Have any of you guys had any better luck with Case brand (OEM) filters (diesel, oil, hydraulic, etc.) than with a NAPA or other aftermarket brand? I am curious to know if anyone has actually observed one type being of better quality that the other or of marked differences between the original part and an aftermarket version.

Case doesn�t make filters or very much else for that matter. They buy components and assemble or repackage them as OEM. Fleetguard makes most of Case�s filters and they do make a very good quality filter as does Donaldson and Baldwin. Now for a quick quiz. Who makes Napa�s filters? And, are they the same quality as you would expect to get when purchased under the manufacture's label?

Marc, Napa filters are made by wix that is why when you look close they have the same ending numbers, napa uses the last 4 numbers from wix

Right! Now what about the second part of the question, is the quality the same as a Wix labeled filter?

The napa filter is the same as the wix only different paint on the out side. The sales rep for napa is a wix person.I worked for napa and we once used the wix reps. tool for cutting open filters( looks like a fancy pipe cutter) Most filters are good on the inside except the cheapy lines. I hate to say it but I would never put a pennzoil filter on. We had customers bring in a old filter they didnt need and we gave them a new one of there choice, then had them watch as we cut the old one open. We found out that some of the early spin on filters were actually casinter filters put inside of the metal filter( that was the hasting line)Dont know if anybody else did that?? If you want to see whats in your filter just cut around the base about 1/8th above the base and the whole shell will come off.I cant speak for the other companys but napa is a true wix filter, Bill

What is the difference between the standard Napa and the Napa Gold filters?

The napa gold is the new filter line. (The only diffence is the new paint and new fancy box. The silver line is there cheap line in filters. If you cut one of the silver line filters open you will still find a good filter. just as not as much paper as the gold filter. In the future it will be napa gold and then there silver line.Carquest filters were made by wix at one time too but dont know if it was the same as ther top line filter. Most filter companys only make about 15 to 20 filters in the cheaper line( the filters that fit the most popular cars and trucks)I have never seen a cheap fleetgaurd filter cut open. only there better line which is what they sell to case ands its a good filter. Dont try to save a dallor when it comes to the tractor filters. Theres a old saying ( pay me now or pay me later) very true when it comes to that, Bill

Usually the differences are seen in the higher end oil and hydraulic filters, with aftermarket companies using less expensive (and as Case says, less effective) filtration media. Some good Case dealers have displays with cutaway filters that show the differences.
