Awww crud, you discovered my other handle.

That black grippy coating makes it easy to get tight by hand-and MANY times, I can even take them OFF by hand! Something bad happened to that filter, that's a crease that's leaking, not a hole. Filter was installed incorrectly.

Use factory filter which is a blue fram with P gasket, differing spec media and Si adbv and a better build..

Now, I'm no expert, but if I had to make a guess, I'd say that this filter was installed by an over-caffeinated Gryphon. The claw marks are a dead giveaway.

This post perhaps shows you can't trust every post made here with pictures of oil filters.

Sounds to me like it was damaged either prior to or during installation. However, It is possible a rock or something similar may have hit it. I actually ran over such a large rock a couple months back it left a dent in my exhaust resonator and in the underbody of my car. Luckily on the front end of things, it hit subframe parts which only took some minor scratching to the paint.

If there was a "little stream" of oil flowing out, and you just happened to check your oil the second that this was observed, you should know exactly what YOU did to cause that damage. Run over a curb?

A stream of oil falling from an orifice would empty the engine very quick.

I've seen it before many time..? damage caused by a Black Bear

Yeti filters can handle bears

LOL thats definitely not Frams fault.

Very true the hole made in the Fram Ultra leaked the oil out. More interesting is driving the car after finding it almost out of oil and then going to a car wash and seeing oil running out. Entertaining, one thing after the other. Then the extra full turn with piers after hand tightening the filter was icing on the cake.

Welcome back, E20.

Troll or not, maybe the OP should seriously consider giving up DIY vehicle servicing.

You pierced it by using your plier tool to tighten it after install.

 

[Yah-Tah-Hey]

Not road debris. Those are tool marks. You couldn't get those marks from road debris in a million miles. TOOL MARKS. I think we have a tin horn four flusher jerking our leg.

 

[DoubleWasp]

User error, no defect here.

 

[Bottom_Feeder]

Shenanigans.

Agreed, 100% install by a gorilla with pliers

Truth, upon simply reading the title....
My first thought was "veryHeavy" just made a new username

 

[SatinSilver]

Probably the most favored oil filter on here right now is the Ultra. So perfect opportunity for a troll to come along and trash it. 0% believable.

Exactlamente.
