Alright folks! I call on the power of you to help me out
BLUF:
NAPA
Has 5 Quarts FULLY Synthetic House Brand Oil and a Napa Silver Oil filter for 19.99. However "*Offer good on many popular NAPA Silver Oil Filters regularly priced at $3.99. Sale price will be higher for some filters. General states pricing. Sale prices on oil do not include applicable state/local taxes or recycling fees. Not available in some states. Check your NAPA store for availability. Offer expires 11/17/13."
So the Silver Filter costs about $4.14 in my area, not that much more than the $3.99 regularly priced ones they note
ADVANCE AUTO
Has 5 Quarts Quaker State FULLY Synthetic and a Drive Works Oil filter for 19.99.
"Limit 2 oil change specials
per customer. While supplies
last. Not applicable to motor
cycle oils. Other exclusions
apply. See store for details."
I assume the exclusion is similar to the NAPA one, the Driveworks filter is about $6.59 regularly priced so I might have to kick in some extra cash
SO HERE IS THE QUESTION:
Are the filters (Napa Silver and Driveworks) suitable for 5000 miles? Being a Mechanical Engineer in the Automotive World in the past and Currently in a Mechanical Engineer for the Military (also the Vehicle focused) I know that there are only so many Oil Filter Manufacturers (Mann + Hummel, Rank Group (they bought the FRAM filter business from Honeywell), Wix (Affinia) and probably some others. The quality may be greater or lesser here and there but which will do the best job? Are they suitable for 5000 miles? I plan on buying 10 Quarts which will come with the two filters, seeing that I drive about 12,000 miles a year this should suffice for 12 months of driving.
AS ALWAYS THANK YOU!
