When I got my 220D, the housing and cover of the oil bath filter were there, and the tub was half full of oil, but nothing else was in it. I called around and just asked for a new filter element, and got quoted $140 for it. What's the missing piece here, and surely it doesn't cost that much?

Thanks!
