How can a torn filter trash an engine? VW Beetle never even had an oil filter and they lasted 100K
If a piece of media tears off and goes down into the engine, it could do some damage. There have been cases where small chunks of filter media blocked piston oiling jets, which caused lack of oiling on the pistons and subsequent damage.
It would be rare, but it could happen.
