    -no logo of luberfiner on the filter body(just says made in USA and some sort of writing)
    -very dirty inside, i can see parts of the filter in the inside which has corrosion and metal filings
    -sticker of luberfiner only on box
    - not very good gasket placement
    - its no where near the pictures of the filters posted at luberfiner website..
    -the luberfiner filter locally sourced is no where near baldwin's and fleetguard's appearance and construction.

    You can pretty much bet those are fakes, All Luberfiners have full labeling on the filters to include there logo. There boxes are also fully printed in color with the logo and filter part number. From the ones I have they are constructed very well. They are made by Champion labs only in the US so if they don't look like what's on the site then they are not the real deal.




    And many come sealed in plastic just like Fleetguards.


    Of course if a place sells fakes of one brand it's a pretty good bet they will have fakes of another. I would just avoid them for those filters.

    Why would a business even stock such junk and try to pass them on to customers. You definitely don't want a rusty filter. Your better off with a VIC then a local made or China made fake.
