A filter arrangement for threadably securing to a filter head, the filter arrangement comprising: (a) a housing having a surrounding wall defining an interior volume, an open mouth providing access to the interior volume, and an end opposite of the open mouth; (i) the surrounding wall having an exterior and an interior; (b) a filter media construction operably held within the interior volume; (c) a sleeve, distinct from the housing, secured to the exterior of the surrounding wall adjacent to the housing mouth and extending partially along the surrounding wall; (i) the sleeve having an exterior and an interior; (ii) the exterior of the sleeve defining mounting threads constructed and arranged to removably mount with the filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head; (iii) the interior of the sleeve being against the exterior of the surrounding wall; and wherein said exterior of the surrounding housing wall includes: (i) a circumferential flange which extends radially outwardly from adjacent said open mouth, (ii) said flange being associated with the sleeve by being formed or bent over a rim of the sleeve, in a manner to clinch it or hold it to the housing, such that the sleeve cannot move axially relative to the housing; the filter arrangement further comprising: (d) a face seal member resting on the top of said flange; characterised in that said face seal member is configured for preventing any fluid from passing between the interface between the interior of the sleeve and the exterior of the wall, and is configured for preventing any fluid from passing between the interface between the filter head and the filter arrangement when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head. (a) a housing having a surrounding wall defining an interior volume, an open mouth providing access to the interior volume, and an end opposite of the open mouth; (i) the surrounding wall having an exterior and an interior; (i) the surrounding wall having an exterior and an interior; (b) a filter media construction operably held within the interior volume; (c) a sleeve, distinct from the housing, secured to the exterior of the surrounding wall adjacent to the housing mouth and extending partially along the surrounding wall; (i) the sleeve having an exterior and an interior; (ii) the exterior of the sleeve defining mounting threads constructed and arranged to removably mount with the filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head; (iii) the interior of the sleeve being against the exterior of the surrounding wall; and wherein said exterior of the surrounding housing wall includes: (i) a circumferential flange which extends radially outwardly from adjacent said open mouth, (ii) said flange being associated with the sleeve by being formed or bent over a rim of the sleeve, in a manner to clinch it or hold it to the housing, such that the sleeve cannot move axially relative to the housing; the filter arrangement further comprising: (d) a face seal member resting on the top of said flange; characterised in that said face seal member is configured for preventing any fluid from passing between the interface between the interior of the sleeve and the exterior of the wall, and is configured for preventing any fluid from passing between the interface between the filter head and the filter arrangement when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head.
