## Discrepancy

REMOVED THIS FILTER AND CUT OPEN TO INSPECT CONTENTS AS PAR OF A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE.   FOUND THE FILTER MEDIA HAD SEPARATED WHERE THE ENDS ARE CRIMPED TOGETHER.  FOUND THE GASKET BETWEEN THE INNER FILTER AND THE END PLATE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED.  THIS GASKET WAS TORN AND HANGING INTO THE FILTER PIC 2,3, AND 4.  HAVE CUT OPEN 3  OIL FILTERS THIS BRAND, ALL 3 HAVE SHOWN THE SAME FAILURES.  HAVE SENT COPIES OF PICTURES TO MFG ENGINEERING DEPT.  NO IMMEDIATE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE NOTED.  THESE FAILURES ARE CAUSING UNFILTERED OIL TO CIRCULATE THROUGH THE ENGINE.
