The vast majority of Scott toilet paper is manufactured in the United States of America from domestic and imported materials, a minor part of the production is in Canada and Mexico

The packaging I'm buying states US made, and the paper is the same as it's been for the past 14 years since I've been using it for oil filter media. I'll go with, it's sufficient for my purposes. There's not much high tech in toilet paper. They have never thought that synthetic was a good choice.

It's so low tech, that manufacturing in off shore countries would be of little savings for the bottom line. I do know it's a much better media to filter oil, and I can buy an oil filter element at most any dollar store............

I can use other brands other than Scott, and the results are the same.

It was posted with a smile. And I suspect because some rolls have shrunk more than 20 percent in size and they are selling less product it would still be suitable for your needs.

Steve, It was answered with a wink Emoji...., so I was also, J/K.

Also the part about synthetic TP, not very absorbant for it's main purpose it was created for...........

1000 sheets, is still 1000 sheets. As long as the canister is packed tightly, the product works as intended.

For anyone that is unfamiliar with how a Frantz filter works, the oil enters through the center, goes into the hollow dome, and is forced through 4 inches of cellulose paper from end to end. There is no full flow filter that uses that much media. There also is no bypass valve, so each drop that is pumped in, gets 4 inches of media filtering. even if somehow there was a 20% media reduction, the Frantz is head, and shoulders above anything WIX, or NAPA is selling, or has sold previously. I've been using them for 14 years, they do everything promised by the manufacturer.

At the bottom of the roll/exit port, there is a fine screen that fully entraps all of the element. The BS story about paper making it's way into the engine, causing oil restrictions/blockages could never happen, totally made up by someone that never held a canister unit in their hands.

Frantz has been around since the 50s, so they're roughly 75 years old. The concept still works better than anything you can buy in a parts store.

Mann/Hummel also purchased Purolator, and I notice the same problems as far as availability, and merging filters lines that were available before the H/M acquisition. The prices have also increased much further than the rate of documented inflation rates. I see M/H as a corporate pirate that acquires a company, squeezes the last nickel of a formerly reputable company, as well as ruining their good reputation.

I'll be doing oil analysis on 2 new engines shortly.

So I'm going to use a wix on one and a Baldwin in the other and take note how they do for how long.

I've done this in the past to establish a good filter and oil combination with safe change intervals and found wix doing a nice job up to 6000 miles before it was recommended a service will be needed. I'm curious to see if that has changed at all and how the Baldwin compares to that.

It'll take several months to accumulate the mileage but should lay worries to rest, or maybe create new ones lol. I'll make a thread when the time comes and post results either way.
