I changed my own oil today and i dont know if put in the cartridge correctly, do they go both ways? i didnt check to see where the text was (facing up or down)....mine is an S55, should i open it and take it out and double check to make sure it is on the right way? it seemed pretty symmetrical to me, i drove it 20 miles with full oil and no problem...but i am so anal im willing to take it out and flip it if need be.

I've had the same thought about the filter being upside down. I'm sure it doesn't matter. If it were an issue, there would be arrows on the filter showing top and bottom. Good on ya for changing your oil early. 👍

confirmed from Mann regarding 8011z filter.

With this particular filter, It can be installed either direction as it is the same on both ends.
