AMSOIL partnered with Wix and Donaldson a few years ago and AMSOIL now stocks Wix filters. Available online to any forum member, U.S. or Canada via the info in my signature.

Arguably one of the best filters on the market today (and Made in the USA) is the new AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter, which was made in partnership with Wix and Donaldson. The EAO25 fits later C3's, not sure about early ones. Applicability can be looked up here: AMSOIL Online Product Application Guide

Does anyone know which premium filters are actually made in North America?
