Hi
My mini is an early 850 model,which uses the old type paper oil filter. I am replacing the filter with a new one, and am not sure if there is enough space between the outside of the filter and the metal canister.
The inside diameter of the canister is 75mm, and the filter is only 3 or 4mm smaller in diameter.

The photo shows this

Should there be more room for the oil to circulate? If so, what filter do i need? I do not have the old filter at hand to check.

Thanks

John
