Besides OP being either 1) too proud to accept their own mistake and for blaming any one brand on operator error, or 2) trolling looking for an argument, how is it people who have double gasket issues never seem to wipe the mating surfaces off? This is why I don't buy this. Either its a sloppy oil change at best, or it's a made up story.
Always check for double gaskets on install.

OP has to go stand in the corner. Don't come out until you've realized your mistake!
This is America, we blame others before we take personal responsibility.
Easy guys, let's not hammer him too hard.
The oil filter Gaskets on my XG8a sized filters fits nearly perfectly on cans of spray lubricant and similar.
I use them to hold the red straws to their sides.
Unlikely i would ever leave one stuck to engine block, as I look at these as valuable and useful, and I've never had one stick to the engine before anyway.
The fram ultra and the Mobil 1 m1-301 gaskets are twice as thick.

Not very likely on a Denso oil filter because the O-ring type seal is contained. Nice design on a very well made filter.

Well, to me it’s one of those things that happens and then you will be the last person it ever happens to
(by looking at the old filter and making sure the gasket is there)
It makes me of something I would see on one of those clickbait YouTube channels where the content creator is conjuring up some ignorant video premise to suck people in. It's like that one clown who cut open a Fram can filter with a grinder in ugly fashion and then suggested that it was internally damaged because of Fram's quality control. I am pretty sure they know exactly what they are saying and doing and the reactions they hope will result.
I have to ask, who is more foolish? The person suggesting like this is true or the one who genuinely believes them?

Most people on the board are genuine, but there are a few who join to troll or push a specific agenda. Either way, they typically meet their deserved demise. Too early to tell in this case.
I refuse to tell you there were 2 or 3 Toyota oil plug gasket warshers on my 1993 Toyota 4WD PU with the 22R-E before my brother pointed it out to me. They were stuck on so I thought it was a raised boss on the pan.

I use the Ultra on my Frontier and never had a problem.
I learned a long time ago the "hard" way to always check the top of the old filter and the filter seating face.
Easy guys! In the big scheme of things this doesn't rate up their with running a car out of oil because you didn't check.
Yeah
Has anyone yet mentioned to the OP what he should do henceforth?
So what you're really saying is that you put a Fram Ultra on your Audi before the wreck?

Several have stated something to the effect the gasket surface on the engine as well as the filter base plate should be checked before installing the new filter.
I work part time in a lube shop and I have seen this from every single filter brand that’s come through. But, like others have mentioned, ALWAYS make sure the filter mount is clean before installing the new filter.
