Mobil 1 Filter M1C-251

I changed my oil today and found the Mobil 1 Filter to be a little sloppy. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Been heard before. Did you get one made in China? Poorly glued?

I made sure I purchased the Made in USA filters as I've read the Chinese made filters are poor. No issues with the glue aother than it can be seen wherethe two fins are joined.
