I recently bought two of these filters from RockAuto and noticed that they aren't made by Mann-Hummel anymore, but now seem to be made in-house by Hyundai instead. Inspecting it raised quality concerns for me, notably the sloppy white lettering, the Hyundai logo poorly stamped on the bypass valve, and the excess glue on the inside.
I'm not really concerned whether it's real or not since I bought it from RockAuto, but I am curious if there's any quality differences vs. the old ones made by Mann. I for one have never seen the sloppy lettering on any of these filters before, in pictures or in-person, but both of these new ones are like this.
Anyone ever cut one of these new ones open and see? I'll cut mine open after I run an OCI, I just put it on yesterday.
