Carquest and MicroGuard oil filters

[GW.]

I have seen a couple of Ecogards with torn pleats and maybe a few PGI's with excess glue but those are few and far between when compared to the running average of crap Mann + Hummel USA put out. Even the PGI's with excess glue were a non issue as the glue they use cures pretty hard to not really be shedding into the oil flow stream unlike the M+H filters with their black glue that easily peels off.

Oh wow can’t believe I missed torn pleats. 10k or 5k Ecogards?

This filter was off a work vehicle; 2020 KIA Forte for almost 6,4xx milers. Have not saw a ECOGARD oil filter that tore to be honest. Reinstalled a ProTec “by WIX” made in China and Safety Kleen 5w30 synthetic. 41,xxx on vehicle.

Here is one WCW had in one of his videos:

"Some older stock made in China CQP including the 84356 used a nitrile P type sealing gasket."
My made in China ones have red P type gaskets, and they sure feel like silicone to me.

My China CQPs and STP XLs had red square cut gaskets.
