Everyone is always complaining about oil filter prices, so here you go. NAPA is having their filter sale right now until the 25th of April. 40% off of the Gold line only. The 7.3 filter is normally around $35.00. I just ordered 4 for $14.00 and some change. Go get um!

I’ve heard many times that NAPA Gold is same as & made by WIX. Just sharing the rumor, don’t know if it’s true.

I’m pretty sure that Wix is now owned by MANN&HUMMEL.

I believe that's correct. There was a Wix factory near me and they changed name to MANN&HUMMEL.

That Gastonia plant is the one I was referring to actually in last post. It's about 30 mins away from me. Cool they do the 7.3 filters there. I should go get some hot off the press. 😂

Here’s a screen shot of the first result shown when I did a Google search. Pretty good savings in my book. Might not be everyone’s go to, I’ve never had any issues, but I do change my oil every 5000 miles.

I just called my local Merle's who was bought out by NAPA and he said they can go $23.99, normally $34.99 so it seems the sale is not for everyone.

40% off $35 is $21. So that’s close.
Oldmechanic57 got 60% off at $14 each.
