Never noticed that they were made in the godd ole USA. But I would never put Autolites in anything except the lawnmower. Thet remind me of Fram filters. Thanks Fram for blowing up my engine.

But you're ok that the Big 3 make a good percentage of their cars in Mexico/Canada??? :? I'd venture to say that some of the 'foreign' auto makers are more domestic than the domestics!
