Carquest EP P84502 (Vietnam) Virgin C&P

I'm surprised at the rather generic looking nitrile (I assume) gasket. The CQ Premium I use on my Nissan Frontier has a shaped silicone seal with an inner lip that keys into a slot on the filter's base. That's a far superior design in my opinion.

I think it depends on the model #. This one in this post by @Glenda W. has the p-style gasket.

"Hydrigebated" no less. Whatever that gives ya ... guess it's good for a 20K OCI or 1 year, which ever happens first.

That's known as a "P-gasket" style base gasket. The cross section of it is shaped like the letter "P".
