The NAPA Gold filters are very good filters, I've run them in the past on my cars actually. FWIW, they are identical to Wix, Kralinator and Carquest premium.

Hmm, I have been using the Bosch filters lately since it was priced between the mobil 1 and everything else. Anyone know the quality of these filters?

I wasn't aware they stopped making the PF59. I got an oil change coming soon and I'll get to the bottom of this.

I'd say out of all of the ones on the list the K&N is the best because it has a very strong anti drain valve. But how come i dont see Wix filter in the poll?
