RE: Please... no one kid themselves...

Posted by dark_dave56 on May 13, 2022 at 06:55:19:
Please don't kid yourself... Do you honestly believe that GM, Ford, and Chrysler (whoever they are, these days) has their own plants manufacturing AC/Delco, Motorcraft, and Mopar parts--especially something like oil/air/fuel filters, fluids, shocks, or batteries? They don't even build their own transmissions anymore, much less the fluids/filters that go in them.

I have my vehicles serviced at the appropriate dealers with OEM components, but that is strictly a matter of warranty and other documentation purposes. I have no delusions that the AC/Delco oil/air/fuel filters on my truck or Suburban were made in a GM plant, or that the Dex-cruel coolant or Dex-rot tranny fluid was either. My truck is a diesel, and it is advertised (badged) as having an Allison transmission--not a GM transmission. It's not even a "secret"--it's an advertised selling-point.
