Wow……..that’s not looking good at all
Media and spring look fine. Crazy with the glue though.
Trouble is....the fit of the spring plate into the filter element end cap is like a" cock in a sock!! "
The amount of oil that can bypass would be crazy.
I think the goal was not seal in the hole, but on the surface before the hole so to speak. I'm not defending the schlock job by Fram though, Good God.

Hack: "Ya', you don't need those, we just throw them in the garbage"
If the leaf spring is warped, even though it looks pretty ruffles free, that could also leave a pretty good leak gap. It needs to be flat (not warped) and smooth (no ruffles) to seal well with no gasket on a metal-to-metal interface. Got any photos of the light gap when the leaf spring is installed in the end cap?
At least the potting material/glue they use doesn't flake off in use like the crap glue that Motorcraft (Purolator/M+H) uses.

Just changed out the last EAO42...
Interesting...
Obviously made by someone else???
Has an integral relief valve.....and a much heavy casing ....overall looks VERY well made.
I gather this is an earlier series filter?? Looks much much better than the later samples I have..

The "Chocolate Sauce" is glue glue and more glue!
