I came across a 27356 filter brand new and it was labeled Affinia and below said Made in China. Is this a new thing? Sorry, didn't get a pic of it
NAPA Proselects made in China

Probably the same thing Fram does, is outsourcing low volume parts since they don't sell enough of them to warrant producing them.
Oh I see.. they have plants in other countries.
Yep many are made in china. Mann + Hummel owns Wix and Purolator now. So fewer makers so will start to see more filter with different names but made in the same plant.
M+H was 50% with Bosch in purolator, hence why you saw a lot of Purolator filters in black with Bosch name on them. But they bought out Bosch's 50% share.

Always go NAPA Gold, can't really go wrong with them.
Did you notice the date code on it?
No, I couldn't get it lol
My mom's Vue had a China made Pro Select 27082 and it seems to be a quality filter, the Ecotec engine seems to have sizing issues with some "correct" filters. This one did not, and I will be getting the Supertech (re-packaged Pro Select from what it looks like) oil filter for her car from now on.

For that Ecotec, I'd use the OE Hengst E630H/AC Delco PF457G/458G, Purflux L264A, or Mann HU 6007x
FWIW, even the regular Wix 57082/Napa Gold 7082 is Chinese now. However, the Platinum/XP 47082/57082XP is still from Poland.
