"well it looks like you succeeding so where gonna get rid of some counter guys and delivery people." all because he walked in on a holiday and saw a couple of them standing around. Now, both Castrol filters (white & black) are using the Silver line casing (smaller) and I'd guess that the only difference between them is the filter media. The external casing for the Honda filters are different from each other. thats not even enough to keep the utilites going and pay one stores staff nevermind all 5 stores The NAPA Gold is the better filter and their Silver line is a step down. then they took out the paint mixing booth and the machine shop.īefore this all started to happen i was bringing in easily a $500,000 a month split between my sales and counter staff.

Yes, the findings in my case yield an alarming failure rate, hence I no longer use them and recommend against them. None of the vehicles suffered any noticeable issues and the issue certainly would have gone undetected if the filters had not been disassembled.
