No, but it does increase the probability of tearing IMO. I sound like a broken record, but straight, even, tight pleating is not rocket science. If it can be done with cartridge filters there is no excuse for canisters.
Quite possible. From what I've seen, the tears seem to be a result of the wide v at the seam though and haven't been passed onto the Mopar or Motorcraft filters.. yet. Lol. I probably seem like a broken record too, but Ill continue to use them until I see a trend in failures.
My Jeep is picky and seems to prefer Mopar/ MC filters so I am kind of limited.
