That center tube looks like GARBAGE! Hopefully your friend never decides to run that brand/make filter again.
Took off an XG3593A today off the Odyssey, and for the first time ever in my life, the gasket stuck to the filter mount. It was a perfect teaching opportunity for my 10-year-old son to learn the importance of checking everything instead of blindly going thru the motions.
In went one-twelfth of the Delo XLE I've purchased, and one of the FULL brand M-Pleat filters I got from Hootbro. It's only three miles, but the Delo is definitely quieter than the Harvest King 5W30 D1G2 that was in the sump for 5k, nearly all of the valvetrain noises are soft and cushioned now.
