Looks good to me. I dont see any oil in it. Why are you saying its used?
I worked for a long time at a local parts store and hardly any oil filters come wrapped in plastic or taped up anymore..... looks like a new filter to me.
I agree, had 2 Wix xp filters that had defects, they screwed on crooked. For the price I expected it to be good quality.The only ones I see with plastic on them are OEM.
I know the Subaru and Nissan OFs I use are wrapped in plastic and packed in a box. Honda and Hyundai were too.
I've been disappointed with Wix/Affinia filters as of late. The QC ain't what it used to be on them.
