I second that. In my wrenching career, I have personally seen 3 Fram filters in which the filter media ripped from the end plate that it was glued to and pack up in the end of the filter blocking oil flow. All three instances happened on cold startup when pressure drop across the media is at maximum with cold, thick oil. Sounds like some serious QC and/or design flaw issues to me. I have even heard that Fram runs cardboard endplates to glue the filter media to instead of metal ones!
