 Hello All Tractor Engine Enthusiasts:
The Wix 51516 that I buy from Moss Motors is made in Mexico.  The Napa Gold 1516 supposedly made by Wix is also make in Mexico.  I used to be in the oil filter business.  The country of origin has to be on the product.  
Oil filters are made in many countries.  My son-in-law bought an oil filter for his Porsche Cayenne from Autozone that was make in South Korea.  They should be made my Mann or Malhe, etc.  I bought a 5/16 in universal fuel filter once made in Russia of all places.  I used to sell fuel filters made in Israel.  Check the country of origin when buying all automotive products and then make your determination as to if you want to buy them or not.
Good Luck.

 Ok Dudes and Dudetts - first, Happy New Year!

Take a look at the quick search of prices on the Wix 51515R filters $10.79 to $19.97
I was talking with someone about this and who knows where the story came from, or accuracy, but the net net was they are allegedly now made in China and when cut away, no longer the same quality as in the past.

Fact or Fiction?? anybody know? and what are you using?
