Looks like the spacer where the oil filter goes, prolly something got in between the filter/plate and when tightened created a stress point wher eit eventually cracked.

hmm that is interesting, I didnt find any debris or anything under it, that was actually one of the things I DIDNT touch on the car... I guess it pays to do it yourself eh?

could've been fractured before it was even installed from the factory. looks like there are some cracks developing on the piece you are holding.

That's weird. I've never seen an oil filter adapter break. It's not like it's under a lot of stress or anything. Maybe just a defect or something.
