Oil filter surprise

Was in a rush, the other day, and picked up a Chinese made autozone $5.99; STP S7317 oil filter.
I thought to myself, 'damn this thing is small', then went on my way.
A few days later, after throwing out the AZ receipt, I compared it to the $5.99 American made Purolator L14459 I had on hand and was surprised.
Won't make that mistake again.

7317 is pretty common for smaller honda/acura like civic and 3g & up v6. It'll work, but i've never liked how they look on the older motors that usually run 3593 filters or equivalents. I used to like getting k&n filters from amazon but the prices have tripled in the past year or so, seemingly from manufacturing workers on lockdown overseas.

"Hecho in China"
Just sounds funny to me.
