Amazon says this. Is it true?
Well, just so happens I removed a 57035 from my Simplicity when I changed its oil yesterday. Went out and double checked.....can says made in U.S.A.
On the other hand, if you're considering a 57035, might I suggest instead a Wix 51056 as an alternative. Essentially the same size filter (the 51056 is 0.4" taller, but that's the only dimension that's different between the two)--same gasket size, etc.
But the 51056 has a nominal micron rating of 21 microns while the 57035 has a nominal micron rating of 32. Personally, I changed to the 51056 given its supposed slightly better filtering ability and it cost the same.
