so you all beware WIX has these now made in CHINA !!! more crap .. just like the johnson controls "red top" batteries all crap not made here anymore...
j_cAT, I just bought a Wix 51522XP Filter from the local O'Reilly store, and it is American made, not Chinese. Hopefully they are all USA manufactured now, and not just me getting lucky finding an old stock filter.
