This filter is made by Mahle, an OEM supplier to all German auto manufacturers.We also offer Mann oil filters, another OEM supplier....See below. NOTE:
Mahle filters have a center hole which appears to be too small in
diameter to fit over the end of the spike however, this is the correct
filter. Simply push the filter onto the spike and it will seal
properly. This stretchy material in the center of the oil fiter is
merely the design of the filter manufacturer, to provide better sealing
at this point.
