Tymar vs. Kwikfilter

Is there any difference,Tymar has a Donaldson filter & kwik uses Napa 6637.I was told Donaldson is water repellent & Napa is paper filter.Anyone have trouble with Napa sucking water into turbo.

I use the 46637 off of fleetfilter.com. Never sucked any moisture in it. Lasted a year for me and was still in good shape. I dont do many dirt roads. Its only $20.00 also.

when i bought my 6637 to build my own tymar knockoff (see my gallery) it was a donaldson filter. wix makes most of napa filters but they also get reboxed stuff from others. my filter had the same little sticker that if i remember right "duralite" which is donaldson patented water repellant paper media. so chances are they are the same!

They're all the same. No problems with sucking water.

The link that stroking provided is a good homemade method for a pre-filter.

If you want the acutal Outerwears prefilter, here's a link, but notice how much more expensive it is:
