I've heard there are significant differences in major brands of oil filters. This video shows why some are better than others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imq39p0_YTA

Thanks for posting this video. Back in my NAPA parts store days I've sold 1000's of NAPA WIX filters.

This video exposes the crap out there...that in many cases due to cheap filter put in service fails causing major engine or equipment failure.

For what it's worth....I will only use Detroit Diesel oil, water and fuel filters. On a Racor mount, I will only use Racor. Takes out all the liability..

I know from past experience if you try to put a Napa filter in that Raycor that is identified as more plugged up the higher the fuel level in the site Bowl Get, the Napa filter will give you a false reading it'll fill that bowl up immediately with a brand new filter like you shouldn't see until after it begins to plug up over time.
