This traverse has been notoriously hard on oil filters. I have posted several ac delco and wix filters that look maybe even worse than this filter. Most of the waviness is from me cutting the can open and getting into the end cap.
And stop saying that an oil filter looks like it has been used as much as it can. Unless it is completely packed with sludge there is no way to tell from a picture on the internet how utilized a filter is.
If you can't see it, it has half the amount of media than any filter I have seen. Did you post it to showw off or ask for opinions? You got good opinions because looking at that picture, there's nothing to show off there.
How are you able to tell it is half the media than any other filter if I haven't cut the media off and measured it? It looks just as good as some of the other supposedly better filters I have run on this vehicle. I am actually beginning to show a trend that a lot of why a filter looks the way it does after being used has as much bearing on what engine it was used on as how it was made.
Here is the last filter I took off this vehicle. A Napa gold.
