Gold 1348 Oil Filter Pack of 1

Seems to be well made.

I have done my own oil changes for 40+ years. I also used to have a part-time job doing oil changes for fleets of trucks. I have investigated oil filters test from multiple sources over the years, in car magazines, and now on-line. I every test, Wix filters (NAPA Gold are Wix filters, confirmed by every test I have seen) come out near the top, generally an 'A-' score. In some tests, Brand X came out on top, while in another test, Brand X was middle of the pack, while Brand Y was on top. But as I said, Wix ALWAYS tests very near the top. And they are always at a fair price (some other filters are as much as $20, compared to around $7 for the Wix. So, I quit worrying and now just buy Wix/NAPA Gold filters. They are also the same brand we used in fleet maintenance many years ago, and many are still made in the USA (though some of them are now imported). BTW, the Wix equivalent of this particular is a 51348.

I use this filter on my F150HP Yamaha 4stroke 2004 outboard as a replacement to OEM $30 filter. My boat is used exclusively in salt water and is out on the water at least weekly. I run OE oil with this filter and the engine has almost 900-hours showing on the meter. The engine sees shallow water use as well as long runs offshore. I change the oil at least once a year or as required by usage. The filter is good quality and does include an anti-drain feature allowing the filter to be removed without making a mess (the filter is mounted on the engine with the opening facing downward). The filter is about the same price as it is from the NAPA store but buying through Amazon saves me a trip and I also by the Yamaha oil at the same time. The NAPA filter and Yamaha oil usually arive within a day or two and I've never had an issue with the packaging.

Use in my 2015 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. Read that it is one of top rated oil filter. I believe it to be true, that’s why I use it. 👍

Fits

I bought two of these NAPA Gold oil filters for my 08 Tacoma, as I have done in the past. During my oil change, the filter I removed was purchased through Amazon and was made in the USA. The filter pictured below was made in China. I removed it from the box, took off the plastic wrap protector and screwed it to my engine. It fit perfectly. Then I began to think. I have no idea what is inside this filter. So I took my wife's car, went to another auto parts store and bought a different name- brand oil filter which was made in the USA and came home. I removed the brand new, never utilized NAPA oil filter and tossed it into the trash. I screwed on the other name brand, made-in-the-USA oil filter and finished my oil change. I don't know what is going on with NAPA, but they dropped the ball on this one. I didn't run my engine with the Chinese alternative. WAY too risky. I gave this product one star because I felt like I got screwed by a name brand I used to trust. I will now thoroughly investigate everything I buy through Amazon.

Perfect match for my Tacoma and delivered immediately.

Its a good filter, a little pricey I should have price them locally first. Other than that the only bad thing I can say is to make sure that the O-ring gasket comes off with the filter. Untill recently I have never experanced this problem with a Wix filter
