Their filtering efficiency is worse than the gold level filter. From BobTheOilGuy:
WIX makes NAPA filters. The Platinum is a full synthetic media, the Gold is not. The NAPA Gold is the same as the basic WIX filter, and the NAPA Platinum is the same as the WIX XP.
As discussed many times now, the XP/Platinum full synthetic filter has a pretty bad filtering efficiency ... only 50% @ 20 microns, while the WIX/NAPA Gold is much better at 95% @ 20 microns..
These are for full-synthetic oil. If you use regular or semi you'll want to use the Gold. This type of filter is made for for longer-term sludge and higher temperatures while the Gold is more for dirt capture. Its not that one is better than in the other in terms of product, but, rather the type of driving conditions most common to you and oil you have in your engine.
