Paper media; nitrile ADBV; e-core gaps == Cheap junk, not good. That said, doubt any engine will be messed up using it. That's why GM gets away with peddling this awful product.

Yes it was. I noticed it before I even cut it open, I was honestly giddy I’d found my first torn filter

Looks like someone using something to puncture thru the media - from the outside -inward. Strange indeed!

This filter was not having any of that extended OCI...looks like a pencil was poked through it almost. ADBV was stiff and kinda stayed bent after squeezing it hard enough.
If the thread title is correct 14,000 miles, that is insane! I did the conversion & that is over 22,000 kilometers. Ive gone by the OLS in my trucks since 2000 & I know I've NEVER gone past 14,000 kilometers. I'm thinking this is just a case of sheer neglect

I've had an Ecore blow out in exactly the same manner with less than 4k miles. That hole was probably there for 10k+ miles.
