Filters - Beware of Counterfeit Filters - hypoxia - 09-30-2024

I have followed this thread about counterfeit oil filters and have seen videos of the production of counterfeit filters.  The possibility of having an "O" ring in the filter getting sucked into the engine is real.  I started a list of filters I need; oil, air, air dryer, coolant, fuel, etc. and realize they are all probably being counterfeited.  I no longer look for the best price, now I look for the source and will go directly to the manufacturer if needed.
