You're probably right.

My Toyota Camry filter had a wrap.
My Nissan filter(s) had a wrap after they switched to a domestic supplier.
My Subaru filters had a wrap.

I'm probably hitting all the cars with an oil filter wrap.

I've read something about moisture making filters go bad and the point of a (sealed) wrap is to keep moisture out. Am I over thinking it?

Find out who said that, and where.
We need to make sure those people are keep their helmets and name tags on. (Retard joke FYI)

As you read by now, yes you are clearly overthinking.

If you do that, you don't have to change them very often......
