Kanling..I personally have done two training seminars in Thailand. And ones in Malaysia, and China, and Philippines and Viet Nam..
Those who can afford Mercedes, pay what the dealer charges them.
Those that do their own maintenance is a whole different story. Someday have a look at Indonesian filters or filters from India and compare the quality. There are also local manufacturers who "remanufacture" elements. They save some components and rebuild the filter.
There's a whole different world out there than worrying about Purolator, Wix, Champ, etc..
btw..did you see the country of origin on the toyota filter in Thailand?
