the rest of the story.........
So this has been on my mind since I started this thread.
Bought a true "BMW" oil filter and pulled out the Mann and thought I waisted $10 for this experiment as the BMW filter was still longer than the "crushed" mann (see photo).
BUT.......those that spoke about the "snap" were correct. I never pushed my filter into the cap and heard that snap until now. I think my filters were always sitting on the circular frame of the top of the cap. This time when it snapped I pulled it back out and saw the mark where it fits into that frame. Weird that the force of screwing down the cap never snapped it in??
THANKS to all that gave there input.
Kinda feeling like an idiot that I have been doing this for years......
