My formerly favorite brand of filter has moved production to China, so I am looking for a new favorite. Fram seemed to meet all my needs so I picked up a orange can at Walmart to bring home and look at. I noticed the start of the thread is really rough and has some metal flaking off of it - you can see a "hanging chad" piece in the top of this picture - there were a couple larger than this I flaked off with my fingernail.
I assume this is not good? How common is this? I was thinking some flavor of this filter was going to be my new standard - my dad has been using these since I was a kid and I am in my 50's. Thoughts?
The good news is it appears to have a drilled hole core, metal endcaps, and a nitrile ADV.
