FrançaisEnglishYour engine relies on clean oil to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance. But oil can’t do the job alone. Its high-performance filter is crucial for trapping the dirt and grime that builds up during regular use. That’s where the NAPA Gold Oil Filter comes in handy.
Knowing what’s in your oil filter can help you make better maintenance decisions and prolong your engine’s life, whether you’re a weekend mechanic or just want to better understand your car.
The filtration process helps illustrate why quality is so important.
A clogged media automatically triggers the bypass valve, maintaining oil circulation and preventing engine starvation.
Each time you turn the ignition, the engine starts, creating heat, pressure, and friction. The engine’s moving parts are lubricated, kept cool, and cleaned of debris (everything from carbon soot to microscopic metal shavings) by the circulating motor oil.
Without an oil filter, all those impurities would flow freely through your engine, scarring internal surfaces and gradually wearing things down. The result? Reduced performance, more maintenance issues, and even potential engine failure.
The oil filter is critical for this reason. Acting as the engine’s first line of defence, it keeps the oil clean, ensuring the vehicle’s health.
Most oil filters look alike at first glance. The main difference, though, is the filter media—the debris-trapping material inside—and the filter’s construction, designed to withstand pressure, temperature changes, and long-term wear and tear.
The popularity of NAPA Gold Oil Filters among drivers and DIYers is clear, so let’s delve into the why.
The durability of a filter’s body helps the filter survive demanding situations like cold starts and high-performance driving, where pressure surges. NAPA Gold filters have canisters built to resist oil pressure exceeding five times normal operating levels.
To prevent engine oil starvation caused by thick oil (like on a cold morning) or a clogged filter, a pressure relief valve keeps the oil flowing. No oil? No lubrication. No lubrication? Serious problems. This valve maintains flow, even in less-than-perfect circumstances.
Because of its one-piece, spiral-wound, corrugated construction, this tube gives the filter outstanding collapse resistance. Unlike standard perforated or straight tubes, this offers superior structural integrity and enhanced flow support under pressure.
The filter media is the heart of the NAPA Gold filter:
That means you’re getting better protection and longer life out of your filter — especially when it’s paired with fully synthetic oil.
With its synthetic media, the NAPA Gold filter offers up to 16,000 km of protection when used with high-quality synthetic oil. This is perfect for drivers who wish to increase the time between oil changes while maintaining peak performance.
“Dry starts” happen as the engine oil drains from the filters while the engine is not running. But the NAPA Gold filter’s silicone valve keeps oil in the engine, which means oil circulates right away when you start the car, which is when engines wear down the most.
A small detail with a big impact. A secure, leak-proof connection is guaranteed by the durable threads and heavy-duty plate, reducing the chance of installation problems or gasket failure.
NAPA Gold filters use a high-grade silicone gasket, preventing the hardening and cracking common in standard rubber gaskets. This means you get a durable seal that’s simple to remove, even after thousands of kilometres of extreme use.
When you change your oil, change your filter, even if the oil you’re replacing doesn’t look too dirty. Changing both at the same time is easier to remember and carry out than changing each one when you think they’ve reached the end of their life.
General guidelines are to replace your oil—and therefore your oil filter—about every 5,000 km. However, if your oil appears particularly dirty when you check it, change both at that time.
Your car’s engine relies heavily on the often-overlooked oil filter for its well-being. Opting for a premium filter such as the NAPA Gold Oil Filter offers better filtration efficiency, built-to-last materials, and peace of mind every time you drive.
No matter your experience level – from first-time oil changer to seasoned mechanic – you can be confident of total engine protection for the long haul with NAPA Gold.
