we buy tons of napa filters and wix filters from different vendors. it seems like some part numbers are the same filter and some aren't. I feel like napa rebrands whatever is the cheapest in that part number. so I don't know if the ls filter is a wix or not since we don't have anything in the fleet that uses those numbers.


but on a side note, both are cheap filters that test badly in these days tests. it honestly doesn't matter. it will be a cheap wix rebrand or another cheap filter rebrand of the same ish quality.

the oem filter is better. or any of the other 3 or brands that test better at trapping small particles while still flowing well.

Everything that I have heard was that the Wix filter are one of the best to use...

WIX, all the time, any time. I have used them for years, personally and in shops. Never ever a problem and WIX repeatedly scores high in tests. I had heard that NAPA Gold was WIX. Did not care. Still used WIX.
