Yes, it was a STP (Deutch part number 800) bought from Autozone. There was a sticker on the outside of the box that said, "Made in India." The filter didn't look like the Hengst I used for the previous oil change.

I have parked the car until I get the new filters from Fastlane. I don't want to cause any damage.....I hope I haven't already done any with the few miles I drove the car after I finished the oil change.

So, has anyone else experienced a problem with a filter made in India?

TXBILL, did you say that you had some problems with them? I am curious as to why the oil isn't flowing correctly. I may take it apart once I remove it from the car.

I'm usually not a brand name kinda guy. But in this case, I will use only the original stuff.

Thanks for the replys,
