Tired of doing their job for them, a bit of cutting oil is one thing but chips of steel from cutting the threads is another. IIRC Denso filters come clean (and shrink wrapped!) but I haven't bought one lately. I've sworn off Wix for this problem (among other random debris), and a Mahle I got off rock auto as order filler that even had ragged edges on the inlet holes.
Filter brands that come with clean baseplate threads?

I've thought about trying an M1 filter just because they look sweet!
Haven’t had any issues with my Mopar, Motorcraft or Fleetguard filters.
Just my $0.02

Purolator was terrible about this. I have never seen a Fram with metal chips or thread chasings there.
I've looked close at Fram threads and the ones I have used look to be rolled instead of cut, so no chips/debris. I still clean them up "just in case" regardless of what filter brand I use.
Helped a friend do an oil change just a few days back with one of those, had oil and junk in the threads.I've thought about trying an M1 filter just because they look sweet!
The Pro-Tec Master Pack of filters that I bought from O'Reilly had every single filter individually wrapped, I looked closely at the threads during my last oil change after reading a bit here. Everything looked perfect. For the cheapest filter(s) I could find, can't complain for my purposes.
What about the Gold Can of Greatness?Me, I just always grab an Orange Can of Deliciousness or a Gray Can of Happiness
