Hey guys....
Are Napa Auto Parts fuel filters comparable in quality to the OEM Mopar filters? I'm about due for a fuel filter change and noticed the Napa filters are about $7 cheaper than the Mopar filters (not to mention the Napa dealer is closer).

Thanks, Jim

NAPA gold should be; cannot comment on the cheaper ones. I'm reasonably sure the Golds are made by WIX if for no other reason than the PN is virtually identical. I've used both the Gold and WIX for years diesel and gassers with no issues.

Great....thanks. The Napa filter is actually about $12 cheaper. Napa quoted me $33 and the dealership wanted $45.
