(?) O-rings w/ oil change (240d)

Hello All,

Just did my 3rd oil change (since getting my car) last night on my 240d.. I keep seeing mentions on the board on how important it is to periodically 'replace the rubber o-rings'.. I think tho.. that i am missing them (?). The filters i have been using (Knecht/Mahle) have rubber pieces pressed in them on the top and bottom sections, are these the "o-rings" people are referring to? One forum posting sounded like there is supposed to be a o-ring on the bottom of a shaft somewhere (is it the canister lid shaft?) My canister lid does not seem to have any o-ring at all near at its base of the shaft. is this a bad thing? I do have a slightly noisy lifter tick it seems at times....


I greatly appreciate any help any of you can give on this.... thanks!
