probably wouldn’t use that one. those small bits could possibly break off and go through your engine.
Oh wow. First sloppy PG I’ve seen. Thanks for posting.
Unfortunately, almost half of the 12 I got have some streaks or bits like this.
Was this from the Walmart super duper sale?
Yep.
Anyway to return them?
It’s almost like Walmart got the seconds. QC is normally outstanding on PG.
I did use Microgard Select which is a Premium Gard and they were great build quality and probably the best quality control on the market. However one of them did have excess glue just like yours and I ended up just switching back to OEM AC Delco and Toyota on my vehicles.
Also didn't like the fact that the MSL51040 for my Chevy looked to have a bypass valve which is not correct as it is built in on GM vehicles that call for PF47E.

This was sold on Walmart Marketplace by Premium Guard, shipped from Premium Guard. I'm not gonna bother, cause fortunately, I wasn't planning on using all of them anyway. And it was less than $10 for the case.
I see a bunch of adhesive / glue at the bottom of PG filters when looking through C&P's (here's an example on YouTube), but I'm not sure how often they get sloppy with streaks. I'm not surprised though.

Email PG and see what they say
Here's another example from Whip City Wrencher:
Another:
Guess it's more common than I thought and I just wasn't paying attention before.

I’ve definitely seen an even glue ring around the bottom. But nothing like yours. $10 for a case almost sounds like factory rejects. Your right, probably not worth your time to return.
Send them to me, I'll run them in my old Civics all day long. That doesn't bother me in the least.
I'll probably experiment with them. Maybe try to see how well it's stuck on there. Or are you saying you're comfortable with bits of adhesive going into the oil? How's the glue in the made in China filters you got?

You have a link to that ?
That's the normal glue bead in every PG filter I've looked at. The one you got has some sloppy glue in places it shouldn't be.
The listing was removed.
It's a Honda it will eat anything and never die. But seriously I wouldn't recommend it.
Look closely. They have a streak where they shouldn't.
