I have had three defective Carquest/wix filters in the last few mounts. They leak under the seal were it seals again the filter. :shock: When you lift the seal I had no problem seeing the issue they have bad welds. I found the issue with other wix filters on the shelf. I stopped by the store and found others with the same issue. I am back to stocking Purolater filters NO WELDS under the seal :D They cost a few bucks more but its not worth a few bucks to kill a engine.
One in the pix is new leaked right out of the box it has a crack.
Bad filter

Same dirty filter center, right filter same changed every 3K religiously with 5/30 synthetic blend
I do around 30 to 50 oil changes a mo I get to see my share of filters... The one on the chebby I have learned to look for this issue...
