I can’t blame you. These filters are just a liability at this point

I'm just amazed that a $13 Titanium can't outlast a $2 RA Champ because they can't be stopped from rusting! When the rust "bubbles" start forming under the paint, that's a warning to change it-catastrophic failure is imminent...

As Axl said-"I used to love her(Fram), then I had to kill her"!

Noticed this when checking oil . Probably just the coating wearing of exposing the paint beneath . This is the newer filter w/o the metal screen .

I should take a pic of the FS3600 under my engine once the rain subsides, its been wet all week here in the southern west coast.

Dry season is coming. Rainy months have passed. So far no rust other than white colored dry water stains on the bottom. Its been about 3 months since the filter install.
90% highway driving.

Was it exposed to wet salted roads, or just plain rainy soaked roads?

Just plain ol southern califonia highway roads. 100 miles daily on the interstate 60 and 10 from inland empire to los angeles.
