With a new Mahle filter in hand, I went under to do the deed this weekend.

When I pulled the old filter out (completely easy, just drops out..don't know what all the fuss is about) there was a metal disc on the top of the large element with a seal. This is where the plastic main filter would normally be. It is a simple metal disk with a few holes in it.

Do I try to find the proper plastic bit before I put it together? My gut says "yes" and hopefully someone can tell me where to find one.
