You'll probably get a bunch of answers here. I use Valvoline VR1 & always a Wix 1st line filter. Napa 1st line used to fit in that group but unless it say made in the US, it's not a wix in the NAPA box....Joe

I went to Napa store yesterday and looked at the filters...we always use the longer truck style filter...Napa gold/black filter...made in china. They had a Wix version, but the box said 'not intended for street use'...racing only. It was made in the USA.

I have a few older Napa filters buried in the garage somehere...i'll have to see what they are.

What Wix filter is best for the hi-perf big blocks...again, i like to use the long filter.

thanks,wilma
