Outstanding information! I want to reduce my purchases to zero Chinese products! Zero!
Good luck. Even the American stuff is either assembled in China or assembled in America with Chinese parts.

I did the oil in my 09 P71 earlier. The filter I have also has a sticker instead of printed on. I got mine at Walmart so it looks like it’s how the new stock is. I guess it’s hard to see but you can see the outline of the sticker if you have a large monitor.

I bet Ford got a new supplier.
Given our times today and how things are going, fords normal supplier may not be meeting demands. I know the factory im working at is in a hiring struggle. Its a revolving door of new employees. They cant get enough people hired in nor will they stay.
If my memory serves me, but doesnt puralator oil filters use stickers and decals?

I don’t know I never use them. I strictly use motorcraft filters.

I have been using motorcraft filters and other products since high school and not one sticker
I was just surprised to see a sticker and not the painted on label
Unless they are cutting corners
Not sure
I even had some ford racing filters for the 460
In my 92 gt
Those were painted on

I tell our military guys look at the filters closely
Sme missing rings some not crimped at the top correctly and leak
Some threads messed up won't screw on the housing
But yes I do look at them before installing
