Brand New Blocked Oil Filter?

That's handy to know, as don't like the idea of trusting my motor's well- being / life expectancy to some Chinese process workers quality control......

I know the vid says made in Mexico, but cheap labour usually goes hand in glove with poor Q C.

Don't forget, for instance, the luxury product "Apple MacIntosh" is, to a very large degree, produced in China.

The Wiki says

Quote

Apple insiders "believe the vast scale of overseas factories, as well as the flexibility, diligence and industrial skills of foreign workers, have so outpaced their American counterparts that 'Made in the U.S.A.' is no longer a viable option for most Apple products"

The quality you get from China, amongst other producing countries, entirely depends on what the client stipulates and is prepared to pay for. If the client company is cheapskate, you get crap. If the client company is prepared to pay for quality, that is what you get.

More than happy to pay for quality in anything...

But I object to paying for crap masquerading as quality...regardless of where it was made.

I agree with the last paragraph. Companies having their own "in country" representation also helps with regards to QC monitoring as well I think.
