MANN HU816X filter from my 2009 BMW 328i. Was in use for a little over 5,000 miles with Valvoline Euro 5w40. Same filter and oil went back in.

I see some waves; crushing perhaps?
My HU819X filters come out as straight and true as they go in ('07 Volvo 2.4l 5cyl.).
Mine's shorter and chunkier but likely identical construction.
I love the way the glue itself contributes structure.

From what I have seen, I think a lot of cartridge style oil filter housings use some compression, as a form of sealing. I'm assuming this, because I've seen a lot of cartridge style oil filters with waves. It's quite common.
