PulMax- I can't believe you know about Oscar!
It makes a great login name, especially since only people from the Churubusco area seem know about it anymore.
Of course....whether he was real or not; or if he was as big as they say....that's another story!

If you want a filter where there's no question as to where it came from, buy Purolator. Printed on each and every can is MADE IN THE USA. I got tired of playing the AC DELCO game and went to Purolator instead. Awesome filters at great prices.

But some GM products get startup noise from them!

That is what I thought. The L 14536 I just took out of my Ecotech said made in Thailand. It came off the same shelve as the one I put in that said made in USA. I caught them on sale for $3 and grabbed 4 of them.
Note, the L 10193 has about 2/3 the media as a PF 1177.
Labman, what did the can say?
Dave1251, I got tired of finding the "good" AC Filters, so I moved on.

The L 15436 ain't got no can. It was printed on the plastic end cap of the cartridge element.
I checked the last 2 in my stash. Looks like the
''Made in USA'' on the bottom of the box was marked out and the filter inside had the made in Thailand/2 printed on the end cap. So it looks like 1 of the 4 I bought were made in the USA.
None of the other brands I have seen were ever made in USA except maybe the WIX.
I picked up an STP 3950 today, free after rebate at AZ. It and the ST 3950 I have stashed, are both marked Product of USA on the can. Neither are Ecore, but have dome end clickers.
and one I bought (for a Nissan) was made in Thailand and it had the single worst ADBV I've ever used.
I've bought two Wix made in Indonesia and a lot of the Donaldson's I've used are made there as well. Of the two most recent OEM Nissan filters I've bought, one was made in Thailand and the other Japan sporting the same pt #.
I just bought a Purolator L30001 (made in the US) that I am using for an experiment that is the lightest constructed FL1A/AFL1 equivalent I have ever felt. I actually weighed it on a gram scale against a Donaldson P169071 (equivalent to a PL30001) and a Land Rover ERR3340 (basically a short version of an FL1A) and it was miles lighter than both. Wish now I'd written the numbers down. It was also the cheapest ($ wise) filter I've ever bought here in Oz.
Anyway, all the manufacturers stick to their core line (whatever that may be) and outsource their fringe lines. I think it's always been this way, just that we are all becoming more aware of it.
Yeah, I was even carrying home orange boxes as long as they had Purflux filters in them.
Every Purolator I've bought and used has had MADE IN THE USA on the can. Currently I'm using the L14670.
