Changed the air filter on my 2018 Ford Edge today at ~14K miles. Replaced the original FoMoCo unit with an Ultra Power WA10048 purchased from Rock Auto. It is made in China and cost a bit over $4 with shipping bundled with a few other items. A filter from Ford would cost at least $10 more. I could not tell the difference between the two except for the two glue strips on the intake surface. Sealing gasket material, filter and size were exactly the same. I'd rather buy parts made in the US but I'm not stupid with my money either.
How do they do it?
