Removed this defective Fram TG10060 that was ran for 6504 miles on a 2016 Ram 1500 5.7L
Upon cutting open some filter media was missing allowing unfiltered oil through four holes and tube seam it looks like. There were some flakes/specs in the bottom of the can so it did not bypass everything it appears. Oil was a mix of full synthetic 5w20 Havoline & Mobil 1.
It was the last of my older stash of TG's, all of the previous were fine when cut open. I reached out with photos to Fram via email to see what their response will be. Never had an issue like this one, another Fram TG10060 went back on but was newer/recently bought from Wally World along with a mix of 0w20 & 5w30 Total Quartz from my clearance stash.
