I just installed a tranny filter in my Caravan a few weeks ago and went with the dealer OEM one made by Filtran/SPX.
Based on internet hearsay, I bought the "same" filter for my daughter's Chrysler from Car Quest because I was told it was the exact same Filtran/SPX made filter.
Well, it is a Filtran/SPX, but stamped on the plastic bag enclosing it is "MADE IN CHINA". The box and inside literature says "filter supplied by Filtran". But, unlike the OEM one I bought, the filter back has no stampings in it "Filtran/SPX".
What a disappointment. I wonder if the OEM one is made in China also??? Would filtran manufacture the exact same filter in two different plants......U.S./China?
