I'd say all the filters that go in the pan are China made. Even WIX. If you want USA made you will likely have to install a remote spin on filter system.

You might get charged perhaps a bit more than at other places, but why not go to your local transmission shop and get one there. There at least you can see where it was made. Filterteck and or Seal Power(one or the other was the supplier at the OEM level), were the filters we sold when I worked in the transmission parts industry. We wouldn't sell any made off shore filters, and avoided to the best of our ability NOT to purchase any off shore items. Really a hard thing to do, because at the distributor level, those off shore parts are DIRT CHEAP. If your local transmission shops can't help you, there might be a local Transtar outlet in your area, and if not, contact W.I.T. and ask either company for a NON off shore filter. You might want to even check with your local GM dealer to see what they've got.

Transmissions shops just like all business lowest bidder wins. So dont expect any extra super quality items there

Yep went to 3 transmission builders all use over seas filters so i guess there are no usa made filters around
Sorry to hear that. So, try the other sources I mentioned. With the exception of the shops that worked on taxis, cars heading for auctions, or cheap car lots, I never had many issues selling quality parts to my customers.
