A NAPA dealer get it's pricing guidelines from NAPA.
They are:
1. dealer cost
2. whole sale (for mechanic shops)
3. average resale (what most walk in customers pay)
4. resale (what NAPA says they should sell for to the walk in customer)

NAPA gold series filters are WIX
NAPA Oil is Valvoline
Most internal and some ignition parts for Kohler engines are actually Kohler parts.
My youngest son ordered a tranny rebuild kit for a Chrysler 904A auto from NAPA today under my account.....83 dollars. They sell that kit at retail for 129 and average resale at 97.
