The oil filter game is all a money grab. Prices are whatever any vendor wants them to be.

An AC Delco PF64 at my local Advance Auto is $9. The Mobile 1 M1-114a is $18.

Madness....

The PF64 filter is actually made in the good, old USA, even though it's packaging may not be.

I want to agree, but that legal verbiage leaves too much wiggle room.

Why didn't they just say, "Made in the USA"? It's not like we're talking about grapes from California. Sounds like AC Delco probably sells their patent to have it "made" or assembled in other locations....likely in effort to cut logistical expenses. Or maybe parts of the filter comes from other sources.

All said, I will buy them until I have reason to look elsewhere.

I'm sure the filters aren't all stamped "Product of USA". GM probably licenses the filter to other other countries that also import the C8.
