Was getting some chicken feed today so I checked out the auto parts section it seems the Purolator filters are still US made, some like Mobil 1 never did say where they were made.

I use Wix filters. I've heard they're one of the better ones out there.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

I wouldnt worry as much where the filter was made. Your American dodge with its Japanese Mitsubishi motor will run same if you put a US, China or Hong Kongorea made filter on it I bought a bunch of US made Frams for from Rock auto cheap so now it runs even better!

As others have said go to YouTube and type in oil filter comparison you will find out that not all oil filters are top of the line and better yet if you have the time look at motor oil comparisons too you might be surprised at what you learn.

Your American dodge with its Japanese Mitsubishi motor will run same if you put a US, China or Hong Kongorea made filter on it Just looked at the master rebuild kit parts kit (Just under $500) all parts made in the USA most major parts from the Melling Co parts and a Victor gasket set! Though about the rest of the parts I put on it like brakes, shocks, and so on mostly US stuff I'd guess about 95% American products on the restores. Not that the stuff from Japan was not quality stuff just rather use the US parts when I can. That G54B motor was used in millions of vehicles trucks, cars and mini-vans!
