When you buy the German filters (Knecht, Mann or Hengst) they supply you with a new rubber ring for the groove in the top of the cannister as well as seal rings for bolt. I doubt you get those in a fram kit and would highly recommend using the German filters. They aren't expensive and are available from this site.
