Recently replaced the original air filter in my son's 2016 VW Passat 1.8t. The car has ~49,000 miles. I'm sure the filter could have gone another 50k all the way to 100,000, but I changed it anyway.
As you can see (hopefully pics uploaded properly) the original filter was a Wix, made in Mexico. Replacement was a Mahle, made in Romania.
Mostly unremarkable, and that's a good thing in this case. Car is mostly suburban driven in Pennsylvania and a bit in New Jersey and Maryland with a couple thousand-ish mile road trips.
