Hi, after reading through this thread, decided to try fleetguard filters. Bought some today at Prudential Intertrade at east service road, bicutan paranaque. An LF3462 for my mazda 323 1.3li and supposedly a LF3403 full flow and LF3523 bypass for the R2 2.2li. diesel engine rocsta jeep.The guy gave me a donaldson P550162, said it was the replacement for the 3403, but the LF3523 bypass they had made me doubt its authenticity, it had only the filter mouth covered with plastic, no "made in u.s.a" mark, and the fleetguard name in red not black, decided not to get it. The LF3462 was P260. and the donaldson P550162 was P225.
The Fleetguard filters name can be in red or black, But no country of origin = fake period some are made in other countries like France. Plastic covering only the bottom of the filter = fake only china knockoff's will be like that.
