as in 20 05 12
May 20, 2012
but I think they were still US-made back then
It could also be 12 01 15 (or 16) the last six digits
December 1, 2015/16
or
January 12, 2015/16
This is consistent with the time they were made in Mexico
K&N oil filters were all made in Mexico for awhile, but they recently switched back to the US for most of the spin-on cans. The cartridges come from Korea, but come in a snazzy red color
The US-made K&N cans are indeed the same as M1
There is nothing wrong with the Mexican K&N, but it's not worth the price they charged for it.
