So I was changing my oil today and ordered the same filter i always do (Mann W719/45) and noticed the filter I got was different than the old one I removed. My old one just screwed off and didn't have the screw part extending out of the bottom like the new one. I'm kinda confused on whether or not if the part of the filter that screws in broke off the old filter or if they incorrectly labeled the new filter. See attached pics. Sorry I know this is kind of a dumb question but I'm really confused here.

Your new filter is correct, the fitting came out of the old filter, that piece should have cam out with the filter.

The reason you dumped oil over when you removed the filter is because that piece came out of the filter. When it stays in as it unscrews from the filter housing it opens a path inside the engine to allow the oil to drain down instead of spill out.

It's not broken, just unscrew that piece and dispose of it with the filter.

Your filter is the right one. That screw part from the filter is still in your car & needs to be removed so your new filter can be screwed back on.

Happened to me too and I was like WTF but then I screwed the old filter back on top of the part that stayed behind and it came off completely!

i used channelock pliers or you could use vise grips. it's not like you need to reuse it. just clamp down on the threads and twist it off. and make sure you don't overtighten the new one when putting it on to prevent it from coming apart again.

Ok, Also is it possible to change the filter with the oil level full? I would imagine you could since its at the top of the engine. I just don't want to make a big mess and have oil spewing out everywhere

You can change the filter without draining the oil. Doesn't make a mess or anything.

This has happened to me a few times, just used a pliers to loosen it then wrapped a wrag around the threads and used my hand to remove it all the way.

Same thing happened to me once. Easy way to know when it happens is oil spilling out as you unscrew the filter. The piece that came off the filter is an anti drain back valve, so without it the filter dumps its contents as it gets unscrewed.
