I suspect that you are using the wrong filter & the element is being crushed
when you tighten down the lid. There are 2 filters used on later (1977 & on)
Mercedes diesels & they look identical until you place them side by side.

Subject: [MBZ] Mann Oil Filters Coming Apart

During yesterday's oil change, I had the third consecutive Mann oil filter
come out in two pieces; the paper section became separate from the metal
section. What's the deal on that?  Anyone else experience this? Does that
failure allow a path for oil to flow where it's not filtered? 

I put a Hengst in this time to see what happens.
