Mobil 1 filter manufacturer?

[Turbo]

Just purchased these 3 filter from Walmart. Are all of these manufactured by Highline Warren? I would think all the old stock would be gone but the but the 212 baseplate is different.

the one on the left looks to be a purolator build from the baseplate but the paint and plastic make me think otherwise.

Can you show the date codes on the ends? That’s usually how you determine manufacturers for sure, although the one on the left sure looks like Purolator (?)

They all look to be the new version. M+H never used holes in the center tube or covered the end with cellophane.

What it say where each one was made? Any text identifying Highline Warren on the filters?

Just because the one on the left (I can see it was make in S. Korea) has oval base plate holes doesn't automatically mean it was made by Purolator/Mann+Hummel. I doubt Mobil has any ties at all to Mann+Hummel after they contracted Highline Warren to take over supplying filters for them. And Highline Warren is shown as the company to take care of warranty claims for Mobil now (on Mobil's filter website), not Mann+Hummel like it showed before switch to Highline Warren.

Just look closely on the label and you will see "Made In .. "

Those are all plastic covered on the bottom so they should be Asian built and I will bet the one on the left is Korea because that is the baseplate I have seen them with : Mobil 1 Korea ... And the two on the right are probably Vietnam like this one: Mobil 1 Vietnam

Yes, left filter with oval holes says "Made in South Korea".
