My last order of 4 Hengst filters that I bought had junk falling out of the upper section slots in multiple places. I cleaned them off and used them anyways, but still, that should not be happening. It was small pieces of some sort of organic debris. Using Fram's and Bosch's now, so it won't be an issue anymore....
