Default oil filters

I know that this topic has been explored on many occasions Ijust have one question. Are OEM Mopar filters as good in quality as Napa Gold?

Id say they are if you are having warranty work done and the stealer see's the mopar screwed on tight. I personally use the napa gold since my warranty is all used up[:@]. I cant stand going back to the dealer for anything.

And if I am correct the Napa gold are rebranded Wix filters. I just ask because I purchased my napa gold today and then while shopping at good old walmart I saw they have oem filters and they are a few bucks less. I will pay for quality jsut curious which one has better quality.

I was shocked as well. They also seem to hae the best price on the rotella oil. over 4.00 cheaper for a gallon then Napa.

Id rather give the little guy at the parts store a few more dollars than give it to those SLEEZY basT^%$# at wally mart. If the public only knew how many American vendors and manufactures they have put out of business. Most of the farmers I deal with would rather plow it under than sell to them because they have to wait 60 to 90 days on the check if they even get it at all. Sorry guys just had to vent for a minute

My next change will be with amsoil, I just had to get this done soon as it is that time and lack of retail makes it hard.
