OK, well I was just making the point that the Carquest filter (white with Red lettering) looked very similar in construction to the Protec fiter in the linked thread.
The Protec said made in Little Rock SC, which then was said very cryptically to be close to the Wix Dillon plant in SC, by the Wix authority.
Where I get confused is, when Purolator makes a filter like Motorcraft and now Bosch et.al., we say it's Purolator made. No problem with anyone in this forum, right.
So is it ok to say(or not), that Wix makes brand X, Y or Z, as long as we don't say it's a Wix (branded) filter right?
Just want to get it right, and not step on anyone's toes, so to speak.
