Are the NAPA prices any lower than the dealer prices?

I don't know what the dealer price is. The Napa price is $6.99.

But my main concern is quality, not price. This is an expensive machine
and I want to take care of it.

I'm running Mobil1 synthetic oil in this engine and I want a top-quality
oil filter. I want this engine to last a long time. I replaced the
OEM filter with a Napa Gold 1394 when I drained the oil after the first
8 hours of use. I would prefer to use Purolator PureONE; that's why I'm
asking the question.



Mobil 1 filters are better than PureONE filters.



That is a matter of opinion.

I use the Napa gold filter on my Toro 37" commercial walk behind with no
issues at all. Let me tell ya, this machine runs 20 to 35 hours a week and
is used very hard. 5 years old and she still starts with out a problem and
no major work has been needed (knocks on wood!!). If your changing out the
oil and filter every 100 hours then theres no need to worry about it. My
Toro dealer said that the oil needs to be dumped at 150 hours, but it's
ten bucks to change it myself and it seems to be money well spent so far.
I would assume that oil filters are like other products, their all about
the same in quality and your spending the cash on a brand name.
