So since Mann & Hummel owns Purolator and is now manufacturing filters in china, Mexico, Vietnam, and The USA under the Purolator brand.
Is everyone going to stop buying Purolator?
It is a way for Mann and Hummel to have dominance over the world. Save’s on cost of shipping and helps the supply chain stay open.

You can buy First Brands filters. They are doing the same thing.

I always liked wix filters. Early 90s for me, mechanic once said they were a very good go too filter instead of oem.yhe rest ,cardboard endcaps,foreign made ,quality subpar or less.
Now,mahn and Hummel owns and changed them.the filter media as we all know. What was once Dana corporation USA made,family owned,is now corporate assembly line stuff. Thier rated as 20%@23 microns . Purolators now I believe.filter media. Not many are happy with that. The media tears, the prices,efficiency,ect. The older now purolators rocked.ee see once again,a corporation messing n mucking up what once was good.
Does,would all here still use or want too use wix filters,or moved on too another brand?
I read on wix website,majority of wix will be made in China,Venezuela,tawain,Poland..some other places.the majority being not USA friendly,communist and cheap labor places which I do not support. I've seen USA made wix, ebay...brand new. $14.85 a filter. Crazy. Ide rather pass than support a company on socialist,communist and slave child labor side.how many also would buy the USA made wix made today?

I'm happy to get filters (or anything) from anywhere, so long as the quality it there and the price is right. Although it sounds virtuous to calim you don't support products from socialist, or communist countires, or child labor, the reality it almost everything you already have and buy daily is from one of those countries or labor types. It's impossible to avoid. So I don't care where it comes from so long as the quality is good and price is good.

I used to use MicroGaurd for my A4 because they were made by Mann(in Germany or Poland) and only 6 bucks. Now they are made in Vietnam. Switched back to Mann which is still made in Germany.
