Just searching today found this thread with 3 different fleetguards codes for Wix equivalent filters:

By the way, I checked my local O'Reilly Auto Parts, and they still have Wix 51515 made in the USA, so I guess that there is still inventory around (most probable) or they are still producing some of them in the US.

I was in my local NAPA store today and did a quick check of a few of the NAPA Gold oil filters. The boxes I checked said the contents were made in the U.S., Mexico and Poland. I never bothered to check before but I sure will now.

I picked up a Fleetguard Friday from the shop that services the trucks I drive. When the service manager handed me the filter I checked to make sure it was the right # and it was but I also got a surprise to see also printed on the filter was "Made in Mexico" so I guess nobody is immune from being out sourced. Well hopefully the quality is still there and I can't complain I got the filter for free.

Just curious.... you say you think the one rocker you see is not getting enough oil. How much IS coming out? At idle, I would not expect much more than a slow dribble.

At a idle almost nothing it only starts to oil when I run up the RPMs.
