This filter has only been run for 300 miles! I am doing a Yamalube Ring Free Plus Shock Treatment! third oil change on 1000 miles, I did cut open the first two oil filters.

Shame on WIX.
wix 
Yep I don’t trust any WIX product made after 2017
M+H nightmare….
Shame on that WIX. That is dangerous.
Wjen I want real quality I grab a OG ultra or titanium
That strong cleaning agent dissolved the glue. Are any filters made without glue, only with crimps? That would be the one to use for cleaning.
I do not think so, I had changed the oil previously two different times at 300mile intervals. Cut the filters open the other filters did not do this. I am going to dig it out of the trash and check the date on the can.oh Mann not another
It's not an oil treatment so i doubt it's able to do that to the filter because there shouldn't be anywhere near enough in the oil through dilution. Did the oil reek of gas?
I would contact the manufacturer.
Here is the other oil change with 300 Miles before using the WIX
It’s a known M+H problem. We call them poppers in the oil filter forum. Sometimes the glue breaks apart and gets through the bypass valve or center tube and ends up in the engine.

Yes, please let us know. Thanks
Now that is scary!
No those are good. We see them in M+H made Wix, Purolator, and Motorcraft mostly. Rarely in other brands.
