This Fram ToughGuard TG9018 was in service for 8,532 miles with Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30 SN on my girlfriend's 2009 Pontiac G5 (2.2L Ecotec, 39,639 miles at time of oil change).
I guess it got crushed from the oil filter housing when I tightened it, but I haven't seen any holes or tears in the media. I am not able to fit a torque wrench to tighten to spec since there's some other component directly above the housing which doesn't allow for much clearance for the socket or a ratchet.
I replaced the filter with a Fram Ultra XG9018 and another 5qt jug of Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30 SN.
I still have the filter if anybody desires more photos of something specific.
