The NAPA Gold cartridge filter is a 7211............it is better made with ridged plastic end caps that surround the filter media and forms a better seal to the engine (unlike the OEM that has glued on treated paper end caps), has more filter media area and a smaller micron pore size as well. If you go online to www.Fleetfilter.com, you can also get them at a great price as well (Fleetfilter adds a “5” to the number so it becomes 57211)……………..
