Do new filter in package have any damage/issue sitting extreme cold for 6 months

[asker123]

Filter is Fram Ultra XG 7317 for Honda Accord
I normally keep filters in my basement but this winter the filter just stayed in my unheated garage for 6 months or so. We reach continuous negative temprs in Manitoba including weeks of -25 Deg C.
I have brough the filter in the house for last 2 weeks now but just trying to check if there is something I need to check.
I know the filters stay on the cars in extreme cold but then those are in installed position. In the package, the gasket might get brittle or something and lose elasticity etc?
Just checking as the car is important to me

Ultra has a silicone ADBV. So, shouldn't be an issue in my opinion.

I can't see what on a filter could possibly freeze? It freezes while on your car?

Over thinking it... So you're in good company around here, lol. I have filters in my stash that are probably over a decade old and would use them without hesitation.

They're going to see those temps if installed. So I would say no with modern rubber and silicone materials.

Just make sure they don't show any signs of rusting on the base plate and down inside the center tube.

All my filters sit in my garage year round. -30 to +30C. Never a problem. My oil is out there too.

The only thing that would be on my mind was mentioned above by Zee0Six……condensation/rust. If that was an issue, it should be obvious.
