We all know they have the weakest construction of any filter out there. Does WIX have country of origin on the filter itself or box?
On the bottom of the box, Mike. I discovered this when I purchased the last Wix oil filter for my Forester. If it was Taiwan I wouldn’t object due to the fact that most products manufactured in Taiwan are as good or a little better than items manufactured here in the U.S. The ONLY Fram oil filter I would buy ever use would be their racing oil filters, unless they have gone to crap as well.
