I found some really old threads on here, saying pentius is "really good for a korean filter" while the box i have says " made in p.r.c". There is a big thread about mahle changing m.f.g. to china. I am leaning toward the mahle because it has micro-star tech.

It is really bothering me and keeping me from switching it out, that idk which filter is superior. I just installed a new fuel pump and figure i should change the filter early with it.

Plesse give your facts opinions actualities. The application is a
V6 07 mustang .

I’ve used a Chinese Pentius on a Subaru without issue. The sock filter on the pump takes most of the abuse, while the filter media in the in-line filter takes much less abuse - it’s there to catch rust and carbon fines from the brushes. If you’re installing a new pump, a new sock filter is required to validate warranty - check the tank for any rust or bad gas/water contamination.

I say it’s fine - my choice would have been Motorcraft, made in USA.
