Anyone using NAPA GOLD oil filters and
are you haveing any problems with them. I used one on the last oil change and developed an oil leak. Almost leaked about a 1/2 quart in 10k miles. Looking at the shield you would think it leaked the entire crakcase out. Any way it looked like it leaked out the top of the oil filter housing. Never did this til I used a NAPA GOLD filter. The filter cap was tight. My first thought was a bad o-ring or I forgot to put it in. But it was there and not damaged. I still had the old o-ring so I compared them and they appear to be the same thickness. I put another NAPA GOLD in it today and it appears to be leaking out the top again. I'm thinking of getting a filter from the dealership to see if it stops leaking. But was wondering if anyone here is using the NAPA GOLD filters and if you are having any problems with them.
If not is there a known problem with the oil filter housings?
