Dodge Hemi tear down. Name the STP filter?

[MarvinTheAndroid]

Ran across this video where they tear down a failed Dodge Hemi engine and pretty near blame the STP filter, seen clearly at the 28:09 and 32:43 mark, for the failure. Can't make out what type of STP or mfr it is though.

Got this filter as part of a promo when I bought some Valvoline Restore and Protect from AutoZone. The one for my application did not have the "leak tested" stamp on top, so not sure who manufactures this one?

Anyways, did an oil change on my 6.4 Ram 2500. Started the truck a couple of days later and got about 10 seconds worth of ticking. Thought it was a fluke and did not start the truck for another 4 to 5 days. This time, the motor was noisy for at least 30 to 45 seconds, sounded rough.

Went to Walmart and got a Mopar filter just to see. She is back to no tick startups.

I'm not...

It's a Champion Labs made STP LX. See link below.

Same filter as seen here and here. Only variation with this one is the COO being USA, versus China above.

Here's a screen shot at time 28:00, it's a Champion Labs made STP XL. No red silicone base gasket, so not built the same. Has a louvered center tube time 30:42 and has a leaf spring too, as seen at time 33:00.

So is it “another dead Mopar Hemi,” or is this a noble engine foiled by a dastardly STP filter? (Not that I am a fan of that filter!)

Oh man, I posted a dupe. Thanks for the info!
