Noticed this on a PH4386 I picked up at HD for my next oil change - the SureGrip coating isn’t “sharply” masked off like on many non-AAP Frams. I’m still going to use this but I wonder if the PLCs controlling the coating line or the line inspector was on acid…
 
I’ve searched for a video of the application process but could not find one. Be assured these things run through the assembly line at several per second, so a glitch would affect hundreds at a time. I don’t think their QA calls this a fail. Although this is the worst one I’ve seen, I have noticed many more with with a sloppy edge.
