Default WTF Napa?

NAPA Light Truck Fuel Filters - Global Fleet Filtration

Gone is the 3910 filter. I will not replace my fuel filter with this plastic housing b.s. they've got now... This looks like something they'd sell at Wal Mart. What gives???

Can you recommend me a better filter at a good price?

Thanks for the info dudes.
I'm just skeptical... But as long as the filtration meets OEM spec, it should be okay.

i work at NAPA and the PROSELECT are still metal. The gold are the ones that went to plastic, its not the only filter that went that route some of the heavy duty filters went that way too. Im not 100% sure y but some plastics are actually stronger than metal. I can try to find out more reasoning monday when WIX is open again.
