No disrespect to you or anything but it seems from searching the fora that the metal-capped Fram oil filter for our FSI engines is not well-regarded. maybe the quality control suffered when they moved production to China.
I have chinese friends and i have nothing against china, but the truth is that they will provide any level of quality control you are willing to pay for. And sometimes a vendor isn't willing to pay for much.
My friend Zhang argues, for example, that a white american quality executive signed off on the lead painted toys Mattel sold.
If you want to have a race to the bottom, the chinese are eager to be your pit crew. But that does not mean that it is their preference.
That crumpled filter was probably a fluke. Count your blessings that it didn't just tear off of the metal cap, and maybe consider a different brand for your next oil change.
