Bosch filters are being made in countries where quality is not in their vocabulary. I've seen Bosch made in Tunisia , Israel , Taiwan ect, interesting I have never seen one from Germany or UK?
Purolator have a good name with me but, until recently so did Bosch.

Bosch, like Purolator, have several lines of filters to choose from. Some are good, some not so good. FWIW, I haven't been using the Bosch filter since we switched to their Steeltech line. Before the switch, however, I ran their filters for years without issue. As far as country of origin, cost of manufacturing has forced some to get their product from less than desirable countries, in order to stay competitive. It's unfortunate, but reality.
