OK, we got the private oil change thing worked out so our warrantees are intact. But here's the question now. Got 2 new oil filters from Knaus. They are the right number (11 42 7 512 446) but they aren't the same as the original filter. New one has a plastic seal on one end and nothing on the other. The old filter had a much larger seal at one end and a plastic seal and tube that extends up into the filter. Also, the new one has a slightly larger diameter.

If I have the right part, which end of it goes against the engine side of the filter chamber? Can someone help me with information about how this works? I'm sure it's a simple thing, but don't want to chance getting it wrong.
