Here's an ECOGARD X4476 virgin filter cut opened. The stamped date on the end of the can is 05/16/21 and a sticker label marked Made in China. Ecogard was originally owned by IPC Global Solutions and the brand was acquired by Premium Guard Inc (PGI) on 12/30/2021. This filter was purchased from RockAuto closeout priced at $1.28 that shipped out of a surplus auto parts warehouse in Sugar Land TX. The box is similar to the Ecogard X4610 filter I have but this filter has a label on the blue painted can and does not say "leak tested". I plan to use these filters in a 2007 1.5L Prius and a 1996 1.8L Corolla, both around 200K miles.
