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.

Purolator has been making filters a long time, over 50 years, I think they have good reputation, cut one open when done, see how it compares to others

Videos on YouTube show them being made and taken apart they will be my next filters!

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 use Wix filters. I've heard they're one of the better ones out there.

I've installed thousands of Purolater filters in the 30 years i've had my own shop, without one bad one. I used their group 7 filters, which is now their Tech line.

With some items, ya can't avoid buying from across the pond, but some you can and have a better product too.

I wonder how the Motorcraft oil filter rates? I have been using them for years on my Fords.

I bought a bunch of US made Frams for from Rock auto cheap so now it runs even better!

Lol, that's good them Toyotas need all the help they can get! Lol, just kidding!!

I am Ok with plastic impregnated paper in a filter. I have used Fram filters such as their 'tough guard' for years. I may change simply because I prefer to "buy American." I recently had a problem with a Bosch filter. It appears the rubber gasket was so hard that the filter vibrated loose (months and many miles after installation) as a result of driving on wash-boarded forest service roads.

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.

Fram makes oil filters in my hometown so it probably depends on the model filter, its build process, and where it is made individually for each type filter.

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!
