The Bosch Oil Filters I use have "See Product For Country Of Origin" on the box but when you look on the Oil Filter there is no Country of Origin on them.

I am also seeing products that have a list of as many as 4 countries the product could have been made in on the label.
Your thermostat is easy to explain, the box was made in Israel !!
Your Oil filters sound Korean.

We get some things down here that have "made in Australia from local & imported parts" ~ it has 1 screw in it from Australia, who knows where the rest came from !!
