I don't think there are many people who think that car makers make all their
own bits. Certainly VW and Mann oil filters are identical.

The 'original' Saab oil filter with hologram seal "Don't accept anything but the
original" has just GM on the box, suggesting it is being used on the entire GM
fleet of cars. The filter itself reads "FGP - 55560202" and is made in Poland.
It it proba ok and I don't care.

biggest manufacturer of fuel tank sender units in the world.
Chances are that if you have a european car, it's sender unit
will have been made and supplied by Ford.
