Claim 7:
8. A filter element for a filter system for filtering a fluid, the filter element comprising:
a longitudinal axis;
a filter bellows arranged about the longitudinal axis and enclosing an interior of the filter element;
an end disk comprising an opening to the interior of the filter element;
wherein an axial outer surface of the end disk has a radial outer rim forming an axially extending circumferential first radial outer surface,
wherein the first radial outer surface forms a radial outwards step to a to form a radial protrusion as an axially extending circumferential second radial outer surface,
wherein the radial protrusion is spaced radially outwardly away from the first radial outer surface of the end disk,
wherein the radial protrusion forms a circumferentially extending radial seal configured to seal against a sealing surface of a housing when in an installed state,
wherein the radial protrusion extending extends past the filter bellows in a radially outward direction in relation to the longitudinal axis.
