It's got a stamped leaf spring.Did this have a coil spring or one of them stamped steel pieces
We may find out if things have improved...thanks.Quick update . I went and bought a brand new FL820s . Look at date code . Look like it’s feb 2021 . Will cut open tomorrow with a tin nip tool . The cut might not look pretty but I will try not cut the filter lol .
kinda feel not wasted a perfectly filter . But anyway will cut open tomorrow . See how the wavy or adbv cut or any large hole on filter .
look like they keep making this filter fresh according to the date . Look like this filter made last month . This is the new MCfl820s with new beautiful sticker label .

Pleats will not be wavy or torn ... that happens under use. Some pleats could be wide spaced. Bend the media to see how brittle it is.Quick update . I went and bought a brand new FL820s .

Agree . It’s still a good filter for short oil change 3-5k miles . Not for 7k+ miles oil filter for sure .If they tumbled that base plate some, things might improve.
Still needs more pleats.
What's up with that? Shouldn't be able to make the potting open up like that with some pleat side pressure. That's something not ever seen before it seems.
Yes, the sharp base plate hole edges cut into the ADBV. Seen it many times with C&Ps.I think those cut from the silicone adbv is from those holes on the metal plate . I note the imprint of those hole on the adbv silicone . Mabe it’s little to sharp .
Pretty slick if you ask me.What's up with that? Shouldn't be able to make the potting open up like that with some pleat side pressure. That's something not ever seen before it seems.
