Off of a friends 15 passenger Ford Transit 3/4 ton van. I am guessing by the ADBV being silicone that it's a Napa gold? Oil was MaxLife Blend 5w30. I put in some QSED 5w30 and a FL-500S. Didn't get the date code also.
NAPA #7045, 15' Transit 15 pass van, CUT OPEN

While I'm less than impressed by the waviness that the filter is exhibiting in the 3rd and 6th pics, it appears to have held together overall.
My guess is the overall length of the filter, and the media, is the reason for the waviness. I'd say it would benefit from some backing.
Do you know how many miles were on the filter?

7,600 miles on the oil and filter. I am guessing a lot of short trips did the waviness on the media

I tend to think that SirTanon is on the right track--it is the length of the media that is contributing to the waviness. I saw similar on a non-wirebacked MC FL-2051s with only 4,664 miles:

When Wix was owned by the original Wix their filters were very good now that they are owned by the same company as purolater i won't use them anymore.
The FL-500S installed is considerably shorter than the NG 7045 removed (about an inch).
Yes it's a Gold the 4 digit part number confirms it. If it were a Pro Select it would be 27045 and a Silver would be 37045. I have noticed some lower volume part numbers are white cans in the Gold series for some reason.
Thanks for the cut and post!

I'm not particularly fond of the waviness but I suppose it did its job. Thanks for the C&P, car51.
Next time try the wire-backed Napa Platinum 47045
