A lower end filter, I used to cut open filters at work in the 1980s and low cost filters are just that. Fram orange cans media has always been tougher that most lower cost filters.
Wait a minute, some people in the thread linked below said that the Proselect filter media tore because of too many miles. Are you telling me that it could have been torn up like that at only 3000 miles?!?
Came off of a 2007 Durango, had Mobil Special 5w20 for oil. Filter had 8300 miles on it since last LOF 2 years ago. Torn in 8 separate spots that I can see, tried to get pics of the most obvious ones.

Hard to say when a torn filter actually tore during the use period. When the reported torn Purolator filters were coming in frequently, some of them had tears with less than 3000 miles on them.
