and filtration numbers are similar and your engine wouldn't notice. Also, the Napa Platinums are on sale this month about half the price of the Boss. Currently, I'm using the Purolator Boss, but when I change my oil I'm going back to a Fram Ultra. But your good to go with either one.😊

@@WhipCityWrencher Thank you!

@@WhipCityWrencher could you go over an amsoil oil filter? I just recently switched to that brand of oil with very positive results. but id like your input before trying one of their oil filters.

@@williamjamison2211 The Amsoil oil filters are $ high, and I normally don't like to spend that much on an oil filter, but since I never made a video on one I'll open one up. Give me a filter number and I'll see what I can do. The video won't be shown till sometime next month as I have other requests before you.

@@WhipCityWrencher Thank you! and yes I know they are high! I'll look up the filter number for my suv and get back to you asap! And that's totally fine I understand :)

Yep, and a lot of other stuff has gone up as well. Sad but true. Thanks for your feedback👍

If it's mounted with the base plate down then I would recommend using an oil filter with a silicone anti-drain back valve.

@@WhipCityWrencher for sure. But what about the bypass valve? Looks like some filters mount it on either end.

@@WhipCityWrencher also what's your filter of choice after all the filters you've reviewed? Thx again

@@jeffdeluca1153 You'll find that most oil filters have the bypass valves on the dome end.

@@jeffdeluca1153 I like the Purolator Boss and the Fram Endurance oil filters.

Hi Ben, I open up a used Napa Gold 1348 on May 16th.

There's a recess in the bottom of the endcap that it fits into. It's also under pressure so it won't slide side to side.

@@WhipCityWrencher thank you so much. I had no idea I was going to get an answer to this. have a great day🙂🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@josephpuderer1368 👍

The Coil Spring is held in place by the Coil Spring. It is NOT attached to any part of the oil filter, and is "held in place" by the pressure it applies between the cannister and the filter element. The Coil Spring was found to have DAMAGED the CANNISTERS, and was replaced in later models by the Stamped Steel Retainer. Another reason for dumping the Coil Spring was the environmental concerns -- the Coil Spring takes much more energy to produce.

I went to check Napa's website but it was down. The price did go up though, I just dont know how much.

@@WhipCityWrencher What about Amsoil or Royal Purple filters? I think they are the same? Are they better than Napa Platinum?

@@BW-kv9wj In my opinion the Amsoil and Royal Purple are good oil filters, but not any better than the filters that I mentioned, plus there overpriced. Here's a video I did on a Royal Purple, and I have an Amsoil video coming out on July 30th. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V-TbnHsQ61c.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher

@@WhipCityWrencher I’m looking forward the perfect filter too. I always thought Amsoil was the best but for $30 delivered to my house, no way. Royal Purple is the same for half the price but they are hard to find so you have to pay shipping. I just bought a few Napa Platinums and they gave me a military discount. Great deal.

When was his video made? Post the link to it.

@@WhipCityWrencher OK It was about a year ago.

This is an older video and I doubt they make them this way anymore with the base-end bypass valve. I should have said a Nominal micron rating of 15 which generally means 50% at 15 microns.

The time to get them is when they go on sale and get a few of them. Thanks for your feedback. 👍😊

$29.49 for a Duramax, L O L! That's amsoil fanboi pricing right there, normal people not that stupid.

O Ring, sealing ring, gasket?

@@WhipCityWrencher en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring

@@WhipCityWrencher You'd be correct to call it several things but not o ring. Technically, it's a rectangular cross section face seal but face seal will suffice. Personally, I'd prefer an o ring here but I've only seen one used a couple of times and not recently.

You are correct, sir -- It's NOT an O-Ring, but you can't blame the Whip City Wrencher for calling it what EVERYBODY ELSE calls it. YES, it's a GASKET -- it's round like a ring, but it's NOT round in cross-section, like an O-Ring. The GASKET provides a larger sealing area than an O-Ring of the same outside diameter, and is better suited for operating under heat and pressure than an actual O-Ring of the same size.

@@WhipCityWrencher GASKET. It's a GASKET. 😁

With the consolidation in the industry, the date code is useful to know what version of the filter you might be getting.

@@fairbanksbrian NOPE. Most of the numbers/digits that are stamped on these oil filters are NOT actual "Date Codes", but are internal codes used by manufacturers for their own purposes. REAL DATE CODES are expressed as " mm/dd/yyyy", and are only found on a few oil filters.

Who cares !?? THE SMART PEOPLE CARE, that's who !! Date Codes are used throughout every industry -- because people want to KNOW just when a product was PRODUCED -- for whatever reason they may have. The problem with these so-called "Date Codes" is that MOST of them are NOT actual date codes, but internal codes that the manufacturers use. These so-called "Date Codes" are not date codes at all -- unless they read "mm/dd/yyyy" or , in some cases, "dd/mm/yyyy".
