Continental Brand Filters?

[BBDartCA]

Recently noticed that Continental has an oil filter product line in the US. News to me. I assume these are private label products. Anybody know who makes them and the quality of such. Ordered one off Amazon open-box just for the heck of it.

That’s interesting. UFI is OEM supplier to many in Europe. No Official US distribution For passenger vehicle filters, I believe - that’s now changed with Conti. Their motorcycle filters can be found in the US. Last two cars I had with factory-fit UFI, the filters were made in Tunesia.
