In many cases they're built by the same people! I'd get them from a motor factors, and not from ebay though.

So long as it is a major player, well established I would use these, the(new) oe ford ones I cut open were shocking, hence I won't use them now.

After market filters are just as good.I know some car companys use after market filters like framm for example.You could buy a genuine filter and it could have framm stamped on it.
