So I figured I'd try some photos of a filter also, to toss my hat into the ring. Here's some pics of my Toyota OEM filter from my 2013 Camry Se with 27k miles. The filter was run with TGMO 0W-20 for about 3500 miles and Mobil 1 AFE for another 3500 miles. Run during extremely cold winter season for 3 of the 6 months. Idling of about 30 minutes per day in 0F-15F temps. Highway driven 90%. The filter drained in a small jar for about 24 hours prior to the photos (figured too much info couldn't hurt)
The photos should be clickable for much larger and closer views.
Side view, natural afternoon light
End view (not sure why aftermarket cartridge filters have such larger caps and Toyota only uses a resin glue... or if that is a BAD THING?) Flash used for this photo.
Side view Natural afternoon light. Note a little sludge granule on the filter about 1 inch out from my pointer finger. That must have come from setting it temporarily in my soiled oil drain pan??
