Couldn’t edit this in time but it’s a Mighty brand oil filter. Can’t decipher date code. Made in Mexico also.

You can see the louvers "through" the elements infolds. This filter likely wasn't filtering at all.

Junk construction like this is why I'll never buy "jobbers' filters" or into extended drains. Even if I get a succession of bad filters, a 5K OCI cleans my oil (ha-ha).

Looks like reflections of light off the oily pleats to me.
 
Date code guess would be on the string "220511" as May 11, 2022.

Yeah, louvers aren't that great ... I'd pass on those after a visual inspection. They can do better than that without much effort.
 
Tec Select is the lowest tier filter they offer. The Mighty Max and engine guard are both decent filters.
