Yep, looked at the Mobil 1 & saw the metal end caps & US origin. I've not been able to find a Fram Ultra XG9972 yet, but supposedly it's a really good filter & certainly a good price if it's all that it's cracked up to be.
Yep, found both Wix offerings.
eBay, Amazon, and Rock Auto
But if you insist on actually buying your filter at a regular store, Walmart has Fram Ultra, and Napa has the Wix filters (Gold = regular Wix, Platinum = XP)
As for Mahle, their filters are very good quality, despite the bad website. There is really no need to actually visually inspect, as long as it doesn;t arrive damaged, and the COO can be found online
