I discovered a hole through the media of the Napa ProSelect 27712 that was in use on my 2012 Subaru Legacy 2.5i for about 7300 miles / 5 months (~10000-17300mi). The oil used was Napa Synthetic 5w30. This was the first time I tried the Napa Pro Select 27712 engine oil filter on this vehicle.
This is pretty scary. I've opened up dozens of used oil filters for engines/equipment I've done oil changes on, and this is the first media failure I've found.
I'll be sticking with the blue OEM Subaru filters from now on!
