| | Both filters have a top bypass. \\ |
| | This means that if the filter does bypass, oil runs across the top of the filter. \\ |
| | Unlike the old filters which had a bottom bypass (many still do). \\ |
| | A filter with a bottom bypass will wash the crap out of the media right in to the engine. \\ |
| | Both have synthetic media. \\ |
| | The HD filter uses a leaf spring to keep tension on the internals and keep them in place. \\ |
| | The Napa filter uses a coil spring. \\ |
