We use Mercury racing…nothing fancy. Probably overpriced for what they are. But we’ve never had an issue. Knock on wood

They only print labels, filter is made by another company. Not sure who, someone here probably knows.

Someone on here did a comparison with pictures of a Merc filter vs. Wix 51222R.
Tear down of both filters. They are exactly the same filter. Different sticker, different price.
