Older style for N52 was made by Fram in the USA (red media). There were a few of this style posted on this site where the caps separated from the media.
Newer style for BMW N52 is made in South Korea by firm contracted by Fram with media supplied by Fram (white media).

Any backing material at all or just the media with an open center with support on the engine side?
Is it really a Fram or is it a "Fram" made by Mann, Mahle, Bosch, or Hengst?
