I thought Fleet Guard

So, I thought Fleet Guard Filters where made in the USA. I reciently ordered a few new oil filters and they say "Made In India".
Correct me If im wrong, but is something going on here??

The 2 I bought about a month ago are USA made. Not sure if they would say that today.

Ford owns Fleetguard and Cummings!!

No seriously, I have switched to Baldwin for three reasons:

Made in USA
High quality
Red filters look cool on a Cummins!

I've been using NAPA Wix gold for about a year and a half. They seem pretty good.

It was pretty cool a couple days a go and I saw 85 psi oil pressure in the morning for a while. The filter is still attached.

anybody use the Mopar oil filters? i didn't realize until just a few months ago that they sell them at wall-mart now. I was just wondering if they are pretty good quality compared to other oil filters? i used them the past couple of oil changes.

I'd find out who makes them.

The Baldwins are about 10 bucks.
