TL;DR NAPA cites ISO 4548-12 for a 99% efficiency claim at 21-23 microns, though it's self-reported with no independent lab confirmation. Cut-open reports, including one against genuine OE filters from the same 15400-PLM-A02 family, show solid metal-endcap construction and a working silicone anti-drain-back valve.
Spin-on filter with NAPA's glass-enhanced cellulose (T-03) media on a 20 x 1.50 mm thread. Owner cut-opens describe metal endcaps, a rectangular gasket, and a working ADBV, with no dry-start or bypass failures found. The 8-11 lb bypass setting and 363 psi burst rating are manufacturer-disclosed and independently corroborated. This platform spans an older convex-baseplate generation and a newer flat-baseplate generation within the 15400-PLM-A01/A02 OE family; this listing is the older, convex-baseplate design.
Right pick for a standard OE-recommended oil change where glass-enhanced media and cut-open-confirmed construction fit the budget-to-mid tier. Skip it if your engine's filter boss uses the newer flat-baseplate design within the 15400-PLM-A01/A02 family; that generation is the correct choice there, not this convex-baseplate filter.
No chemical exposure pathway; this is a passive accessory with no SDS, and no Proposition 65 warning is posted on this listing. Spent filters hold residual motor oil, a hazardous waste; drained filters are accepted at most parts-store recycling programs, and the steel canister recycles as ferrous scrap.

NAPA's own laboratory bulletin names ISO 4548-12, the international multi-pass test standard for full-flow lube oil filters, reporting 99% capture at 21-23 microns across this filter and two platform siblings. No independent third-party lab has published a result confirming this figure, so treat it as a manufacturer-reported result using a real named standard rather than independently verified data.
Yes. Independent owner cut-open reports, including one that compared this filter's construction directly against genuine OE filters from the same part-number family, describe a silicone anti-drain-back valve, metal endcaps, and a rectangular-cross-section gasket, with no reported dry-start or drain-back failures.
NAPA discloses an 8-11 lb bypass relief valve setting and a 363 psi burst pressure, cross-corroborated by an independent retailer specification page.
Confirm before ordering. This filter's OE cross-reference spans the 15400-PLM-A01/A02 and 15400-PLC-003/004 part-number family, which covers both an older convex-baseplate filter-boss design and a newer flat-baseplate design with an integrated hex nut. This listing is the older convex-baseplate filter; using it on a newer flat-baseplate boss risks bottoming the threads before the gasket fully compresses. The manufacturer's own catalog supersedes this exact part number to a flat-baseplate equivalent for that newer boss design.
NAPA's own glass-enhanced cellulose media, marketed as T-03 media, rated at 21-23 microns. It is a step above plain cellulose media but is not a full-synthetic media.
