Probably a purolator
Looks fine to me, good amount of miles with no defects.
this should be mopar #090 as shown on can, which is putolator 14670, Mobil 204, Napa/wix *1085 ?, fram16
Basically a puro classic with thread end bypass, similar to a motorcraft IMO. 7500mi might be reason for wavy (pleats, not that it matters

Factory fill?

I'd love to see a UOA report on the oil that came out of that engine.
Thanks for posting. That looks like an amazingly high amount of dirt, sand and other debris in the filter. In fact, I can't recall seeing any filter cut open with more debris. I would have some concern that there is some "opening" in the filtration system such as the air cleaner circuit or something. It looks like there is some excess contamination coming from somewhere. I would check that everything is buttoned up tight and that it isn't sucking dirt somewhere past a filter. In checking my cars in the past, I have sometimes found loose connections which would have allowed in extra dirt if not caught. Good luck.
Thanks for posting another cut open filter.
Filter looks good for almost 8k miles in an engine with more than 200k miles.

I was thinking the same thing...I hope the OP dropped the filter base-end down in the old roagy drain pan...
On the plus side, if that is indeed Purolator-made, it bodes well for the stuff they make for the OEMs...like Motorcraft...not having the torn media issue, which will make ME feel better.

Shorter interval maybe?[/quote]
