So now the Fram HP filters are Chinese? Geez....

..Another point about "Brand" names. Bought and payed premium price for a "Raybestos" Brand front wheel drive bearing and hub assy. When it came, it had was identical to the cheap house brand part, down to the numbers stamped on the part and the paper work in the box. ..
your paying premium for the warranty, thats it. Look at almost any starter or alternator. same part, different warranty. Rusty will probably vouch for me on that.
