This filter was off a firends 2018 ford escape with the 1.5l Ecoboost. The filter was left on for 2 oil changes totaling 11,000 miles.
A Wix oil filter went back on.

These filters always pass the eye test when cut open, the pleats are straight and evenly spaced. I think I might buy some of these.
 
Pretty sure that Microgard is made in Vietnam.
I looked at other MSL part numbers and some of them said Made in Vietnam on the box. The MSL51348 didn't list any country on box or filter. Beginning to think maybe China.
Asking on this thread because the one cut open was a MSL51348, so trying to find out where that specific cut open one was made.
So far all I am getting is the usual speculation.

The manufacturer of that filter has x2 sources of manufacturing any one filter at any given time but from a quick Bing search it yielded "Made in Vietnam" on the lower left side of the box.
