Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a filter assembly including a filter head having one or more filter head threads and a filter cartridge. The filter cartridge includes a shell having a shell wall defining an internal volume and a collar disposed around and coupled to the shell, and a filter element. The collar includes one or more collar threads threadably engaged with the one or more filter head threads. The filter element is disposed within the internal volume. The filter element includes filter media and a first endplate coupled to the filter media at a filter media first end. The first endplate includes an endplate end wall and a first spacing member. The first spacing member extends axially away from the endplate end wall such that the first spacing member spaces the shell away from the filter head when the filter element is installed in the shell.
