Recently came across this issue. When you pick up your modern oil filters be sure to take it out of the box and shake it. If it rattles, it is bad. They use a spring clip on the bottom and if it gets dropped, it can dislodge basically giving you no filtering as it'll bypass the cartridge.

Came across this on one I had. Went to the store and 3 out of 4 were bad (including my original). May have been a manufacturing problem as well but check them out before putting them on. THEY SHOULD NOT RATTLE.

Yes, it was a Fram filter
