I am not sure that is entirely true. Unless something has changed recently, Premium Guard is the 3rd choice product provider for NAPA in their Gold and Platinum series filters. For the Gold filters, Mann/Hummel/WIX is first choice, Champion Brands, is second, and Premium Guard is third. The NAPA "Performer" filters are made by Champion Brands and a few by Premium Guard as well. The thing I DON'T like is you can't tell from the box, what is inside. Same part numbers, many different countries, it's confusing, on purpose. I have NAPA Gold Filters on the shelf from, USA, Vietnam, Germany, China, Brazil, Mexico. I will say, I have not had a problem or issue with any of them.
